Congrats on the Mario! I was a big Nintendo fan as a kid and always dreamed of owning one when I saw it in a gaming magazine and my local bowling alley got one in. 15 years or so later and I finally got to own one....Purchasing a Freddy a week before probably took the shine off owning Mario. Freddy was a much faster game and Mario got the occasional play. It also seemed difficult for a supposed kids machine. Months later I persevered with it and now enjoy and appreciate the Mario machine. It has a nice bright playfield with very little wear and I replaced the faded translite which really made it shine.
I'd love to add a few Mario figures to the playfield. As others have said, the figures weren't included in the original machines.
I also liked the SF2 pinball machine as a kid and would still like to own one, but I think it would be too similar to the feel and gameplay of Mario.
Good to hear everyone is enjoying theirs!
Adam.
