''Pinball'' is a game where the player controls the [[Flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s of a virtual pinball machine. The game has three scenes: [[scene A]], [[scene B]], and the [[Bonus Stage (Pinball)|Bonus Stage]]. The goal of the game is to earn [[point]]s in order to achieve a high score.

Gameplay begins when the player launches a ball with the [[striker]] from the bottom of scene B to the top of scene A. Gameplay switches between scene A and scene B depending on where the ball moves. In scene A and scene B, the player controls the flippers on either side of the screen to deflect the ball. If the ball falls off the bottom of scene B, the player loses the ball. If the ball enters the hole in scene B, the Bonus Stage begins.

If the ball falls through the hole in scene B, it enters the Bonus Stage.


In the [[Bonus Stage (Pinball)|Bonus Stage]], the player controls [[Mario]] carrying a platform. Mario must rescue [[Pauline|a lady]] by bouncing the ball off of his platform so it passes through [[bingo lamp]]s, in order to decrease the size of the floor so the lady falls through. Mario must then catch the lady with his platform and bring her safely to one of the exits on either side of the stage. If the ball falls off the bottom of the screen, it is ejected from the [[Hole (Pinball)|hole kicker]] in scene A and the pinball game continues. If Mario allows the lady to fall to the bottom, the player loses their ball and returns to scene B where they must launch a new ball; if the player has no more balls, allowing the lady to hit the bottom results in a [[Game Over]].

''VS. Pinball'' made several changes to the original game in graphics, music, and gameplay. If the player hatches three pink [[chick]]s and the ball falls off the bottom of scene B, a character will appear and return the ball. In the Japanese version, it is a red [[Family BASIC#Sprites|Achilles]] from [[Family BASIC]]. In the international version, it is [[Bubbles (Clu Clu Land)|Bubbles]] from the then-upcoming ''[[nwiki:Clu Clu Land|Clu Clu Land]]''. The hole kicker in scene A has been replaced by another hole. If the ball falls into it, it will be ejected horizontally from the hole in scene B.
