Pinball.WHO Dunnit has been moved to Pinball.Who Dunnit 1995 for disambiguation purposes.


* "Midnight Madness" in ''[[Pinball/WHODunnit WHO dunnit]]'', which occurs if a game is started or played at midnight. The machine pretends to malfunction, with the flippers going dead, the balls draining, and the game shuts down. After a few seconds, the game wakes up with MIDNIGHT MADNESS, all four balls are launched, and every shot is worth three million points.

I believe that "Pinball" (singular) is the wiki's standard for pinball-related pages (among other things, the page for the medium as a whole and nearly all of its trope subpages use the singular word), so I moved this from MindScrew.Pinballs.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Pinball/JurassicPark'', when the "System Failure" WizardMode starts, the pinball machine itself briefly goes haywire, just like the lab computers in the movie.
* ''Pinball/DemolitionMan'' has the introduction to "Demolition Time", in which the display goes haywire, and finally displays the mode's instructions.
* Since ''Pinball/FamilyGuy'' and ''Pinball/{{Shrek}}'' are essentially the same game with different artwork, it's possible to do this to unsuspecting players by putting the [=ROMs=] for one game into the other.
* In Creator/DennisNordman's ''Pinball/WhiteWater'', getting the Vacation Jackpot causes the machine to suddenly go quiet, then sound a fire alarm, rapidly showing frames and sound bites from other animations in the game, and only afterward does it tell you the number of points you earned.
* Similarly, after successfully completing the Stiff-O-Meter in ''Pinball/ScaredStiff'', the game enters a {{Blipvert}}-like sequence, flashing the playfield lights at random while playing random bursts of graphics and sound that looks exactly like the machine's gone haywire.

The machine pretends to malfunction, with the flippers going dead, the balls draining, and the game shuts down.
