Kirby's Star Stacker

Hints

Insane course
  On the Round Clear setting, when you beat Super Hard Level 16, the Insane
  course opens up.

Eliminate a Star or Bomb Block
  You can eliminate a Star or Bomb Block by stacking it between matching Friend
  Blocks. Remember, Hard Blocks will turn into Star Blocks when stacked, so you
  need to stack them twice to eliminate them. Blocks fall from the top of the
  screen into the center. Rotate and switch the falling blocks to line them up
  with other like Friend Blocks. The matching Friend Blocks, and the sandwiched
  Star Blocks, will all disappear. If an unmatching Friend Block, or blank
  spaces, are between the matching ones you line up, the sandwiched blocks will
  not be eliminated. You can sandwich Stars either horizontally or vertically.
  When like Friend Blocks touch each other, they will be eliminated.

Make chain reactions
  It's really easy to make chain reactions occur, and this is how you can
  efficiently clear away Stars, or really sock it to your opponent in the VS.
  Mode. When you eliminate blocks, if the ones on top of them fall and create a
  complete line between matching animal friends, they too will be eliminated.
  After completing a successful Chain, Bonus Stars will fall from the top of the
  screen. If these Bonus Stars complete a line of Stars between matching Friend
  Blocks, those rows will be eliminated too, and the Chain might continue. The
  more Chains you get, the more Bonus Stars will fall.

How can I get to the Special Stage (Stage 11)?
  To access the elusive Stage 11, you must reach the Borderline in every
  previous level. Every stage has a pre-determined score called a "Borderline"
  that you must meet or beat. If you reach the Borderline in a stage, a flag
  will appear on a level. Once you have cleared the Borderline in Stages 1
  through 10, and flags are on ALL of them, you will be able to access Stage 11.

How can I get enough points to reach the Borderline?
  To reach the Borderline in each stage, clear 100% of the blocks in the Bonus
  Rounds. (Bonus Rounds begin when you hit a Switch Block.) You will collect 500
  points for every block you hit and 500 points for every second you have left
  on the timer when you complete the round. This is a MUST if you want to
  collect enough points to clear the Borderline for a particular stage!
  Remember, you won't collect any points if you miss any blocks.

How do you perform Kirby Power Bounces?
  If you press the A Button at the precise moment the ball hits the paddle, you
  will perform a Kirby Power Bounce. Yahoo! This killer technique lets you
  destroy those super-tough Power Blocks that you normally can't dent.
