Review Super Mario Ball (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Balls to the wall
It's no secret that Nintendo's iconic red-wearing plumber has had a number of vocations. From referee to painter to kart racer to hotelier, Mario's been through a lot and shows no sign of actually doing some plumbing. Keeping that in mind, let's take a look at a game where he becomes a pinball. Super Mario Ball's plot revolves...

About The Game
Roll up, roll up! See Mario in his most unique guise ever, as a pinball!
In Super Mario Ball, a visit to a fairground sees Princess Peach turned into a ball and kidnapped by Bowser, so the perky plumber clambers into a cannon and shoots after her. Ricochet around the themed levels, consisting of deviously designed pinball tables, and defeat enemies to collect coins and stars. Rack up enough stars to unlock doors to new areas — but you won’t be able to progress until you defeat each boss. So what are you waiting for? Roll to it!

Those are some pretty bada** graphics for GBA.
I have heard that this is the all-time worst Nintendo-published Mario game out there.
This is both my least favorite Mario game and my least favorite pinball game
Yeah this one's not too great. A standard pinball game with a Mario theme would've been so much better.
To be honest, I enjoyed this game.
What I didn't enjoy was the fact that your only saved file was ALWAYS suspend data, never a permanent file.
Let me tell you, working all the way to the final boss and having your nephew load the only save file and then turning it off isn't exactly a happy experience.
I remember the physics not being the best, but it was definitely fun at the time to play.
The physics are not the best but the gameplay is very well designed, with a lot of different challenges, all very well thought-out. Some of them are even added as a way to increase replay-ability (The Red Coins), and overall the game does not grow monotonous, as pinball games usually do.
