Kirby's Toy Box

Kirby's Toy Box is the translated name of a small series of sports-themed Kirby games titled カービィのおもちゃ箱 (Kābī No Omocha Bako, meaning Kirby's Toy Box) in Japan. In this particular case, Kirby's Toy Box refers specifically to Kābī No Omocha Bako - Beesubooru, which means Kirby's Toy Box - Baseball. The Kirby's Toy Box series was broadcasted over Nintendo's first form of digital distribution, the Satellaview network, and, depending on when the player connects to the network, different games are available at different times.

Kirby's Toy Box - Baseball was just a simple one screened game that featured Kirby being the ball. It plays somewhat like pinball, where the player must hit the ball in one of the scoring slots, or if he fails to make it in any slot, he gets a strike. The goal is to get as many runs as possible, and just aim for a high score. The game technically plays forever or until the player gets 3 outs, but since there is a limited period for broadcasting the Baseball game, it only lasts as long. There is a 2 player mode available.

While the intro screen flashes the Kirby Super Star menu, it's apparent that this may have been an add-on idea at one point, or Super Star was just used to promote the game as they both came out the same year in Japan. Whatever the case, there is supposedly more Kirby Satellaview games out there, but Homerun Race is the only one that has been found..
