So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Pinball, contrary to what the box and cartridge label would have you believe, is not a Mario game.

Unused Graphics

Bonus Game

20

The bonus game (featuring a pancake-prone Pauline) has rollovers with numbers "1", "2", and "3". Graphics exist for a "4" rollover, using the top-right tile from the "1" rollover.

Help!

Pauline about to walk and then fall off an edge. Unused because the bonus game ends as soon as she falls below the paddle.

General

of steel

A little 8×8 ball graphic in the background tiles. May have been used for showing the ball count instead of the text "BALL".

sproing

Pop-up bumpers to add realism to the slingshots. As is, the ball just bounces off for no real reason.

denied

Unused one-way gates. Some were clearly meant for the top of the table.

No hole for you.

moving

A hole surrounded by a moving gate. Might have been used to block off the minigame?
