The '''Pinball Block''' is an object in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. It only appears in the level [[Pinball Zone]]. It is a block that guards the door to the next room. It has a digital face that counts down how many '''Pinball Slots''' remain in the room. [[Wario]] must [[Wario Land 4#Wario's Moves|throw]] a [[Pinball]] in each of the four Pinball Slots. They have a mouth which opens and closes on regular intervals, determining whether or not the Pinball will enter the slot. If a Pinball is correctly placed in a Pinball Slot, the slot will disappear and it will drop a [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|Bronze Coin]]. With every Pinball Slot filled, the digital number on the Pinball Block will decrease by one, beginning from four. When it reaches zero, it will flash briefly and disappear, dropping a [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|500 Coin]] and granting access to the door, which will lead to the next room in the Pinball Zone. There are a total of six Pinball Blocks amongst thirteen individual rooms in the level.

A pinball digital counter[1] is an object in Wario Land 4, appearing only in the level Pinball Zone. It is a block with a digital face that prevents access to the next room. The number on the counter indicates how many of the four pinball tulips are left in each room. These tulips must be cleared by throwing the four Chomp balls found throughout the area, with the number on the pinball digital counter decreasing by one each time.

Once all four pinball tulips are filled and cleared, the zero on the pinball digital counter flashes the next time the counter is onscreen. The block then disappears and turns into a Gold Coin worth 500 points, clearing the way to the door to the next room. There is a total of six pinball digital counters in the level.
