Product Description

When Bowser kidnaps Peach and escapes to another dimension, a scientist uses his Spherifier to transform Mario into a ball and fires him after the fiend. Lightning-fast action, crazy pinball worlds and Mario. What's not to love? It's just a pinball game, right? Hardly. It's a flipping adventure. Mario rolls through different worlds. Instead of performing his signature jump on enemies, Mario just steamrolls them in ball form. Each pinball arena contains a door to the next level. You must shoot Mario into the door to open it and then shoot him through the door to advance to the next level. Of course, all your favorite baddies from the Mario universe stand in the way of Mario and the door.

This is a marvelous game for those of us (I'm 75) who never had video games as a child.....
The Game Boy Advance little Nintendo - very portable in a pocket - player uses this cartridge,

The cartridge was one of the very best of games in most respects. I never tire of working it to the very top and then starting over,
It requires skill and trial-by-error knowledge by those of us who do not regard cheat sheets as ethical(!)

Thanks for having vendors who can still supply these. The stores no longer carry them, did you know?

Love this game. I am addicted and I get upset when I can't get a stage cleared. Applying the challenge of collecting stars and beating bosses to the game of pinball is simple genius. Great buy and keeps you occupied. It may sound easy to play pinball but not when your playing Mario Pinball.

How do I even describe it? If you love pinball, Mario games, Gameboy advance, hitting goombas & koopa turtles. Get this game immediately. The best graphics, worlds, & bosses you'll also ever see on the gba ever. I will admit, it can be fustrating , long , challenging, & will take up most of your time but in the end, I think you will be very happy & satisfied you got this game , but that's only my opinion, if you've played this game before you know what I'm talking about. ok goodbye you guys, have fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mario's unstable pinball expedition
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2015

Believe it or not, Mario is no stranger to pinball tables, but there has never been a pinball video game starring the plucky plumber. Well, the good news is that there was a development team that realized this, and has put this out for the good ol' Game Boy Advance. Unfortunately, the team might have been too small to work with such a big Nintendo property. While Mario Pinball Land/Super Mario Ball does hold a lot of promise, the problems are few yet incredibly major.

The game mashes up the pinball style of play with a Super Mario 64 structure; collect Power Stars by slinging Mario as a ball into enemies and grabbing keys by defeating bosses. On paper, the concept is really good. However, here's the major flaw: Navigation. In order to get anywhere, you must use the flippers to fling Mario to doors and paths, which is EASIER SAID THAN DONE. It's not like in any Mario platformer where you can just move him with the analog stick to that door. Oh, no. Here, you have to hope Mario rolls down to the direction the door's located! There are numerous instances where Mario would hit the door open, but then constantly miss the opened path. Or maybe Mario would hit something else by accident and trigger more frustration. He could hit paths that I don't want to go to. And this problem is worsened during missions where you must hit enemies in specific ways (such as hitting snakes before they go the manhole in the middle, or hitting Shy Guys to change their color - all Shy Guys onscreen must be the same color)! Heck, maybe the problem wouldn't be as jarringly apparent if the pinball physics were completely accurate. But they aren't; they are surprisingly unreliable for a Nintendo-published game.

It's not like no one made an effort to make this game good, though. There is a lot of positive weight to this, too; the music is appropriately catchy and has the typical repetitions of a Mario soundtrack, and the graphics are actually some of the best the Game Boy Advance has to offer. The pinball mechanics also do have their merits, since it IS, well, pinball, and you could even use a few items to help a little. It's just a big shame the physics haven't been tweaked up enough and navigation isn't any easier. The bosses justify this even further, especially Bowser. You just had to hit them a few times and they're dead, but Mario's bound not to hit them when you need him to.

Pinball und Mario, kann das klappen? Na ja… „Super Mario Ball“ (im Englischen „Mario Pinball Land“) erschien 2004 für den Game Boy Advance und brachte zum ersten (und letzten) mal das Pinball-Genre ins Mario-Universum. Kritiken waren gemischt, aber das Spiel sah spannend und grafisch top aus, also versuchte ich es mal. Das Ergebnis ist leider durchwachsen…

Die Story (wer hätte es gedacht) nichts anderes als Poesie: Peach wird wieder mal von Bowser gekidnappt. Nur diesmal gibt es einen besonderen Twist: Alle sind Bälle in einem Pinballtisch…

Sehr einfallsreich, ohne Zweifel. Doch die Idee hat ihre Stärken. „Super Mario Ball“ punktet in erster Linie mit einer fantastischen Grafik. Unter Game Boy Advance-Spielen sicherlich eins der optisch besten. Die lustige Musik passt gut zum Geschehen, kann einen nach der Zeit aber auch gehörig auf die Nerven gehen.

Doch kommen wir zum Gameplay, dem Kern des Spiels. Die Idee Mario mit Pinball zu verbinden hat seine spannenden Momente. Dadurch, dass die Tische recht simple gehalten sind, hab ich mich auch nicht überfordert gefühlt, wie es sonst bei mir mit Pinball ist. Da ist mir auf dem Tisch zu viel los. Hier jedoch gibt es verschiedene Abschnitte, die alle ihre Gegner und Elemente haben, aber genügend Freiraum geben, um sich in Ruhe auszutoben. Gerade zu Beginn ist es schön erst mal herauszufinden, wie das Ganze so funktioniert. Und es ist nicht groß anders als zu echten Pinball-Spielen, welche Überraschung. Hier jedoch geht es oftmals darum die Gegner auszuschalten, um einen Stern zu ergattern. Den gibt es im Prinzip in jedem neuen Raum. Das wird von Mal zu Mal schwieriger und besonders die Endbosse brauchen einige Anläufe. Zusätzlich gibt es aber auch Münzen zu sammeln, sowie Items, die das Spielgeschehen erleichtern. Mit den gesammelten Münzen kann man in den Toad-Shops auch spezielle Items dazu kaufen. Das macht das Spielgeschehen sehr abwechslungsreich und nimmt ihm die Eintönigkeit.

Das Problem bei der ganzen Sache: Man hat nahezu keine Kontrolle über Mario. Klar kann man die Pins zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten anschlagen, aber so wie man sich das vorstellt, klappt das nur selten. Und so passiert es dann oft, dass man einen Endboss immer und immer wieder spielen muss, nur weil man einfach nicht den richtigen Schalter oder Angriffspunkt trifft. Und fällt man dann zufällig zurück zum Anfang des Levels, dann braucht es oftmals eine Weile, bis man wieder zum Boss kommt. Für manche ist das eine schöne Herausforderung, mich hat es schnell genervt. Besonders bei Bowser hatte ich dann auch keine Geduld mehr dafür. Für mich fühlt sich ein Bosskampf wie Bowser dann nach purer Zeitverschwendung an, denn ich weiß, was ich machen muss, ich weiß, wie ich den Kollegen besiegen kann, aber ich muss einfach drauf hoffen, dass der dämliche Mario-Ball irgendwann mal in die richtige Richtung fliegt… Für mich liegt es in erster Linie daran, dass die Pins immer voll angeschlagen werden. Man kann (verständlicherweise) nicht mit Gefühl arbeiten und den Ball zum Beispiel „fangen“, um ihn später kontrolliert wegschießen zu können. Das liegt einfach an der Limitierung des GBA, trotzdem raubt es dem Spiel viel Qualität.

„Super Mario Ball“ bietet vier verschiedene Level mit Bossen und dazu eine fünfte finale Welt, in der Bowser wartet. Vom Umfang her also ganz ok, wobei mehr natürlich schön gewesen wäre.

Fazit: Eine hübsche und stellenweise unterhaltsame Idee, die aber an der Steuerung scheitert. Pinball-Fans dürften wahrscheinlich eher Spaß an der Geschichte haben, wobei das Spiel recht wenig Anspruch in der Hinsicht bietet. Wie dem auch sei: Ein nettes und optisch schickes Spiel, bei dem allerdings einfach mehr drin gewesen wäre...
