Battle Pinball for SFC


Image: MobyGames

Battle Pinball

Unironically the best 16 bit pinball game


Genre: arcade - pinball

Publisher: Banpresto

Year: 1995

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Wow this is incredible! Super forgiving hit detection. Maybe even questionable but it favors the player so I love it. Obviously there's not much to note about the gameplay of a pinball game tmbut this is as good as it gets in the genre.


Level Design Score: 5

Level Design Notes:

4 tables with three screens each. One scrolls with the ball, which I don't like, while the others snap between levels. It's very clear how to traverse the screens which makes it so much fun to do so. Each screen has a mini storyline going on like Ultraman fighting bad guys in a city street. So much fun


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Again I love the SD characters. Each table is themed after one of the four characters. There's a city, a desert, an underwater, and a space theme.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Bright and colorful. Lovely animations all over the place. Unfortunately there's some slowdown on at least one table which messes with your timing.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Impressive sound effects but barely passable music.


Overall Score: 83

Review ID: 1544
