Austin Powers™

The Austin Powers pinball machine, designed by Lonnie D. Ropp and released by Stern Pinball in June 2001, brings the spy-comedy film franchise to the playfield with toys including a Laser Cannon gun, a Dr. Evil figure that rises up from the playfield, a vertically spinning 'Time Machine' magnet, and a 'dancing' Austin figure. By 2001, licensed movie themes were already well established in pinball, so Austin Powers joined a growing trend of Hollywood tie-ins rather than being an early pioneer of the format.

Gameplay includes modes built around the film's characters and gags, such as Shag HurryUp and Mojo Multiball, along with Time Machine Multiball (started by repeatedly shooting the center ramp) and Fat Bastard Multiball (started by repeatedly shooting the toilet). Completing six modes leads into the Virtucon Multiball sub-wizard mode, with Moonbase Multiball as the game's ultimate wizard mode.

The full-size cabinet - advertised at 55 inches long, 27 inches wide, 75.5 inches high, and 260 pounds - houses colorful art and callouts drawing on the film's humor. Fred Young provided a line of voice work for the game, though even he has said he doesn't recall which line it was.
