Pinball Fall

Pinball Fall is another fun and simple game of luck. Players who participate in this wacky event stand atop a tall hill, and each one chooses a ball.

The balls are then sent tumbling down the hill, and the first one to reach the bottom wins this crazy race!

Take a good look at the hill as the camera pans up toward the players at the start of the game.

Try to spy potential trouble areas, such as large clusters of mushrooms, big spinning blocks, and shallow holes that your ball might fall into.

The idea is to send your ball rolling down the path of least resistance, so pick a ball that doesn’t seem like it will veer off and hit too many obstacles.

Chance plays a big role in determining how well your orb will tumble. Balls will bounce off of mushrooms and blocks, causing them to take an unpredictable route down the hill.

They’ll also become stuck inside of those shallow holes if they roll over them—be ready to frantically shake your Wii Remote to free your ball whenever it becomes stuck!

Of all the hazards your ball might hit, those holes are usually the worst. Pick a ball whose path seems least likely to send it tumbling toward too many holes, and see if your luck is rolling high!
