The '''Pinball''' is an object that appears in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. The Pinball only appears in the level [[Pinball Zone]], which is the fourth level of the [[Ruby Passage]]. Pinballs have faces on them that resemble those of [[Chain Chomp]]s, with teeth, eyes, and red, blushing cheeks. Four of them appear in every room that holds a Pinball area, and they are used for throwing in little slots to destroy the [[Pinball Block]] that guards the door to the next room. For each Pinball correctly placed, the digital-like number on the Pinball Block will decrease by one. When all Pinballs are thrown into the slots, the Block will read zero. The number will flash rapidly, then the Pinball Block will disappear, dropping a [[500 Coin]], and the door will become accessible, leaving [[Wario]] to procceed to the next room.

A Chomp ball,[1] also known as a pinball,[2] is an object in Wario Land 4. Chomp balls resemble a Chain Chomp's head, and they appear only in the level Pinball Zone in groups of four across six different rooms. In order to make progress, Wario must throw each Chomp ball into one of four pinball tulips. Doing so clears the pinball digital counter and allows the player to move on to the next room.

As the level progresses, the Chomp balls become more out of reach, such as resting on top of high platforms. Wario must occasionally use Chomp balls to break open walls, or use a Smash Attack to roll them into the open pinball tulips. As the game mode becomes more difficult, the player must also avoid more electric sparks while carrying the Chomp balls to the tulips.
