input =Galactic Pinball was a video game for the Virtual Boy. It was a basic
pinball game featuring several different boards.Boards
Galactic Pinball featured four boards, each with distinguishing elements and targets.
ColonyOne of the distinguishing features of the Colony board was a mini-game where the user shot down various
meteors , using the 3-D feature to give the user an interesting perspective of three dimensional shooting.UFOIn UFO, the board initially starts with a large
UFO at the top of the board, which will fly away to reveal triggers that open two holes that players can temporarily get the ball into to access such bonuses as center posts and kickbacks. The max score on this level was 99,999,999 as there was no slot for the 100 million digit. If a player exceeded this score, the game would lock up and require restart.AlienIn Alien, after getting the ball into the Alien's Lair, the alien will appear, and can be hit to gain points.
CosmicCosmic was a classic pinball board that had a third flipper and a ramp that would access a special area with several bumpers. It also had a rotating sphere that the player could try to enter for bonus points.
Samus Aran , protagonist of Nintendo's "Metroid " series, makes a cameo.Trivia
Galactic Pinball is a very common cartridge for Virtual Boy, possibly due to the fact that it is one of the only Virtual Boy games to have a battery-backed save feature, used to save the high score board.
