Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Limited Edition)
About This Machine
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Limited Edition) pinball machine, designed by John Borg and released by Stern Pinball in 2020, marks a significant milestone in the TMNT franchise's transition to modern pinball. As a licensed theme based on the beloved cartoon series, this game brings the excitement of the Turtle brothers' ninja adventures to the world of pinball.
At its core, the machine boasts an impressive array of features that make it a standout in modern pinball design. The three flippers, five standup targets, two bar targets, and spinning disc with magnet create a dynamic playing experience that rewards skillful play. The upper left 3-ball lock mechanism is particularly noteworthy, as it releases balls to an automatically raised flipper, which deflects them into the spinning disc's magnetic catch. This innovative design element adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.
The machine's aesthetic is equally impressive, featuring custom video scenes and a striking purple and green color scheme with mirrored backglass. The playfield art blades and anti-reflection glass add a touch of sophistication, while the stereo sound system immerses players in the world of the Turtles. With its blend of nostalgic charm and cutting-edge design, this TMNT Limited Edition pinball machine is sure to delight both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
