The Simpsons Pinball Party

The Simpsons Pinball Party is the second licensed pinball machine based on The Simpsons, designed by Keith Johnson and Joe Balcer, and released by Stern Pinball in February 2003. It is a successor to The Simpsons pinball machine by Data East Pinball, the predecessor to Stern.

As one would expect, this pinball game is a cornucopia of all things Simpsons as the entire town of Springfield comes out for a wild nonstop party. Take a tour of Springfield's iconic landmarks, from Moe's Tavern and the town monorail to the Kwik-E-Mart and the Nuclear Power Plant. The game features the talking, moving head of Homer Simpson, along with skateboarding Bart, Itchy & Scratchy, and Comic Book Guy. The garage door leads to a second level with a dot-matrix color television set and a couch that gets filled up to start multiball. The party is easy to start, but only the very best players will get to invoke Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode.

The Simpsons Pinball Party is based on the animated sitcom The Simpsons that airs on the Fox network. The game is said to feature one of the most complex rule sheets that has ever been designed for a pinball machine featuring the ability to stack various modes and multi-balls on top of each other. Reaching the "Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode" requires an unusually large number of shots and only a few people have ever reached it.
