Super Pinball Action
超级弹球行动
Super Pinball Action is an arcade pinball game developed by Tecmo and released in 1991. Players control flippers on a vertically scrolling pinball table, launching a ball to hit targets, bumpers, and enemies spread across multiple stages. The game blends traditional pinball mechanics with action elements, as the tables feature enemy characters that can be struck for points and defeated. Players use two flipper buttons to keep the ball in play while aiming for specific targets to advance. The tables vary in layout and obstacle arrangement, offering different challenges as progression continues. Scoring depends on accuracy and chaining hits together. The single-player format puts full focus on mastering each table's layout and maximizing point totals through precise flipper control.
