History Pinball / IronManStern

* WhipItGood: Averted by Whiplash's action figure, who's missing his iconic whips.

Although ''Iron Man'' is not as feature-loaded as some other modern pinball games, most players regard it as a solid table from Stern, with fast and varied gameplay that can be quite addictive. The game is approachable for beginners and intermediate players, yet has enough depth to keep experts challenged, all wrapped up in an adrenaline-pumping combination of sights and sounds.

* BackToBackBadasses: Seen on the backglass with Iron Man and War Machine.
* BiggerStick[=/=]MidSeasonUpgrade: The player must advance Iron Man's armor through its six iterations, from Mark I through Mark VI, to begin Jericho.
* TheCameo: Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff appear on the slingshot bumpers.
* ChestBlaster: The final indicator in the Mark Ladder is Iron Man's Arc Reactor, which lights up when the Mark VI Armor is reached. The lower playfield is drawn to resemble Iron Man's upper torso to further enforce the effect.
* {{Combo}}s: A very slight example. Shooting a Bogey ramp in succession after the other one will double the points that would have otherwise been awarded.
* [[EnemyRisingBehind Enemy Rising From The Playfield]]: The iron Monger rises out of the center of the table for Iron Monger Multiball.
* LargeAndInCharge: The Iron Monger is the most prominent antagonist in the game, even though there are more characters from ''Film/IronMan2'' featured overall.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The "Jericho Missile Mayhem" WizardMode.

* MechaMooks: Justin Hammer's "Hammeroid" drones, available in ground, air, sea, and tactical assault versions.
* NintendoHard: "Do Or Die Multiball", the game's WizardMode. The difficulty is not from the mode itself, but simply ''reaching'' it. Also, in general, this game is notorious for forcing the player to make dangerous shots to advance progress, as well as unusually unforgiving outlanes.

* OldSchoolDogfight: The "Bogey" mode, which pits Iron Man against a pair of US Air Force jet fighters.
* PoweredArmor: But of course!

* ScoreMultiplier: The Iron Man targets enable several temporary multipliers: "Fast Scoring" (all switches are worth at least 10k), "Double Scoring" (all scores are doubled), and "Ironman Scoring" (shoot targets for 1 million hurry up).

* SelectiveMagnetism: Both Iron Monger and Whiplash have magnets that randomly throw the player's pinball around. They are removed in the "Iron Man Classic" version.
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: Some folks see "Iron Man Classic" as this.

* SpellingBonus: Played straight with Iron Monger, as spelling M-O-N-G-E-R enables the Iron Monger Multiball mode. During said mode, spelling M-O-N-G-E-R will make it recede and light the Super Jackpot.

* SpyCatsuit: Worn by Natasha Romanoff, and prominently featured on the side of the backbox.
* WhipItGood: Subverted by Whiplash's action figure, who's missing his iconic whips.

** The actual Wizard Mode is "Do Or Die Multiball", which is only available by collecting Iron Man three times, getting the Super Jackpot for War Machine, Iron Monger, and Whiplash, and defeating four sets of Drones. This is a three-ball multiball, where shooting the Bogey ramps collects the Jackpot, and hitting key targets raises them. The player with the highest score is recognized as the "Do or Die Multiball Champion".

* NintendoHard: "Do Or Die Multiball", the game's WizardMode. The difficulty is not from the mode itself, but simply ''reaching'' it.

As one would expect, the game is based on the first two movies in the ''Film/IronMan'' film series, about genius billionaire industrialist Tony Stark and his various suits of PoweredArmor. Defeat Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko and his energy whips, shoot down Justin Hammer's computerized drones, then face Obidiah Stane in his Iron Monger suit when it rises out of the playfield. Engage the US Air Force in aerial dogfights, rescue Jim Rhodes to recruit his War Machine armor, then unleash the Jericho Missile Mayhem and "Do Or Die" modes for some explosive high-scoring action, all to the tune of an original soundtrack and digitized film clips

In Fall 2010, Stern announced "Iron Man Classic," another attempt to reach the home market[[note]]After ''[[Pinball/BatmanStern Batman]]''[[/note]] with a lower-priced alternative (around $1,400 lower than the original). Compared to the arcade game, the "Classic" removes several game elements, such as the kickback mechanism and the playfield magnets, while the cabinet incorporates various cost-saving manufacturing techniques.

** Played with for Iron Man himself; spelling I-R-O-N-M-A-N starts various timed ScoreMultiplier modes, but the letters only appear on the dot-matrix display. The playfield targets are labeled with pictures of Iron Man himself, as Marvel refused to allow "IRON" and "MAN" to appear on separate sides of the playfield.
