Mario Pinball Land (Game Boy Advance)

I used the (U)(Venom) ROM. Also NOTE: Defeating Bowser locks the door to his fight when you continue on the same file! You can only defeat him once!

In this game you must use the Save and Quit feature or your entire Adventure save will be gone!

Wish I had known that BEFORE I tried being clever! Guess I can just use savestates to get back where I left off, then hard save for Hardcore to work...

RAVBA doesn't like this game, it crashes very often and since you have to Save and Quit to save the file you must start from scratch again and again. It's quite annoying. I wonder if someone would get Pinball Star again in Hardcore Mode.

The new Toolset is much less crashy, the game is easier to complete now. Thank you.

This game is actually a lot more fun with achievements still frustrating though lol

C-C-C-Combo!

Yeah it actually deletes your save if you don't use "save & quit"

Well 200% in 18 hours ( 2 days ), what a marathon, what a hard pinball game !

King Tut Returns was the hardest boss, absolute nightmare! Probably spent 2-3 hours alone on trying do defeat him!

Loved this game as a kid but never beat it. I can see why. Fun set.

didn't quite remember why i hated and, paradoxically, spent so much time playing this game back in the day- oh that's why. At least the set rewards every little victory, for every star is a goddamn challenge

This game crushes you

FlamingDoom 16 Dec 2022 00:52

I don't get how this has more than 1 star

Zonlan 16 Dec 2022 13:21

lmao I hate every pinball game I touch except pokemon pinball R&S, you may want to try that one out

My entire save still vanishing... i've did it 3 times... "save & exit", saves ok... tried a 2nd time and the save vanished... i don't know why to solve it... still frustrating

Mastered. Was a nice and funny set :3

Nice pinball game! The physics and the ball saver could do a little tweaking, but it was still a fun experience!

What a hidden gem! I wish I had this game when I was a kid. Then again, I probably wouldn’t be able to get very far. Thanks for the set, the achievements make it even more fun!
