—Pinball Star
**Pinball Star** is a fan character designed by TheAgent41. Pinball Star resides in the *Plants vs. Zombies* universe.

Once a miserable teenager working as a prize counter cashier at a third-rate pizza restaurant/arcade, Keith was transformed into a member of the undead by Dr. Zomboss. Taking on the nickname of "Pinball Star" after his only claim to fame (an incredibly high score on the restaurant's pinball cabinet), he devoted the rest of his life to taking down Crazy Dave's plant brigade. Not for any real personal reason, mind you; he's just too stupid and/or obedient to do otherwise.

## Biography

Pinball Star (real name "Keith") was once a hapless, miserable cashier at the prize counter at the shady, low-budget pizza joint *Charl E. Cheese*, where he absolutely hated his job. The only claim to fame he had in his lowly life was the knowledge that he had the high score on the restaurant's pinball machine. Once Dr. Zomboss and his army of the undead rolled into Suburbia, however, he was transformed into a brain-craving member of the zombie army. Unwilling to part with his beloved pinball machine, Pinball Star had the Engineer zombie tinker with it and transform it into a handheld minigun-like weapon.

## Appearance

Pinball Star is a 6-foot zombie with green skin, no nose, and large eyes that are crossed the majority of the time. His outfit usually consists of a white, collared uniform shirt with red sleeves and a nametag reading "Hello, My Name is Keith". His shorts are colored with vertical stripes that alternate in a light shade of green and a dark shade of a green, similar to the color scheme of a watermelon. Both his shorts and his shirt are sporadically stained red with pizza sauce and littered with pepperoni slices. His shoes are basic red-and-white sneakers, and he wears a black visor with a picture of a slice of pizza on it.

## Personality

Pinball Star, like most of his fellow zombies, is a mindless, stupid individual who only craves brains, pizza, and pizza with brain toppings. In his former life, Keith was a miserable, apathetic teenager only working at the pizza joint to get a summer job and get his parents to stop nagging him about pulling in his fair share of money.

## Abilities

* **High-Score Smasher:** Pinball Star's trademark weapon is his beloved pinball machine containing his high score, which he has had transformed into a large handheld weapon similar to a minigun. Using this weapon, Pinball Star is capable of firing electrically-charged pinballs at incredibly high speeds. However, firing for too long will cause the weapon to overheat, forcing him to wait as it cools down.
* **High-Score Mode:** Racking up enough kills will allow Pinball Star to enter what he calls "High-Score Mode", wherein his running speed and damage output both increase substantially.
