This game was meant to have a UsefulNotes/GameCube sequel, but it was renamed ''Roll-O-Rama'' with a plain marble in Kirby's place and then unfortunately cancelled in 2002. ''Tilt 'n' Tumble'' would later serve as inspiration for the "Tilt-and-Roll" mini-game in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'' twenty-two years later.

The game would later be ported on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch via Nintendo Switch Online's Game Boy app, which is playable via the in-built gyro controls.

!!This game features the following tropes:
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: One of several spinoffs entirely dedicated to Kirby's roundness.
* ExcusePlot: King Dedede is building marble courses for some reason and Kirby gives chase, suspicious of him being responsible for planet Popstar losing its stars.
* BottomlessPits: Kirby will be knocked out if he falls off course. Despite being able to float. Water and sand also count as pits, though you can float over them for a while.
* OddballInTheSeries: Main ''Kirby'' games are platformers where the hero can use his enemies' own attacks against them. This spinoff is instead a marble run toy akin to (and, ironically, considerably better than) ''VideoGame/SonicLabyrinth''.
* RecurringBoss: Most of the boss fights are against a Kracko eye who uses spheres as a body instead of a cloud.
* RollingAttack: Kirby actually cannot attack just by rolling on people and has to either flip enemies or bounce off them.
