Jumping has always helped Mario perform heroic feats, but in Mario Pinball Land, the plumber must learn how to roll to rescue the princess. When Bowser kidnaps Peach and escapes to another dimension, a scientist transforms Mario into a ball to chase after the fiend. Now you must use your flippers to shoot a much rounder Mario into doors that lead to new areas. In his new form, Mario is also useful for knocking down enemies, picking up special bonuses, and finding power-ups.

I'm in love with this game's style and concept. Open world collectathon pinball Mario game? Sounds like game of the year material to me. Sadly this is one of the only examples of Nintendo putting out a straight up frustrating, unpolished experience who's mechanics needed some serious fine tuning. The flippers are just too small to have the level of control the game asks of you.
A form of pure torture, but in a somewhat based way.

I would have ended myself if I played this without save states....
I had beaten this one before as a kid, coming back to it I beat it again on my first try but bowser is pretty harsh. I don't think it's a bad game though. I like it even... muahahahahaha
This game has the foulest, most repugnant pinball tables ever made.
This is a pretty bad pinball game. The game clearly wants you to learn to actually play pinball, which is cool, but it wants you to control the ball pretty precisely from screen one. This ends up being a big ask in part because the ball physics feel off. Youll spend alot of time trying to hit a specific button to open the path to the next screen, losing your ball on that screen, then dropping you back to that previous screen to try and hit that button again. Its tedious and not particularly fun.
Game highlight: the visuals are charming and the opening cutscene is very funny.
