Super Star

The Super Star pinball machine, crafted by Recreativos Franco of Madrid, Spain in 1986, is a solid-state electronic game built on a playfield layout the company had used a decade earlier on its 1975 EM games 'Impacto' (1-player) and 'Impact' (4-player). It holds a place in the history of pinball for this direct link between eras, even though little else has been documented about its design and development.

Super Star offers an Outer Space - Fantasy theme, inviting players into a cosmic setting. Its key gameplay features include two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, two banks of five drop targets, two stand-up targets, and one kick-out hole — a configuration that provides a solid challenge for players navigating ball flow between the various components.

The Super Star's design and art exhibit the futuristic aesthetic characteristic of 1980s pinball machines, with color schemes and graphics evoking a sense of adventure and exploration. While no notable trivia or anecdotes about this specific machine have surfaced, its reuse of an older playfield design and its Spanish manufacturing origin make it an interesting piece of pinball history for collectors.
