Turning Mario into a pinball and launching him through a world packed with enemies, bonuses and themed boards: the idea is as preposterous as it is addictive. Aiming for the ramps, triggering objectives and exploring each zone delivers a snappy, colourful joy. Original, brisk and packed with nods, a pinball-adventure that grabs you at once.
