Here's an oldie. One of the original NES titles released shortly after Super Mario Bros. You're really just playing Pinball on your NES, getting bonus points and bouncing the ball around. If you get the ball into one of the bonus pockets, you can control Mario and bounce the ball around with a bumper in his hands in an attempt to rescue the Princess. Once you get enough points, Princess Toadstool will fall from her prison and you must catch her or she'll be flattened. |

Sound is limited to the noises the bumpers and bonus point things make, and anything the ball hits. There is no music during the game, but what do you expect, this is pinball. Gameplay is very pinball-like (duh). You hit the ball, it bounces off bumpers and whatever, and that is that. The is a little slower that what you might expect from a pinball game. The table is split into two screens. If you loose the ball on the top screen it will fall to the bottom screen and you can go for different bonuses. Loose the ball on the second screen and you loose a life. Controlling Mario in the bonus area is simple enough. All he does is run around in his little confined space and hit the ball. He is a little out of control, how ever, and it's often easy to miss. |
