Gameplay differences[edit]

Gameplay for VS. Pinball. This version has some unique features like the pink chicks which grant an extra ball if it drops. Bubbles is seen here floating up with wing-like arms. She will transform into the extra ball.
Gameplay of scene B (international version)

VS. Pinball made several changes to the original game in graphics, music, and gameplay. If the player hatches three pink chicks and the ball falls off the bottom of scene B, a character will appear and return the ball. In the Japanese version, it is a red Achilles from Family BASIC. In the international version, it is Bubbles from the then-upcoming Clu Clu Land. The hole kicker in scene A has been replaced by another hole. If the ball falls into it, it will be ejected horizontally from the hole in scene B.
