==Story==  
==Story==  
'''From the instruction booklet:'''
[[File:MPLIntro.png|thumb|left|A scene from the intro.]]
<blockquote>
The story takes place in an amusement park called [[The Fun Fair]]. [[Mario]], some [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and [[Princess Peach]] were waiting in line to try a new ride called the Air Cannon. To ride it, the character had to be turned into a ball first via the Spherasizer. Then, they would get shot out of the cannon to the target. The Toad who first tried it had a blast. Then it was Peach's turn. Unfortunately, two [[Goomba]]s came by and changed the cannon's direction. Peach was then shot out to [[Bowser's Castle]]. Mario then used the Spherasizer to turn into a ball himself, starting his next adventure.
'''Princess in Peril!?'''<br>During the unveiling ceremony for the new "Sky Cannon" at the Fun Fair, Princess Peach was accidentally blasted off to Bowser's castle! The Sky Cannon, an amazing new transportation device that launches people to new destinations, got off to a rocky start because of this shocking turn of events.


According to eyewitnesses, the mishap occurred when a pair of shady Goombas altered the cannon's direction. Within moments, they had locked up the castle, with Princess Peach trapped inside!
He used the Air Cannon to shoot himself to the first area, called the [[Grassy Greens]]. Mario had to get enough [[Star]]s to open the [[Star Door]] to the area with the windmill. When Mario managed to enter the windmill, he had to battle a deformed version of [[Petey Piranha]]. Using his pinball skills, Mario bashed the creature into submission, earning the [[Star Key]] it had.


'''Mario to the Rescue!'''<br>Without a moment's hesitation, Mario leapt into the cannon to rescue Princess Peach. If Mario collects four [[Star Key]]s, he'll be able to get into Bowser's castle. To do that, he'll need to confront many challenges and defeat the bosses who hold those keys! Will he be able to rescue Princess Peach?
Another Air Cannon appeared at the start of the world, and Mario went back and used it to blast off to the next world, the [[Frosty Frontier]]. Mario bashed his way through [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Penguin]]s, and more to pass more Star Doors. In one area with Penguins, Mario bashed a [[Freezie]] onto a crack in the ice. It sank into a hole, which led Mario into a cold, underwater area. Here, Mario went into a sunken ship to confront [[Cheep-Cheep Pufferfish|Puffer-Cheep]]. After bashing it with [[Bob-omb]]s, the fish was deflated, giving up its Star Key.


'''How Does it Work?'''<br>Before you can ride the Sky Cannon, a special "Pinballer" squeezes you into ball{{sic}}, so that you can fit into the cannon's barrel. The Pinballer also makes you surprisingly rubbery, so that you bounce harmlessly when you land!
Mario went back the start of the world, where another Air Cannon appeared. He used it to blast off to the [[Shifting Sands]] world. He encountered many desert-related foes, and unearthed a pyramid. Inside, he passed through the tricky puzzles and traps until he found his way to [[King Tut]] the Egyptian Koopa sorcerer. Mario used Tut's magic against him, earning him the next Star Key.

[[File:MPLIntro.png|thumb|left|A scene from the intro]]
[[File:Mario vs bigboo.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Mario's battle against '''Big Boo''']]
The story takes place in an amusement park called [[the Fun Fair]]. [[Mario]], some [[Toad (species)|Toads]], and [[Princess Peach]] are waiting in line to try a ride called the [[Sky Cannon]]. To ride it, the rider must be turned into a ball first via the [[Pinballer]], after which they are shot out of the cannon. The Toad who tries it first has fun. As Peach is about to take her turn, two [[Goomba]]s appear and change the direction the cannon is aiming toward [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]]. Mario then uses the Pinballer to turn into a ball himself to go save Peach.
Mario used the Air Cannon that appeared at the start of the world to be shot back to The Fun Fair. This time, Mario went into the Haunted House to fight a few [[Boo]]s, and take out the [[Big Boo]]. He was awarded the last Star Key.


At the end of the game, Mario confronts [[Bowser]] inside his castle. When Bowser is defeated, he is launched out of the castle. Mario and Peach, after returning to normal, are riding the roller coaster on the final screen.
He took the Air Cannon once more to shoot himself to [[Bowser's Castle]]. After gaining entrance from using the Star Keys, he confronted [[Bowser]]. Mario manages to defeat him, and gets Peach back to the fair, where they both ride on the roller coaster together at the end.

==Gameplay==
==Abilities==
[[File:MPL GrassyGreens.PNG|thumb|Mario in the [[Grassy Greens Stage]]]]
*[[Mini Mario]] - Mario can transform into a [[Mini Mario]] by using a [[Mini Mushroom]]. In this form he can enter bee hives and igloos.
''Mario Pinball Land'' is a pinball game featuring elements of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. The player controls Mario, who takes on the shape and is used as a pinball. The left and right [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s are used to hit Mario. He can earn [[point]]s by hitting objects and enemies. There are five stages, each separated into a few areas, and they can be traveled to via the Sky Cannon. If Mario falls down the drain between the flippers at the bottom of a stage, he loses a life. At first, when Mario starts an area, there is a blue [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]] in between the two flippers to protect him from falling down. After a certain amount of time, the Pipe disappears. Every stage (except the Fun Fair) has a few paths, each obstructed by a [[★ door|door]] that requires a number of [[Power Star|Star]]s to open, like in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Once the door is open, Mario can take the path and continue to the next area. If Mario falls down the drain in a following area, he returns to the previous area, where the enemies and objects are reset. In a few cases, falling down the drain in a following area sends him back two areas.
*[[Super Mario]] - Mario can transform into a [[Super Mario]] by using a [[Mushroom]]. He'll be bigger for a while.
*[[Invincible Mario]] - If Mario gets a star, he can be invincible for a while.


Whenever Mario defeats an enemy, it drops a [[coin]], although if it is part of a streak (done by defeating more than one enemy before touching the bottom of the screen), the enemy instead drops a [[Blue Coin]]. If [[Toad]] appears, Mario can hit him to enter [[Toad's tent|his tent]], where Toad offers a few items for sale. Mario can buy only one item with the coins he has collected. After he does so, the item he bought is displayed at the bottom right corner of the screen up until he uses it. Mario can also obtain items from a [[? Block]]. Blue Coins can be spent only in the blue tent in the Fun Fair, and they are used to access three different challenges.
==Characters==
*[[Mario]]
*[[Peach]]
*[[Toad]]
*[[Bowser]]


Mario can collect a Star by either defeating every enemy in an area, completing a challenge in the blue tent at the Fun Fair, or collecting every [[Red Coin]] in an area. There is a total of 35 Stars to collect. If Mario defeats every enemy in an area where he already collected its Star, a [[question mark]] appears instead. If Mario touches it, a roulette spins, and he obtains whichever item it lands on.
==Enemies==
*[[Goomba]]s
*[[Koopa Troopa]]
*[[Pokey]]s
*[[Shy Guy]]s
*[[Boo]]s
*[[Cheep-Cheep]]
*[[Cobrat]]
*[[Fly Guy]]
*[[Penguin]]
*[[Freezie]]
*[[Mr. Blizzard]]
*[[Bumbler]]
*[[Lakitu]]
*[[Spiny|Spinies]]
*[[Bullet Bill]]
*[[Chain Chomp]]
*[[Bob-omb]]
*[[Monty Mole]]
*[[Klepto]]


A boss appears in every stage, and defeating one yields a [[Star Key]] (along with several coins). There are four Star Keys, and each unlocks a [[boss statue]] in Bowser's castle. Once every statue is unlocked, Mario can face off against the final boss, Bowser.
==Bosses==
*[[Petey Piranha]]
*[[Cheep-Cheep Pufferfish|Puffer-Cheep]]
*[[King Tut]]
*[[Big Boo]]
*[[Bowser]]


There are two modes: Adventure and Time Attack. At first, only the Adventure mode is accessible. Mario can unlock the Time Attack mode once he has defeated at least one boss. The objective of Time Attack is to complete a stage as fast as possible.

==Development==
After Adrian Barritt and Richard Horrocks founded [[Silverball Studios|Fuse Games]], they wanted to pitch a pinball game to [[Nintendo]]. Figuring that they needed to make an impact before Nintendo would speak to them, Barritt and Horrocks made a demo consisting of what they figured would be the first and last areas of the game. Afterward, they went to Seattle to pitch the game to Nintendo of America and were approved. The game was developed for the [[Game Boy Advance]] rather than the [[Nintendo GameCube]] due to Fuse Games' limited resources and due to the system's similarities to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].
 
''Mario Pinball Land'' was developed over the course of 18 months, from September 2002 when the company was founded to its completion in June 2004, and by a team of five people.<ref>{{cite|author=Harris, Craig|date=September 20, 2004|language=en|url=www.ign.com/articles/2004/09/20/fuse-games-on-mario-pinball|title=Fuse Games on ''Mario Pinball''<!--Page title doesn't have "Land"-->|publisher=IGN|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref> At an earlier point in development, the game was simply titled ''Mario Pinball'' before the name was changed.

''Mario Pinball Land'' was developed by Fuse Games, who would later go on to develop more pinball-based games for Nintendo. The entirety of the game was developed by Adrian Barritt, Richard Horrocks, Cai Remrod, Keith Ainslie, and Kevin Ayre. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] was the game's main producer.

|5/10
|"''A game can't live on pretty looks alone. Mario Pinball Land is a graphically amazing title, but the gameplay itself is far more flawed and annoying than it is fun to play. And considering Nintendo already successfully hit the pinball genre last year in Pokemon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire, Mario-branded game is a large step backwards in game design. This game may have more pinball "challenges" than Pokemon Pinball, but when players have to struggle through some of the frustratingly bad design implementations, it's almost not worth the playtime.''"
|-

|Tom Bramwell, [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_supermarioball_gba Eurogamer]
|5/10
|"''In the end it's far more frustrating than it should be, particularly given that it's an idea with so much potential - and Fuse Games clearly has come up with a lot of good ideas in making this. It's just hard to recommend when there are so many silly things working against it. Issues that should have been obvious to the people making it. It's also a bit short, although given that it's a pinball game and there's so much to do and collect there's obviously a fair amount of replay value herein. Not a complete balls-up then, but nowhere near as good as Nintendo's benchmark handheld pinball games, and if you're after a flipper-fest then it's to one of those that you ought to turn. And on that note, if you can't find monochrome Kirby's outing any more, don't be put off by the "Pokémon" part of "Pokémon Pinball"; it's actually a lot better than it sounds, and nudges Super Mario Ball right out of contention.''"

|"''Nintendo has a knack for coming up with quirky games that are easy to pick up and play. The company's latest game, a funky fusion of Mario and pinball called Mario Pinball Land, is a good example. It combines the general concepts behind tabletop pinball with the characters and worlds from the Mario franchise to create a strange sort of adventure game that's fairly fun but a little on the short side.''"
|-
|[[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console|VC]]
|Alex Olney, [http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/super_mario_ball_gba Nintendo Life]
|7/10
|"''Super Mario Ball holds its own as an oddball (pun intended) of the Mario spin-off series – a wholly single-player experience with beautiful visuals and an interesting medley of Mario and typical pinball tropes. It's not without its flaws, and the gameplay may cause some to become more frustrated than perhaps is healthy, but the good experiences with this certainly outweigh the bad. Whilst you won't get a tremendous number of hours from it, it's a ten year old game that you can download for 20% of its original price, and that makes this off-the-wall title worth a look for anyone looking for a more challenging romp through the Mushroom Kingdom.''"
