The Pinballer[1] is a blue-and-yellow machine that can transform a character into a ball form in Mario Pinball Land. The machine has two yellow halves of a sphere that squeeze a character into a ball. It also has a gray platform that can extend upwards to move the character. The Pinballer appears only in the opening cutscene, after the player starts the game, and after they lose a life.
After a Toad gets transformed into a ball and shot out of the Sky Cannon, Princess Peach gets transformed into a ball and enters the cannon as well, but she gets blasted to Bowser's castle by two Goombas. Mario then enters the machine in order to save the princess.
