Mario didn’t have to become a ball in this game. He’s not cursed, this isn’t a strange land that he needs to be a ball to maneuver through, he’s just choosing to make this harder for himself.
He’s had so many adventures to stop Bowser, he was just like “Y’know what? Let’s make this more interesting.” And then just casually becomes s p h e r i c a l
This is one of the only Mario games I’ve actually played and more importantly completed. I don’t think I’ve ever heard another person even mention this game before which is sad because I played so much of it as a kid. Notably, I actually did not understand the mechanics at all, I made it through with pure dedication to the art of ballin’
same, I actually remember beating this game while I was supposed to be going to sleep but was hiding under my blanket as a kid, I think I spend about a hour just trying to beat bowser till I got to the final phase and just the moment you realize its not over yet you just kind of panic and try to figure out what the game wants lol
Hell yeah, Shin Megami Tensei Pinball: Judgment!! The 2006 pinball spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for flip phones that is currently lost media! 🥴
@@ArshadZahid_nohandleideas Unironically, I’ve accidentally never heard about that till now. This sounds really cool though, so thank you for teaching me something new today!! I can’t believe Atlus had not one, but two different phone games based on one of their franchises that came out in the 2000s and is now considered lost media.
The Pinball sub game in Kirby Mass Attack was unironically superior to the actual Kirby’s Pinball Land game from the 90’s on the Game Boy. I’m actually sad they never made a Deluxe version like they did with the Sub Games of Triple Deluxe.
This seems like the kind of game where you constantly feel like you must be missing some sort of important mechanic, but eventually you realize even if there was it wouldn't help because it's just that janky
Sonic Pinball? Yeah that makes sense. Kirby Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense. Pokémon Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense. Mario Pinball? What were they thinking?
I decided to race this game with a friend after watching Jo play. I gained a significant lead through most of the game... but then I hit Bowser. I could not do it. I blew a thirty minute lead because that final boss is the most tilting thing I have ever experienced.
I will never forget finding my old cartridge after a long absence, loading it up and pressing continue. ...and finding myself infront of the final boss room. And watching helplessly as Mario immediately falls. Straight down. Room after room, after room, after room. All the way back. Fumbled trying to get back up, and because I had no lives left when I last stopped playing, I got sent back to the start of the game. I threw my Gameboy to the side and put my head in my hands and cried. It had undone so much progress my child self had accomplished. It happened so fast. Worst game over of my life.
@@Ramonatho If you saved and quit, the game effectively pauses where you were, and drops you in the middle of the room with no momentum when you return. Bumper or not.
After watching this game on Good, I also thought “oh this looks fun. Why is Jo stressing?”. I played it all the way through and I would like to apologize to Jo for thinking he was anything other than a gamer with Ghandi like patience
Jo is watching and cackling to himself in pleasure that you have to deal with this god forsaken game as well. I sat though all the Plus/Deluxe/Gold videos just for him to give up on the finally boss and I respect him for it.
I can’t in good conscience call this game bad. The presentation is slick as hell with AMAZING art and 3D work on GBA, almost every song is a banger (the boss themes are great, Under The Ice is a classic, and it’s helped by the songs that sample Hooked On A Feeling and Culex’s theme, and even the Yoshi bonus theme that sounds like Darkness Of The Unknown?!), and once you ARE able to land your shots, everything you do feels like a dopamine shot straight into the brainstem. That said, this IS a ragegame. I played it as a kid, and although I did eventually beat it, it put me through HELL. Beware.
It wouldn't necessarily save the game. But it's really funny how if the game simply remembered the progress of whatever screen you were in last, that would've massively cut down on how infuriating it is to play, lol. Like that one single mechanic is pretty much responsible for all of it's issues.
God, I remember playing this game as a kid. I had no clue what was going on. Never got anywhere in it. I never saw it anywhere. It always just felt like a fever dream.
How many people remember the toy ball of Mario rolled up just like this....? Now how many remember the Sonic one? How many smacked them together? Stop smacking your balls together.
I remember this game and i was never able to beat it. Young me thought it was made to be impossible with the final boss area always sending Mario perfectly down the middle after the first hit.
I nearly beat the game, had it glitch the fuck out on me and crash, and lost all my progress. Learned that day I couldn’t return opened games to Meijer’s, because they had no proof it was broken. Core memory, there. 😒
So funny story I have with this game. When I got this game for Christmas and went to open the box the cartridge wasn't in the box. My mom had to drive all the way back to where she got the game and told them what happened. I did get the game with the cartridge so they probably gave her another copy for free.
I have owned this game for years but only tried to beat it today. My playthrough took 6 and a half hours and 5 of those hours was just the final Bowser fight 😅
So glad I DIDNT grow up with game it looks like absolute HELL Which is why I'm happy the nintendo Pinball game I grew up with was Ruby/Sapphire Pinball
This was my 3rd game I got when I was a kid, after Super Mario World 2 and Pokemon Leaf Green. And I recently replayed it like 2 weeks ago because I randomly remembered it again. I have no idea how I played it as much as I did when I was younger, this game is brutal XD . Glad to see Alpharad giving it a go as well :D
I don't remember how or why I got this game as a kid but I do remember that I hated it immediately and went back to playing something else without a second thought
I remember I used to have a Mario pinball BALL as a kid. It was like a plastic ball that was just Mario all round. I loved that ball. I never could play Mario pinball though. I feel like I saw it on the computer but my computer was always too slow to actually play it… or that was not Mario pinball and a malware website. Anybody else know about that Mario ball? NO WAIT! I GOT IT IN A HAPPY MEAL I THINK

Mario just saw Kirby and sonic doing it and got jealous
Just like Kirby in 60% or Kirby spin-offs
He was feeling freaky that day
Toad and Peach made it look like so much fun tho
I finally figured out why Mc.Donalds had a Mario ball as one of its toys
Oh snap I had like 3 of those!
Bowser making you go back 2 screens is mean as hell actually
Its a rarity to see jacob actually tilted in a game
me when im a ball. an orb. a sphere, if you will
they will never be ballin
i WONT
me when i am rotund
“babe, when you come back you better not be a ball. an orb. a sphere, if you will!”
my ass:
So true queen

if your favorite popular game series doesn't have its own pinball spinoff, is it really that good of a series?
Hell yeah, Shin Megami Tensei Pinball: Judgment!! The 2006 pinball spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for flip phones that is currently lost media! 🥴
Why Devil May Cry don't have one?
Metroid Prime Pinball

This video would be better if Under the Ice was the only background music
"It's like if you were playing a Mario game and then every 20 seconds your ability to run and jump was just taken away!"
Things that stun you:
Yeah, but imagine that, but it can stun you in the air... huh, I wonder how that would play like...
yeah, I guess the better analogy would be if Bowser broke Mario's kneecaps with a crowbar every 20 seconds
Looks like you can stop him from doing the stun move by hitting him, at least... not that that makes it all that much better.
Sonic Pinball? Yeah that makes sense.
Kirby Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense.
Pokémon Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense.
Mario Pinball? What were they thinking?
According to Jan Misali (and me) this is technically a 2D platformer
No it's a 3D Platformer with 2D space (without gravity plane) and 1D time
Is it mainline series of Super Mario?
thanks to jan Misali for introducing me to the existence of this and the fact that it was called "Super Mario Ball" which is funnier than it should be
@@mslabo102s2 technically all platformers are on the imaginary 2D space of a screen and are running within 1D time
@mslabo102s2 so just 2.5D like the new-wonder mario platformers
What if you wanted to go to heaven but God said “You must beat Mario Pinball”
Somehow despite most maps being more simplistic than regular pinball they're infinitely more painful
That's because this game has non-euclidian ball physics
I feel like this is the perfect context in which to use the term "tilted"

He learns jacob is playing pinblall land and his first rwavtuon is
im sorry

"This is like a Mario game but every 20 seconds Bowser takes your ability to run and jump."
I think i just watched that Fir video recently.
Didn’t know this game reused so many Sunshine sound effects lol
this game
is a great example
as to why quality control
is a necessary thing
I will never forget finding my old cartridge after a long absence, loading it up and pressing continue. ...and finding myself infront of the final boss room.
And watching helplessly as Mario immediately falls.
Straight down.
Room after room, after room, after room.
All the way back. Fumbled trying to get back up, and because I had no lives left when I last stopped playing, I got sent back to the start of the game.
I threw my Gameboy to the side and put my head in my hands and cried. It had undone so much progress my child self had accomplished. It happened so fast.
Worst game over of my life.
Sometimes treasure should stay buried.
This game doesn't have save states though?
@@Ramonatho dang I wanted to believe someone didn't lie on the Internet.
@@Ramonatho If you saved and quit, the game effectively pauses where you were, and drops you in the middle of the room with no momentum when you return. Bumper or not.
@@Multi-Waves_Music I didn't lie. You can literally save/quit. But getting a game over sends you to the beginning. It's basically permadeath.
RIP Alpharad Gold
Plusies unite!!
@@newbielongboarder Thanks for sharing!
@@selznickselznick grrrrrrr
Thats a hit

28:40 bro has NOT played Sonic Spinball.

Yooooo the return of Mario but Ball!
I wish Jo were here to see this!
Edit: @24:16 Hi Jo :)
The blorbs! Quick get the star cures! Curse you Fawful!
I want to see his played at events or something holy shit
I hope whoever made this game knows life is worth living and they don't need to bring pain to others to relieve their own.

this video would be even better if the music track “under the ice” played throughout the entire video

tbh it wouldn't be too bad if your blue pipe only went away if it's hit like normal pinball. there's no titls so everything is outta your hands
noone else has gotten so much content out of this game as you
For whatever reason this has become one of my comfort videos
2:23 the piranha plant screaming tho
Jacob: “its gonna be smooth sailing i promise”
Narrator: little did he know, it was gonna be anything but smooth
Some say that both God and Satan reached out to Nintendo to help them design Hell and this is what came of it
As a guy who's played pinball games before, I can confirm that this is the worst Mario game.
This is the first Open World Pinball oriented game i have ever seen, and probably the only one lmao
I would save state the HELL out of this game. I don’t care if that’s bad content.
that moment when the pinball table tilts _you_
"They expect some Tommy shit" didnt know Jacob was cultured like that
the bowser bossfight is basically any bossfight but the boss door isn't closed
Super Mario Balls???? Don't mind if I do!
Alternative title: Jacob Alpharad gets real life mad at Mario
Just Alpharad, pondering his orb as per usual.
9:15 Bro is spittin’.
19:02 the golden ending
I can feel his pain right now.
The Red coin Song is so GOOFY I LOVE IT❤
The amount of reused sound effects in this game drive me crazy lol
God, I remember playing this game as a kid. I had no clue what was going on. Never got anywhere in it. I never saw it anywhere. It always just felt like a fever dream.
Right off the bat, I'm loving the Sunshine sound effects
How many people remember the toy ball of Mario rolled up just like this....?
Now how many remember the Sonic one?
How many smacked them together?
Stop smacking your balls together.
Imagine if this game got the "Mario VS Donkey Kong remake" treatment
Had this game as a very young child. Basically just RNG.
I remember this game and i was never able to beat it. Young me thought it was made to be impossible with the final boss area always sending Mario perfectly down the middle after the first hit.
I nearly beat the game, had it glitch the fuck out on me and crash, and lost all my progress.
Learned that day I couldn’t return opened games to Meijer’s, because they had no proof it was broken. Core memory, there. 😒
This is what i imagine hell must be like
Honestly, a tournament of this game would go hard af
Where's Jo at
24:17 There's Jo at
This was one of the funniest god damn streams I've ever seen.
16:01 "hehe, one."
So funny story I have with this game. When I got this game for Christmas and went to open the box the cartridge wasn't in the box. My mom had to drive all the way back to where she got the game and told them what happened. I did get the game with the cartridge so they probably gave her another copy for free.
The pinball game is 'tilting', who'd have thought
Finally justice for Jo!
As a kid this game was my absolute nemesis.
i shit you not this was my first video game ever THANK GOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SO LONG
I also broke my mf gameboy on the water lvl no shit
I have owned this game for years but only tried to beat it today.
My playthrough took 6 and a half hours and 5 of those hours was just the final Bowser fight 😅
I actually used to have a ball that looked like cursed Mario
I haven't seen it for years, but I feel it's gaze...
So glad I DIDNT grow up with game it looks like absolute HELL
Which is why I'm happy the nintendo Pinball game I grew up with was Ruby/Sapphire Pinball

Ahh, this game brings back memories. Not GOOD memories. But memories.
This basically has the same concept as Kirby Pinball where you keep going up the stage or down.
Watching this from Under the ice
And Jacob has experienced the sum cost fallacy once again
I feel so vindicated for never being able to beat this game as a kid
Take it from a pinball player in real life: ACTUAL pinball is nowhere near this difficult.
For one, you can Actually Nudge in real pinball!
The "Getting over it" comparison is very appropriate
I don't remember how or why I got this game as a kid but I do remember that I hated it immediately and went back to playing something else without a second thought
With the exception of the hard final boss and the not so good saving system, this game wasn't that bad.
This game. This is the hardest game I've ever owned. This isn't the dark souls of pinball. Dark souls is the action adventure version of this.
That fish boss is the worst, it was the only one I couldn't beat as a kid
I think I found my new favorite video, I ompletely forgot this game existed and how difficult it was lmao
legend says jo and alpharad still haven't talked to each other again
_Man plays with balls to pay his bills_
I want a 100% playthrough
I'm surprised this didn't become a main channel video ngl
I saw the achievements for this game on RA, the lack of masters...I noped out of the idea dawg. Now I see why
I actually can’t tell if Jo was actually mad at him. But regardless…F’s in the chat for both Alpha and Jo
Damn I remember playing this game but was so young I had no clue what I was doing
Suddenly I'm glad my parents didn't buy this for me as a kid
At least Sonic Spinball felt fair.
I remember I used to have a Mario pinball BALL as a kid. It was like a plastic ball that was just Mario all round. I loved that ball. I never could play Mario pinball though.

NO WAIT! I GOT IT IN A HAPPY MEAL I THINK
alpha's not ok
I loved this game as a kid, though I've always loved pinball
My mom was obsessed with this game when i was little. That and the gba frogger
This game would be better if levels were designed more like pinball
This is harder than the Lost Levels
