Metroid Prime Pinball (Nintendo DS)

Similar in concept to the 16-bit Sonic Spinball games and the GBA's Mario Pinball Land, Metroid Prime Pinball combines the character-based adventure and exploration of a platform game with pinball mechanics and party-table styled levels. In the single player mode, Samus Aran rolls up in a ball and must navigate a series of six large, pinball table environments, full of bonuses, power-ups, and hidden areas that prompt shooting and platform-jumping mini-games. At the end of each table is a boss character, each with a distinct style of attack (and an equally distinct hidden weakness). Metroid Prime Pinball also supports a multiplayer mode, for as many as eight players, through a wireless DS connection.
