{{distinguish|the spin-off title for the [[Game Boy Color]]|[[Tilt-and-Roll Kirby]]}}
'''''Kirby Tilt <nowiki>'n'</nowiki> Tumble''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Game Boy Color]], being the only game in the series to be released for that specific system. It was first released in 2000 in Japan and then the following year, 2001, in North America. The game was never released in Europe. In the February 8, 2023 [[Nintendo Direct]], ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' was shown as one of the games slated to appear in the [[Virtual Console|Nintendo Switch Online]] Game Boy service, being released on June 5th, 2023 in the Americas and June 6th in other time zones.

In ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', [[King Dedede]] is once again responsible for stealing [[Dream Land]]'s [[Sparkling Stars]], and [[Kirby]] is tasked with setting out and recovering them. Instead of running, [[hover]]ing, or [[inhale|inhaling]], however, Kirby traverses his world by rolling around like a marble in a top-down environment, where the biggest obstacles are [[bottomless pit]]s and any enemy or object which threatens to bounce Kirby into one. Uniquely, ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' uses a [[motion controls|tilt]] sensor built into the game cartridge allowing the player to move Kirby around through physical movement of the Game Boy Color console, rather than using any of the face buttons. Additionally, the player can flick the console to make Kirby bounce into the air, which also has an effect on enemies and objects in the game. In the Nintendo Switch Online version, players tilt either the Joy-Con or Pro Controllers when playing in TV or Tabletop Mode and tilt the system itself in Handheld Mode.

The game was developed by [[wikipedia:Nintendo Research & Development 2|Nintendo R&D2]], Nintendo's primary hardware-developing division, which was later merged into [[wikipedia:Nintendo Software Planning and Development|Nintendo SPD]]. It was originally planned to have a direct follow-up for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] - titled ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2]]'' - which would have been controlled from a [[Game Boy Advance]] with a connected game cartridge (used solely for motion detecting) via the link cable. ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2'' was ultimately canceled for unknown reasons, however.

==Story==
[[File:KTnT Story Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork from the instruction manual]]
{{quote|Welcome to Pop Star. It's a very peaceful place.|Opening text from the intro cutscene of ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''}}
Kirby is sleeping on a cloud, when he is awoken by a [[Waddle Dee]] and [[King Dedede]] walking past him carrying strange objects. Kirby is curious as to their intentions, so he hops on a [[Warp Star]], only to find that [[Dream Land]] has been robbed of its stars. Kirby sets out all across [[Popstar|Pop Star]] to get the stars back from King Dedede, eventually defeating him in an unorthodox battle involving [[cannon]]s.

==Gameplay==
[[File:KTnT cartridge.jpg|left|thumb|150px|''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' is played on a unique pink cartridge with a built in gyro-sensor.]]
[[File:KTnT Level 1-1 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Kirby rolling along in Lvl 1-1.]]
In ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', Kirby does not move as he normally would in the main series, but instead rolls around like a marble. To control him, the player will need to tilt the system in the appropriate directions. As such, the stages are built like rolling marble courses in a top-down view similar to that of older ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' games, and Kirby can easily lose a life if he goes over an edge. The main challenge comes from getting Kirby safely over pits and obstacles. This can be aided by having the player flick the system upward to make Kirby bounce over open pits. Other methods of traversal include using items and stage devices like [[Bumper]]s, [[Jump Hole]]s, and [[Balloon (item)|Balloons]] which grant temporary flight, among other objects. Enemies also appear on the stage, though Kirby cannot inhale them, and touching them will usually deal him some damage. Kirby will need to make use of temporary invulnerability or a special item - such as the [[Mike (item)|Microphone]] - to defeat them. Against bosses, Kirby can fight back by using various methods, usually by launching into their weak points.

Each stage also has a time limit, which can be extended by collecting [[Stopwatch]]es or passing checkpoint gates on the stage. When the timer drops below 50 seconds, an alarm sounds, along with a message saying "HURRY UP!!", and the music changes to a more fast-paced version. If the timer reaches zero before Kirby reaches the level's end, he loses a life.

There are also a couple of bonus stars which are optional to obtain. Depending on their color, these can have various effects: [[Warp Star]]s can take Kirby to bonus areas to get additional 1-Ups, [[Blue Star]]s allow Kirby to play a [[Sub-Game]] after completing the stage, and [[Red Star]]s contribute to unlocking the [[Extra Game]] and attaining [[100% completion]].

==Sub-Games==

After beating the game, they can also be replayed freely by selecting the Bonus Star on the world map. On the "Bonus Star!" sub-game menu, the player can choose from any of the five sub-games:
*[[Kirby's Burst-A-Balloon]] - A sub-game where the player uses tilt controls to help Kirby aim and shoot arrows at incoming balloons.
*[[Kirby's Hurdle Race]] - A sub-game where Kirby races against [[King Dedede]] while jumping over hurdles to avoid slowing down.
*[[Do The Kirby]] - A sub-game where the player has to copy a sequence of arrows to make Kirby dance.
*[[Kirby's Roll-O-Rama]] - A sub-game where the player has to guide Kirby balls using tilt controls into holes, while avoiding [[Gordo]]s around the course. 
*[[Kirby's Chicken Race]] - A sub-game where Kirby has to race against a chicken using a wind-up car that must be charged by shaking the player's system.

==Compatibility with other Game Boy models==
''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' is not compatible with the original [[Game Boy]] or the [[Super Game Boy]]. However, the game's cartridge is unusual in that, unlike other Game Boy Color-exclusive titles, it sports a notch on the top-right corner like a Game Boy-compatible game. It is unknown why the notch is present, as attempting to play the game on a Game Boy brings up an error screen.

While the [[Game Boy Advance]] is backward compatible with ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', the game cannot be played properly from a Game Boy Advance SP unit, where the game cartridge must be inserted from the bottom and facing backward. As a result, playing ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' on a Game Boy Advance SP inverts the controls. However, a workaround for properly calibrating the controls is to insert ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' onto a GameShark and then into the SP unit, therefore properly reorienting the cartridge.

Similarly, ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' can also be played using the [[nwiki:Game Boy Player|Game Boy Player]] peripheral of the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game is not convienent to play this way, as it requires the player to pick up the GameCube console itself and tilt it during gameplay. Aside from its impracticality, doing so can also damage the console and the Game Boy Player start-up disc (although the start-up disc can be taken out once the game is booted up).

==Trivia==
*This game almost got rebranded as a ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' game in the west, due to the series' huge popularity at the time. However, in the end the change didn't come to light, and it retained the ''Kirby'' brand.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/01/23/kirby-keeps-his-tilt "Kirby Keeps His Tilt", IGN]</ref><ref>''Nintendo World'' (official Brazilian Nintendo magazine), issue 30, page 9</ref>
*This is the last ''Kirby'' game to have 8-bit graphics. It is also the last ''Kirby'' game to use the original English logo, which was replaced by the one used in [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|the anime]] starting with ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
*Most of [[Kirby's voice]] clips in this game were taken directly from his appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', though heavily bit-crushed to fit on the Game Boy cartridge. Aside from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and some minor uncredited instances, there would be a nearly decade-long gap until his next fully-voiced appearance, ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' in 2010.
*The way levels and stages are structured in this game is strikingly similar to the layout of the original ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'', with eight levels consisting of four stages each, each fourth stage being a castle setting with a boss at the end, and two hidden places where the player can skip levels, similar to two of the Warp Zones in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Additionally, this game was developed by the same team that worked on ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. Deluxe|Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the Game Boy Color remake of ''Super Mario Bros.'' which was released a year earlier.
*''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'' won the 2001 Nintendo Power Award for "[[:File:Nintendo_Power_156_May_2002_122.jpg|Most Overlooked Game]]", as voted by readers of the magazine.
