The story takes place in an amusement park called [[the Fun Fair]]. [[Mario]], some [[Toad (species)|Toads]], and [[Princess Peach]] are waiting in line to try a ride called the [[Sky Cannon]]. To ride it, the rider must be turned into a ball first via the [[Pinballer]], after which they are shot out of the cannon. The Toad who tries it first has fun. As Peach is about to take her turn, two [[Goomba]]s appear and change the direction the cannon is aiming toward [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]]. Mario then uses the Pinballer to turn into a ball himself to go save Peach. | The story takes place in an amusement park called [[the Fun Fair]].

''Mario Pinball Land'' is a pinball game featuring elements of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. The player controls Mario, who takes on the shape and is used as a pinball. The left and right [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s are used to hit Mario. He can earn [[point]]s by hitting objects and enemies. There are five stages, each separated into a few areas, and they can be traveled to via the Sky Cannon. If Mario falls down the drain between the flippers at the bottom of a stage, he loses a life. At first, when Mario starts an area, there is a blue [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]] in between the two flippers to protect him from falling down. After a certain amount of time, the Pipe disappears.

Every stage (except the Fun Fair) has a few paths, each obstructed by a door that requires a number of [[Power Star|Star]]s to open, like in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Once the door is open, Mario can take the path and continue to the next area. If Mario falls down the drain in a following area, he returns to the previous area, where the enemies and objects are reset. In a few cases, falling down the drain in a following area sends him back two areas. | ||
Whenever Mario defeats an enemy, it drops a [[coin]], although if it is part of a streak (done by defeating more than one enemy before touching the bottom of the screen), the enemy instead drops a [[Blue Coin]]. If [[Toad]] appears, Mario can hit him to enter [[Toad's tent|his tent]], where Toad offers a few items for sale. Mario can buy only one item with the coins he has collected. After he does so, the item he bought is displayed at the bottom right corner of the screen up until he uses it. Mario can also obtain items from a [[? Block]]. Blue Coins can be spent only in the blue tent in the Fun Fair, and they are used to access three different challenges. | Whenever Mario defeats an enemy, it drops a [[coin]], although if it is part of a streak (done by defeating more than one enemy before touching the bottom of the screen), the enemy instead drops a [[Blue Coin]].
