DESCRIPTION

The jumping plumber gets "spherified," and goes for a roll through an assortment of Mushroom Kingdom-themed pinball tables in this unusual Mario adventure. More than just a pinball game with a franchise character, Mario Pinball follows a traditional platform game format, in which the goal on each level is not just to rack up the points, but to find the exit door to the next stage. The game also features special boss battle areas, where Mario can win coins by defeating his foes. Occasionally, he'll also come across shops, run by the often under-appreciated Toad, who sells power-ups and special pinball table equipment. The ultimate goal is to rescue Peach, who once again has been kidnapped by Bowser. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
