Pinball Fall

Pinball Fall is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9.

Introduction
The camera, starting at the bottom of the hill, goes to the top, where the players are standing.

Gameplay
Each player picks a ball out of five which he/she thinks will reach the bottom first. If a ball gets stuck in a hole, that player has to shake the Wii Remote to escape. Along the way, there are also mushrooms and rotating blocks, which the players bounce off of.

Ending
Players run onto a podium in different spots, depending on their ranking. The player who finished last goes to a corner, disappointed.
