SUPER MARIO BROS. MUSHROOM WORLD PINBALL
(Posted 2013-04-09 09:31:48 by basscomm)

I'd like to set a scene for you. It's summer, I have a week off work, and
no plans. I decide to go to a little pizza joint in a small Indiana town [

] for a little pizza and just to see what I can find. Like most pizza
joints, this place has one video game: a Super Mario Bros. pinball
machine?

It's kind of hard to tell from these pictures, but the machine is a little
on the small side. It's apparently something called a "Kid's Size". Which
means that the playfield is smaller, and a bit simpler than your standard
pinball machine. It also has a spot on the side where it could dispense
tickets, if it was so equipped. This one had it covered up, so I doubt it
did much.

And I really wanted to play it, but I stuck in a quarter and... nothing.
Called the manager over who reset the machine, put in another quarter
and... nothing. 

So, I didn't get to play this machine, which was kind of a shame. I really
wanted to (and still do want to). I should probably go back up there some
day and see if the machine is still in place and if they ever got it fixed.


But until then, here's a video of someone else playing one.



Allright! Road trip time!

[...] pinball machine I talked about the other day was pretty awesome, and
practically anyone with a passing interest in the Mario universe would love
