Mario Bowl

Mario Bowl (Japanese: マリオボウル, Mario Bōru) is a Japan-exclusive, Mario-themed scorekeeping software for bowling alleys made by and based on Super Mario World. As an automatic scorer, it keeps track of scores for up to 6 players, each being assigned a character based on their turn order (from first to sixth: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser and Toad).

During a game, the software can cycle through three different backgrounds, with a Yoshi's Island 4-inspired stage being the default one. If a player's ball falls in the gutter twice in a row, the background changes into a lava stage and if a player makes two or  in a row, the background changes into a castle stage. The upper part of the screen shows all six characters walking in line, with their order representing the current ranking of their respective players. A spare is accompanied by artwork of Mario snapping his fingers while saying "Nice!" and Yoshi drawing a diagonal line across the screen. A strike is accompanied by artwork of Mario commemorating as his ball knocks over several bowling pins. In the end of a game, a final ranking screen would show the top three characters on a podium.
