Mario Pinball Land is coming to Europe with a new name in November. JOIN MARIO AS HE BOUNCES INTO EUROPE IN SUPER MARIO BALL
18th August 2004 - Get ready to roll through Mushroom Kingdom in this latest Mario game from Nintendo – with a twist! Super Mario Ball is a fusion of both a pinball and an adventure game, and sees Mario transformed into a ball. Steamrolling through enemies, defeating Boss characters, winning new power ups and much much more are all in store for Mario fans everywhere. Super Mario Ball for the Game Boy Advance launches across Europe on 26th November 2004.
The new adventure sees Mario enter a new and exciting pinball world, his aim to capture his beloved Princess Peach – kidnapped by Bowser and taken to this other dimension. A scientist uses his ‘Spherifier’ machine to transform Mario into a ball and fire him off to destroy the fiend and save his love. Mario then enters the arena in which all the action commences, combining both adventuring and pinball together!
Players can choose their very own path through the varied environments of the Mushroom Kingdom, fighting off familiar enemies and collecting coins as they go. Each of the many environments, which range from a fairground to the countryside, have there own specific enemies for players to defeat and different features to explore. Players will encounter many all time classic Mario power-ups along the way, including the Super Mushroom, 1-Up Mushroom, Invincibility Star and Lightning Bolt. In true pinball style, the more enemies players fight off in quick succession, the more high scores they will amass.
Players can control Mario through a set of flippers that appear at the bottom of each arena. Each arena takes up a single screen but by flipping Mario into certain doorways players can open special exits leading them straight to a new Boss. Make sure Mario doesn’t fall through the flippers though, as this will send him backwards in the game or even to his defeat.
Super Mario Ball launches across Europe on 26th November 2004 at the estimated retail price of around 40 Euros.
