Play Super Pinball - Behind the Mask (Japan) Online

Super Pinball: Behind the Mask came out in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by KAZe Co., Ltd. It was part of a wave of pinball games on the SNES that tried to capture the feel of real tables, with varying degrees of success. This one stood out for its horror theme, which wasn't all that common in pinball games at the time.

You control the flippers, trying to keep the ball in play and rack up points by hitting targets, ramps, and bumpers. The main objective is just to score as high as you can across three different tables, each with its own layout and goals. Signature mechanics include multi-ball modes, hidden passages, and timed events that change how the table behaves. The pacing is fairly quick, and the physics take some getting used to; the ball feels a bit floaty compared to some other pinball sims, but it becomes manageable with practice. Hitting specific sequences triggers satisfying combos and multipliers, which makes those longer runs feel rewarding. It's a straightforward but engaging take on digital pinball that holds up if you enjoy the genre.
