Godzilla (Limited Edition)
About This Machine
The Godzilla Limited Edition pinball machine, designed by Keith Elwin and manufactured by Stern Pinball, Incorporated, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of modern pinball. Released in 2021, this game brings the iconic monster from Japanese cinema to life on the playfield, capitalizing on the enduring popularity of the franchise.
One of the most striking features of Godzilla is its innovative gameplay mechanics. The machine boasts three flippers, two slingshots, and a range of targets, including standup targets, spinning targets, and rollunders. A unique aspect of this game is the mechanical motorized collapsing skyscraper, which diverts the ball to intersecting ramps based on floor position. This clever design element adds an extra layer of challenge and strategy to gameplay. Additionally, Godzilla features a multiball mode that can launch up to six balls onto the playfield at once.
The machine's design and art are equally impressive, with powder-coated and clear-coated high-gloss metallic silver side armor and hinges giving it a sleek, premium look. A mirrored backglass replaces the traditional translite, while anti-reflection playfield glass reduces glare and enhances visibility. The game also features a factory-installed Insider Connected player tracking system, allowing owners to track their progress and compete with others online. As one of Stern's Limited Edition offerings, Godzilla is sure to delight pinball enthusiasts and collectors alike with its blend of classic gameplay, innovative design, and licensed theme.
