NES Longplay [456] Pinball

www.longplays.org
Played by: Yushira
Pinball is one of Nintendo's early games that stars Mario and his girlfriend Pauline from Donkey Kong. The objective is to get as many points as possible until the game is over. As you can see, you can also lose a life by letting Pauline fall to her death in the bonus game. -

I remember being so dissapointed when my grandma bought me this game but it became one of my favorite NES games love the memories

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

It's just pinball, but it actually does that fine, and pinball can be fun.

[@WhoJustReplying]

Cheaper than super Mario bros 3 lol

You ungrateful little sob.

[@lukasjetu9776]

i love when i get repeated 1000p because of that one 100p circle throwing me back up

[@francescomanier1246]

This was the 1st game ever which I played for NES, when my parents bought me in 1989! Great childhood memories.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

How much did your parents buy you for?

[@LukesYuGiOhChannel]

I loved this game when I was young. Trying to hit everything was always fun.

[@EasyCartoonDrawingTutorials]

These are such satisfying sounds.

Intresting fact about this game- HAL actually programmed this game for Nintendo- it was Iwata's first game he programmed for them.

[@Monchi2006]

I know its 4 years late, but i had a suspicion about this, since the Launch sound effect seems to be the same one used in Joust, when things get killed. Same about two songs and sound effect used in Myke Tyson's Punch Out / Star Gate.

[@curleed85]

@@LuckyBacon That’s no surprise since HAL Laboratory and Nintendo were always close even before Nintendo bailed them out.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

That's the first time I've seen that you can actually rescue Pauline. Nice job.

[@bennel3588]

I remember the first time I played, I just let Pauline fall to the ground, because I did not know I had to catch her, and then send her to the exit. When it said "Game Over" after that, I thought it meant that I beat the game, but I really lost my only life remaining. Later, I found out that when I release her, I'm supposed to catch her, and then send her to an exit. There's really no way to beat the game, I just try to get how many points I can get.

[@gerobbbbbbbb]

I have one of those "400 games in one" ripoff consoles and one of the games is this one. Its one of my favourites, though sometimes its very glitchy.

[@amyvitality66]

Once the score reached 100,000, flippers gone invisible. I played this game when i was a kid and thought I broke the game because of the invisible flippers. lol

[@nesguide2seriale1]

the flippers will return when you score 150,000 pts.

[@bennel3588]

When the flippers became invisible, I thought getting 200,000 points would turn the ball invisible. I think I did get to 200,000 points when I was a preteen. I used to think I have to get 999,999 points to beat the game, but there's really no way to beat the game, I just try to see how many points I can get. If the ball became invisible, that would be too hard. I do not think anyone ever got to 999,999 points without cheats. I think the score can only go high to 999,990 points, because it seems like the points can only go by numbers that can be divided by 10.

[@Backinblackbunny009]

Thanks for the nostalgia feels. I loved playing this at like 5 in my grandfather's basement in the late 80s.

[@Zarzadillator]

Este fue mi primer videojuego. ¡Qué recuerdos me trae!

[@MarkDavid022]

NES pinball game I will never forget you.

[@Sketcz]

Not sure if it's nostalgia, but this is still the best videogame pinball I've ever played. And I've played most of them. The majority either have empty tables with not enough going on, or they have interactive zones but they're too fiddly or difficult to do much with, requiring razor thing precision. NES Pinball has the right balance of stuff to interact with, gimmicks (like invisible flippers), and with enough leniency so you can activate most things fairly easily. Me and my dad once beat 200k. No other pinball videogames has enthralled anywhere near as much.

[@AndrewHartford777]

21:43 So THAT'S what happened to Pauline !

[@michaelbrush741]

I played this game so much I saw it when I closed my eyes. thank you for this.

[@ThunderMarco911]

The two side holes are the main antagonists and the central bottom hole is the secondary antagonist of this game.

[@mediacritic]

I loved this game back in the day.

[@DPickho1]

This brings back so many memories of going to my grandma's house!

[@wizzgamer]

Decent game for launch 🚀 on the NES back in 1983.

[@Yonah_144]

The Pauline bonus level scared the shit out of me as a kid. I actually nearly returned the game to the rental store.

[@memelegend5956]

Why

[@RicoTheHorizon]

Feeling of helplessness when falling into the outlane

[@farfernugent2667]

Pauline falls down at 12:23 and 15:47 , and hits the ground at 21:42 , if you're coming from the Mike and Bootsy video.

[@sohutohh]

+Farfer Nugent You are great, thank you.

[@konami1979]

Ha, this was the first NES game that my parents got me for Christmas. It wasn't Zelda or Contra, but damn was it fun.

[@goldenlink4732]

Lol, the bonus stage seems like the best place to be :D

[@LukesYuGiOhChannel]

Loved playing this.

[@morallybankrupt1461]

One of my favorites as a kid.

[@absolite6]

It's games like these and Wreaking Crew that remind me that Mario actually was once a regular working guy and didn't spend 24/7 in the Mushroom Kingdom. Also rescuing a different girl altogether.

[@Dauwis]

Good times old school style, Thank you !

[@projectpamaphd7042]

Life was so simple back then.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

I remember thinking the computer was so cheap but then I see this and I guess it is possible to be good at it.

[@engarrotada]

Worst part of the bonus stage you lose a ball if pauline bits the floor instead of marios carrying platform

[@CornishCreamtea07]

We use to have this dance mat that you plugged into the TV. It had a dance rhythm game and for some reason this.

[@ElectronicIngDiaz0786]

[@susanfit47]

The player controls the paddles of a virtual pinball machine. Two screens represent the traditional pinball table plus a bonus mode. The player launches a ball with the plunger from the first screen-the bottom of the pinball table-through the top of the screen to the second screen. Play moves to the first screen if the ball falls through the bottom of the top screen and returns to the top screen if the ball is hit back through the space at the top of the first screen. The player controls the flippers on either screen to deflect the ball to keep it from falling off the bottom of the lower screen. Pinball has a secondary Breakout-like mode, which the player reaches by hitting the ball into a bonus hole that takes the player to a bonus stage to control Mario carrying a platform. The object of this mode is to rescue Pauline who had debuted with Mario in Donkey Kong (1981). The player achieves this by bouncing the ball off Mario's platform and hitting various targets, the destruction of which also earns points. When the blocks under her are all gone, she will drop. Catching her on Mario's platform earns bonus points, but allowing her to hit the ground causes the player to lose. This game was released in October 18, 1985, but the copyright is from 1983.

[@vladimirdanov9536]

Best pinball game to me. Small numbers relativetely simple screen yet enough happening. Not like today's games where there is so much going on you can't even see the ball... and the big numbers too like 5 min into the game and already had 12 mil .. ridiculous and unnacessery

[@ilovepepsi6670]

In the bonus stage where Mario tries to save Pauline from falling, as a kid i always wondered what will happen if the ball goes inside that part where Pauline is walking left and right. For example when Pauline is falling from that part, there's a hole from where she's falling, and then the ball goes through that hole, and Pauline is rescued, and then the hole is automatically sealed, and the ball is trapped inside that part where Pauline is running What will happen??? This is bothering me for 20+ years. As a kid i even dreamed that it takes you to a secret stage.

Hello to all. Can someone tell me what to do to this game like all the other games that have level 1 , 2 ,3 and goes on. I mean in this game you just play to make high score before loose all the lives , or after a score you go to another level like a different appearance pinball machine. I am confused that's why I ask. I just started to play it in Nintendo switch.
