Up Cloud

Up Cloud is a sub-game that appears in Kirby's Block Ball. To activate it, Kirby must find a Warp Star hidden in a stage and touch it. He will be taken to one of four sub-games, and the player may choose Up Cloud.

Kirby will appear in an atmospheric setting with three clouds. His goal is to bump a cloud to the top of the screen; though Kirby can hit all of them, he will only be rewarded for the first cloud that makes it to the top. A cloud will rise slightly with every bump from underneath -- hitting it from the top fill not work. The sub-game ends when Kirby falls off the screen or hits a cloud all the way to the goal.

When the sub-game is over, Kirby will mount his Warp Star again and return to the stage he left.

Scoring

 * The cloud in the '1UP' column will reward the player with a 1UP if he/she can get it to the goal. It takes six successful hits to accomplish this.
 * The cloud in the '2UP' column will reward the player with two 1UPs if he/she can get it to the goal. It takes ten successful hits to accomplish this.
 * The cloud in the '3UP' column will reward the player with three 1UPs if he/she can get it to the goal. It takes fourteen successful hits to accomplish this.

Trivia

 * When a cloud is hit from underneath, it will look sad. When hit from above, it will look irritated. When it reaches the goal, the cloud will look happy.
 * The three columns vary in order across the screen; they aren't always in the same spot.

14 hits = 3 lives 10 hits = 2 lives 6 hits = 1 life
