In his new form, Mario is also useful for knocking down enemies, picking up special bonuses, and finding power-ups.… Expand

    By delightfully melding combat and puzzle solving with solid pinball physics, Mario Pinball is not only the first pinball action/adventure game, but it's also a damn good one at that. [Nov 2004, p.130]

    A maddening, misguided mongrel of a game... Luck plays a huge part, and simply navigating the world can be exactly as hard as the hardest challenge: a random, enraging, minutes-long bore, especially with moving enemies straying across your line. [Dec 2005, p.115]

    This is a mildly fun Mario title has great visuals and amusing gameplay. Its not the best pinball game out there though.
