The Fun Fair

The Fun Fair is the first level in Mario Pinball Land. It is set on a festival fair, with various attractions such as a haunted house and a roller coaster being present. The only enemies found here are Goombas and Boos. The boss of the stage is Big Boo.

Areas
NOTE: Unless otherwise marked, all names are unofficial.

Starting area
The starting area consists of a circular area surrounded by trees and a roller coaster. Four attractions can be found here: a Sky Cannon used to access other stages and protected by two Goombas, a "test your strength" game where Mario is able to get Yellow Coins or Blue Coins by hitting it at high speeds, the Haunted House (which Mario cannot access unless he has at least one Star), and Toad's tent.

Toad's tent
Toad's tent is accessible via the blue tent in the starting area. Unlike in other shops, Mario can exchange Blue Coins for items or special minigames involving Bullet Bills, Bob-ombs, and Chain Chomps where he can earn Stars.

Boo room
Although inaccessible at the beginning, the Boo room is accessible via the starting area. Four Boos can be found in this area. Defeating them all yields the player a Star.

Big Boo room
The Big Boo room is accessible via the 10-★ door in the Boo room. The boss Big Boo is fought, and when defeated, he leaves behind a Star Key. After Mario brings the Star Key to the Fiery Stage, a Red Switch appears at the center of the room.

Minigames in Toad's tent
In each minigame, the player has 30 seconds to do the objective and is provided with two Yoshi Eggs. If Mario falls down the drain, the minigame ends. If time runs out, the flippers become stunned, forcing Mario to fall down the drain.

Chain Chomp minigame
The player must knock four Chain Chomps back to defeat them. The Chain Chomps constantly move forward, requiring the player to frequently hit them. The harder a Chain Chomp is hit, the farther back it goes. A Chain Chomp might stop moving forward at times. Defeating one grants 5,000 points, and defeating them all yields the player a Star.

Bullet Bill minigame
The player must hit 30 Bullet Bills that are blasted from both sides of the screen. Hitting one grants 500 points. As the minigame progresses, the Bullet Bills move faster. Hitting 30 of them yields the player a Star.

Bob-omb minigame
The player must defeat 10 Bob-ombs. In the center of the area is a Blue Switch, and hitting it while it is blinking makes one of the two cannons shoot a Bob-omb into the area each time. The Bob-ombs walk around, and the player needs to hit them to activate them so they can explode. The player can also hit a blinking Bob-omb to make it explode. Each Bob-omb that explodes grants 2,000 points. Also, a mushroom bumper is near each corner of the area, and hitting one grants 100 points. Defeating 10 Bob-ombs yields the player a Star.

Bonus game
After defeating Bowser in the Fiery Stage, the player gets a chance to play a bonus game in the starting area of the Fun Fair. The objective is to shoot Bob-ombs at the target. The number of Stars collected determines how many points each hit at the target is worth. Normally, each Star adds 10,000 points to the target score, but if all 35 Stars were collected, each hit at the target is worth 500,000 points. The player initially has 10 Bob-ombs, but each life the player has adds 10 more Bob-ombs to the count. Bob-ombs exit Toad's tent one by one, with up to three being onscreen. The player must use the flippers to make the Bob-ombs enter the Sky Cannon before they explode or fall down the drain. When the Sky Cannon returns aboveground, any Bob-ombs in it can be shot at the target. The aiming cursor constantly moves onscreen, requiring the player to time it to hit the target. After the target is hit, the process repeats. Each time the player tries to hit the target, the aiming cursor moves faster. The bonus game ends when the player has no more Bob-ombs to use.

The bonus game is played at night after the player defeats Bowser. If the player has not collected all the Stars and Egg Marks' golden eggs beforehand, they can collect the rest of them during their second gameplay. Afterwards, the player can play the bonus game again, but this time, it happens during the day, and each hit at the target is worth 100,000 points.
