Overview and Gameplay
Three themed pinball tables drive Super Pinball: Behind the Mask: Jolly Joker, Blackbeard and Ironmen, and Wizard. The game uses a fixed full-table view and focuses on score chasing, target sequences, bonus lanes, and timed table objectives.
Competition Mode is a score contest for alternating players, while Conquest Mode is a solo challenge that asks the player to clear all three tables in order by reaching large score goals and then making a timed exit shot.
Controls And Mechanics
- Left and right flippers control the main shots and saves.
- The launch and nudge actions help start skill shots, redirect the ball, and recover from risky angles.
- Overusing nudge can tilt the table, costing the current ball and bonus.
- Table features include bumpers, drop targets, kickback, shoot-again, extra balls, mystery awards, multiball, jackpots, and bonus multipliers.
- Multiplayer is alternating hot-seat competition, not co-op or simultaneous play.
