Mario Pinball Land is exactly what it sounds like—Mario, but he's a ball. You flick him around pinball tables filled with classic Mushroom Kingdom stuff: warp pipes, Goombas, even Bowser lurking in the background. It’s weirdly satisfying to bounce him off bumpers and watch him ricochet into a row of coins.

The tables get surprisingly tricky, with little puzzles and hidden paths. I kept getting stuck on the desert level because I kept missing one stupid switch. The physics feel a little floaty at first, but you get used to it after a few rounds. And yeah, the music’s got that classic Mario charm—peppy and repetitive in the best way.

It’s not the deepest pinball game out there, but if you want something silly and nostalgic, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you start hearing pinball sound effects in your sleep.
