The pinball board has two sets of flippers (one pair near the bottom and one closer to the top), five bumpers (a trio of round bumpers at the top and two triangular ones near the flippers), multiple ramps, a [[Clear Pipe]] styled tunnel with coins inside, two gutters, a small screen, and seven light-up spots that spell out "WALUIGI." When spelling out "WALUIGI," one of a few different effects may take place.

The player who recruited Waluigi will start with the Waluigi placing the tokens. If the ball falls into the drain, the player will have to launch the ball again. There is no direct penalty for losing the ball aside from wasting time to shoot the ball back onto the board, and players may relaunch the ball as much as they need to.
If the ball falls into the drain, the player will have to launch the ball again, and any "WALUIGI" letters lit up will become unlit. Players can relaunch the ball as many times as they need to do so.

Waluigi's Pinball Arcade
Minigame
Appears in Super Mario Party Jamboree
Type Showdown minigame
Time limit 180 seconds

Waluigi's Pinball Arcade is a Showdown minigame in Super Mario Party Jamboree. It is centered around Waluigi and is heavily inspired by the Mario Kart DS course Waluigi Pinball, with the aesthetic being similar to that of the Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe versions of the course. Like other Showdown minigames, this minigame cannot be played in the Mario Party mode if Waluigi is an active player character, though he can still be used in this minigame in Minigame Bay modes.

Introduction[edit]

The minigame begins with Waluigi and all the players in an arcade with most of the lights turned off. After Waluigi performs a dance and strikes a pose (similar to his pose in the Sound Stage mode in Super Mario Party), the lights and pinball machines illuminate, whereupon the minigame starts.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

The minigame is a game of pinball themed to Waluigi on a neon city. Players must attempt to get the highest score out of all the opponents within the 180-second time limit.

The pinball board has two sets of flippers (one pair near the bottom and one closer to the top), five bumpers (a trio of round bumpers at the top and two triangular ones near the flippers), multiple ramps, a Clear Pipe-styled tunnel with coins inside, two gutters, a small screen, and seven light-up spots that spell out "WALUIGI." When a player spells out "WALUIGI," one of a few different effects may take place.

Symbol Effect
Radio tower Starts a Multi-ball, launching four extra balls onto the field.
Blooper Causes a Blooper to spawn on every other player's screen and ink them, limiting their visibility, similarly to the Mario Kart item.
Waluigi face Waluigi walks over and places multiple tokens on the field.
Waluigi on a blue background A board with Waluigi's picture rises right above the screen. If the ball passes it, it will add 10 points to the score.
Disco ball A disco ball descends. During the time it is down, the player receives double points for any action they perform.

If the ball falls into the drain, the player will have to launch the ball again, and any "WALUIGI" letters lit up will become unlit. Players can relaunch the ball as many times as they need to do so.

In the Mario Party mode, the player who encountered Waluigi on the board first to trigger the minigame has tokens placed by Waluigi at the start as an advantage.

The player with the most points at the end wins the minigame and receives Waluigi as a Jamboree Buddy.
