Mario Pinball Land is a pinball video game developed for the Game Boy Advance. In this installment, Mario is transformed into a pinball to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who has fled to another dimension. Players use flippers to propel Mario through various doors, defeating enemies and collecting power-ups while navigating through vibrant, themed tables. The game combines traditional pinball mechanics with platforming elements.
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.
