The developers of Metroid Prime Pinball, a game which takes advantage of both screens, resolved this problem by placing a second set of pinball flippers at the bottom of the upper screen to give players a reference to work with.

While making Metroid Prime Hunters, a Metroid first-person shooter video game for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe came up with the idea to make a pinball game based on the Metroid series as Fuse Games finished Mario Pinball Land, another pinball simulator based on a Nintendo property. The mode uses a seventh table, Magmoor Caverns, that does not appear in the single-player mode. In addition to the single-player mode, the game features a multiplayer mode, which requires only one copy of the game and allows up to eight players to compete in a race to reach a target score. The Pirate Frigate and Tallon Overworld boards challenge players to earn a high point score, as in real pinball on the other tables players are ranked by the time taken to complete a mission. The game also features a "Single Mission" mode which confines players to a single board. After the player defeats the Metroid Prime creature on the Impact Crater table, the game unlocks a higher difficulty level, Expert mode. Upon completing the Artifact Temple, access is granted to the final table, Impact Crater. If all of the balls are lost, the table ends the player does not lose any of the twelve Artifacts already collected but is forced to revisit another table and complete it before being allowed a second attempt at the Artifact Temple. To complete the table, twelve different targets must be hit with the balls while they are bombarded by attacks from Meta Ridley, one of the antagonists of the Metroid Prime series. Once having acquired twelve Artifacts, the player is granted access to a table called the Artifact Temple, which places six balls on the table at the same time. In either table, the player must battle a boss to complete it.ĭuring the course of the game, the player must acquire twelve Artifacts, which are prizes that are awarded after completing objectives such as winning minigames or beating bosses. After playing either of the first two tables, the player unlocks two more tables: Phendrana Drifts and Phazon Mines.

Only two tables are initially available for play: Pirate Frigate and Tallon Overworld. Each table is shown across both screens of the Nintendo DS. The game consists of six pinball tables, each inspired by a different area of Metroid Prime.

The Nintendo DS's touchscreen can be used to nudge the pinball table and alter the ball's trajectory. In addition, new mechanics are introduced, such as enemies that wander around the table, wall jumping, and the ability to fire weapons. Metroid Prime Pinball uses the basic mechanics of pinball, complete with an assortment of typical pinball items including flippers, spinners, bumpers, and ramps.
