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!
Brian 16 Dec 2014 10:10
In this game you must use the Save and Quit feature or your entire Adventure save will be gone!
ShadwSonic 3 Nov 2015 19:25
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...
drakeishar 11 Aug 2017 10:34
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.
drakeishar 12 Dec 2017 14:01
The new Toolset is much less crashy, the game is easier to complete now. Thank you.
Shaggy 17 Oct 2018 16:51
This game is actually a lot more fun with achievements still frustrating though lol
CoolCanuck 23 Oct 2018 03:31
C-C-C-Combo!
p4 27 Jan 2019 02:48
Yeah it actually deletes your save if you don't use "save & quit"
MentaRunRun 15 Jul 2021 20:32
Well 200% in 18 hours ( 2 days ), what a marathon, what a hard pinball game !
BennyBurrito 24 Jul 2021 15:23
King Tut Returns was the hardest boss, absolute nightmare! Probably spent 2-3 hours alone on trying do defeat him!
SufferingSloth 28 Dec 2021 08:00
Loved this game as a kid but never beat it. I can see why. Fun set.
Zonlan 22 Aug 2022 09:52
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
tsyque 24 Sep 2022 02:51
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
xtagnado 18 Dec 2022 20:48
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
thunderaquadragon 22 Jan 2023 17:52
Nice pinball game! The physics and the ball saver could do a little tweaking, but it was still a fun experience!
Aidenham 6 Mar 2023 03:11
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!
