Editing Talk:Pinball (game)

== Alleyway ==
If this game gets an article, what about the Game Boy game ''[[wikipedia:Alleyway|Alleyway]]''? Mario steers the ship the player controls, and there are several ''Mario''-themed [http://www.nindb.net/alleyway.html puzzles]. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 14:55, 30 December 2009 (EST)

== Regional differences in ''VS. Pinball'' ==
I'm not sure if anyone else has done the research on this topic so I'll post it here. There are two versions for the VS. System, one for Japan and another for the rest of the world. The Japanese version will have the copyright of "Nintendo Co., Ltd.", while the international version will simply say "Nintendo". The character that returns the extra ball is different. In the Japanese version it is Achilles from [[Family BASIC]], but in the international version it is Bubbles from Clu Clu Land. Arcade Archives chose the Japanese version for their release. Here are some videos:

-:The Bonus Stage BGM is different in each version. Also, the international version has an exclusive sound effect for the slot windows when they are rotating (11:34 in the first video). <br>--[[User:PhGuy12|PhGuy12]] ([[User talk:PhGuy12|talk]]) 17:04, August 25, 2022 (EDT)
-== Remove identifier? ==
-{{Talk}}
-I'd say that the identifier is mostly useless. The only other pages that actually use the name "Pinball" are the microgames based on this game. The rest are just alternative names. Shouldn't we move this to "''Pinball''" and moved "[[Pinball]]" to "Pinball (disambiguation)"? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 14:32, October 12, 2024 (EDT)
-:Fair enough. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:55, October 12, 2024 (EDT)
-::Should I just move this then? I don't see any reason why I shouldn't. {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 15:20, October 15, 2024 (EDT)
-:::I'd kinda look at the importance of "alternative names" on a case-by-case basis, particularly [[metal ball]] in this case. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:10, October 19, 2024 (EDT)
-::::Personally, I believe ''[[Baseball]]'' not having an identifier over this is a bigger stretch. {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 5:56, October 20, 2024 (EDT)
-== Full coverage ==
-Why does this game have full coverage, exactly? Mario and Pauline only appear in one bonus room, which means they are both guest appearances. That means only the game itself should get an article, right? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 08:16, December 1, 2024 (EDT)
-:Because it was decreed so in a proposal. This one, to be specific: [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/58#Pinball (1984): full coverage or guest appearance?]] [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 08:27, December 1, 2024 (EST)
