Bowser Pinball is a minigame in Mario Super Sluggers. It is held on the Bowser Castle stadium.
Gameplay[]
Bowser Pinball is essentially a makeshift game of pinball: the player has to keep a Spike Ball inside of an area shaped like a pinball table. They can earn points by hitting coins, walls, and Bob-ombs. There are Bowser Statues with a set of slots in front of them, and the results revealed by the slots determine the bonus received. In the center, there is a pit that opens up sometimes. The player has one minute to score more points than the required goal, differing for each difficulty level: 1,000 in Easy; 1,500 in Normal; and 2,000 in Hard. By clearing all three difficulty levels, the player unlocks Special Mode, where the object is to get the best possible score with only two Spike Balls. Special Mode also has a Bob-omb meter that doubles, triples, or quadruples the number of points earned when filled up.
In multiplayer, players take turns batting the Spike Ball around; each player has two rounds, and they can only bat for up to thirty seconds. While one player is batting, the other players have to repel the Spike Ball before they get hit. All characters begin with 1,000 points, and whoever is hit by the Spike Ball loses 50 points. Players who hit the Spike Ball earn 200 points if the batting player misses. Whoever has the most points after the two rounds are over is the winner.
