You might want to find a tree stump to dance on, because we’re about to drop some pinball news that will make you want to do the Truffle Shuffle! At long last, Spooky Pinball has revealed details for its highly anticipated pinball machine inspired by Richard Donner’s The Goonies.
A Pirate’s Treasure Chest of Playfield Toys
Spooky‘s new game comes with a pirate’s treasure chest-worth of features, including sculpted quarterdeck stairs, an interactive motorized rotating ship wheel, a Walk the Plank escape shot that drops to the Octopus Pit, a VUK that feeds the One-Eyed Will ball lock, and a repeatable Jump Rope 180-degree orbit!
Working Bone Organs, Hidden Entrances, and More
Do you want more iconography from the film? What if the ball gets to the Inferno from a sculpted translucent treasure pile in a treasure chest via a mechanized lift ramp that carries it to the launch? Not enough? What if the bone organ from the film is on the right side of the playfield? Spooky’s new table has that too. It’s a sculpted, moving, flashing piece, and the organ keys work as targets. The organ also has its own rhythm game video mode.
Other features on the playfield include:
– A fully sculpted One-Eyed Willy multiball lock, with an add-a-ball under a jaw drop target
– The Lighthouse Lounge fireplace, with three secret entrances
– RGB-lit Fratelli’s Lighthouse Lounge drop targets
– A repeatable Waterslide upper-flipper spinner loop
– An X Marks the Spot captive ball
– A “Data Gadget” Shatz rattle-switch multiplier
The machine has five stainless steel ramps and skip ramps, and seven whiskey-bronze powder-coated habitrails. Sculpts are officially licensed and made by Back Alley Creations.
Hand-Drawn Art, Movie Clips, and Cyndi Lauper
Additionally, Christopher Franchi did the beautiful hand-drawn art, and Brady Hearn composed amazing original music and sounds for the game. It is now confirmed that the machine includes Cyndi Lauper’s original recording of the iconic “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.” It also contains hours upon hours of original clips and sound from the movie!
Wow! Spooky’s new pinball machine for The Goonies looks awesome! I love the singing One-Eyed Willy on top of the game, and the way the multiball falls from the skeleton’s eye socket is so cool!
There are multiple versions of the game, including a Super Limited Edition and a Collector’s Edition. Design credits go to Luke, Bug, and Luke Peters, with programming by Matt Kemp and Casey Butler. The team has said it has spent a whopping two and a half years on Goonies. Production is expected to start in January or February, once Beetlejuice wraps.
Editions, Production Dates, and How to Get One
Spooky is only producing 85 Super Limited Edition machines. Some of these were allocated to distributors, and the rest will be randomly awarded to Collector’s Edition buyers in a drawing.
