In Pinball and VS. Pinball, flippers are used in scene A and scene B to bounce the ball. The player can operate the left flipper with the 
Control Pad and the right flipper with the

The same flippers return in the Pinball microgame in WarioWare Gold that is very strongly based on the NES original. The 
button can no longer be used, but the controls are otherwise the same as in the original.

or

or
