Banzai Run

Banzai Run is a Pinball Table designed by Pat Lawlor and Larry DeMar, with artwork by Mark Sprenger. It was released in 1988 by Williams Electronics, and is notable for its continuous playfield, which extends vertically into the backbox.

The game itself is centered on the 1988 Banzai Run Supercross race on the notorious Banzai Hill track. As an up-and-coming racer, you are up against four rivals: Green Machine, Yellow Belly, Blue Beard, and Red Hot. Build up laps on the lower playfield, then hit the twelve color-coded targets to challenge each racer and access the hill. Once that’s done, ride the Ball Lifter to the vertical playfield to defeat the challengers, then take on the King of the Hill in a light-and-sound spectacular.
