Mario Pinball Land Plus

Mario Pinball Land Plus is a game that is considered a remake of Mario Pinball Land released for the Game Boy Advance.
== Plot ==
The story takes place in an amusement park called the Fun Fair. Mario, some Toads, and Princess Peach are waiting in line to try a ride called the Sky Cannon. To ride it, the rider must be turned into a ball first via the Pinballer, after which they are shot out of the cannon. The Toad who tries it first has fun. As Peach is about to take her turn, two Goombas appear and change the direction the cannon is aiming toward Bowser's castle. Mario then uses the Pinballer to turn into a ball himself to go save Peach.
At the end of the game, Mario confronts Bowser inside his castle. When Bowser is defeated, he is launched out of the castle. Mario and Peach, after returning to normal, are riding the roller coaster
== Differences ==
=== Gameplay changes ===
* The use of motion sensors is added to the use of flippers.
* Luigi is now added as a playable character controlled by the second player.
* Mario now gains a charge attack that allows Mario to attack enemies automatically without even using a flipper.
* Mario now gains the ability to jump, which allows Mario to defeat enemies.
* Checkpoints Flags are added at game stages, with the aim of saving game progress only one time when toucheds.
* Save Blocks are added to the game stages also with the aim of saving game progress. Unlike Checkpoints Flags, Save Block can save game progress as many times as the player desires.
* A health bar is added to the game, allowing Mario to take damage when touched by an enemy. If the health bar runs out, Mario will lose a life. If Mario uses up his entire health bar when he is on his last life, it will be considered Game Over.
** Due to this, Hearts are added to the game with the aim of recovering Mario's health bar. Hearts are usually left by enemies after they are defeated.
* The game's Bosses now gain new attacks, for example:
** Petey Piranha can spit balls of brown goops after taking damage from Mario for the first time. After taking damage for the second time, Petey Piranha will begin spitting balls of brown goops at a faster rate.
** Porcupuffer can spit out Urchins after taking damage from Mario for the first time. After taking damage a second time, Porcupuffer will begin spitting out Urchins at a faster rate.
