Kirby: Tilt 'n' Tumble has a tilt sensor. So, if you tilt your Game Boy, he rolls like a heavy ball along an incline. Gravity! It's innovation!

Problem: The game was made for the Game Boy Color. Thus, the tilt sensor is automagically calibrated for a system that has the cart shoved into the top (e.g.: the Game Boy Color, the original Game Boy Advance). It doesn't work quite as expected when shoved into the GBA SP's bottom.

When I plugged K:TnT into my GBA SP, I gave it a good go with the reversed controls. "It'll be easy!" I thought. "I'll just think of Kirby as a helium balloon instead of a weighted bowling ball! Surely that makes more sense anyway." I soon found myself frustrated and wondering about the pricing of GBAs. ...BUT WAIT...!

While I was at PAX, I bought something from a retro games seller. I was sure I'd never use it, but it was an oddity to me, and only $2, so I picked it up. Remembering this, I turned to the cardboard boxes that house my Game Boy collection.

I opened the lower box with faith and found:

A GameShark!

I plugged the GameShark into my GBA SP, and then plugged my K:TnT into the GameShark. It was facing the right way! I turned on my GBA SP and...

...

...The game played!

Hooray!

And then we lived happily ever after.

THE END.
