Rick And Morty (Standard Edition)
About This Machine
The Rick And Morty Standard Edition pinball machine, designed by Scott Danesi and manufactured by Spooky Pinball LLC, was released in February 2020 as one of the first pinball machines based on the Adult Swim animated series, featuring voiceovers by series co-creator Justin Roiland.
Gameplay is where this machine shines. Three flippers and an array of features -- including illuminating drop targets, a spinning target, and a horseshoe lane with a diverter -- create an immersive experience. A magnet over the right inlane, activated by an extra flipper button on the cabinet's right side, adds a layer of challenge, while the captive ball mechanism (nicknamed the "flooble crank"), which transfers a ball's momentum through a wireform to score, is a highlight of the machine's design. The up-post in the center of the horseshoe can redirect the ball's exit or use a drop target to "lock" it.
The cabinet features silver vein powder-coated legs, side rails, hinges, speaker panel, and lockdown bar, with side rails that do not surround the flipper buttons. The backglass is actual tempered glass with a direct print, while cabinet art uses printed and laminated decals. Spooky Pinball advertised a combined run of 750 units across the Standard and Blood Sucker Editions, with only 36 Standard Editions ultimately produced, making this a comparatively scarce version of the title.
