[edit] Game details

Your goal[1] is to defeat the villains from all three movies: Green Goblin from Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, and new goblin,Sandman and Venom from Spider-Man 3. Once you defeat all four villains, you'll experience Battle Royale!

[edit] Features

There are detailed, vibrant toys of each of the four villains on the playfield[2][3][4][5] with an associated shot:

  • Doctor Octopus' magnet that simulates a "Fusion Malfunction" by holding the ball.
  • Green Goblin hovering on his glider above Pumpkin Bomb targets.
  • Venom's ramp that quickly feeds the ball back to the left flipper.
  • Sandman's whirlwind of targets and a motor 3-bank at the center of the playfield; and a whole lot of amazing multi-ball action.

J. K. Simmons, the actor who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies also recorded additional lines of custom speech appropriate for the pinball game, such as "Extra ball", "Jackpot", and "Hey, kid, you just won a free game."

SPIDER-MAN™ pinball is a game of speed, flow and constant action and excitement. Lyman and I have always wanted to make a SPIDER-MAN™ pinball game since forever, and it contains the best work and ideas of many people who work at Stern Pinball.
