Pinball is Nintendo's first mainstream video game version of the pinball machines and one of the NES launch titles.

Information

The game takes on the form of a simple pinball video game. The game has two screens as well as two different modes, with Game B simply being a faster game. The game also has a two-player mode in which the players take turns. There is also a bonus game which features cameo appearances by Mario and Pauline, where the ball must be bounced off of a girder held by Mario to free Pauline.
