History Pinball / TheSimpsonsPinballParty

In 2006, Stern made a conversion of the game for the Discover Center Museum in Rockford, Illinois, titled ''The Brain''.

All references to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' were stripped out, and the TV simply scrolls "BRAIN GAME" continously. Instead, the game focuses on the five senses - seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. It also has a feature not seen in ''Pinball Party'' - every 10 to 15 games, everything is shut down for about 15 seconds to simulate a seizure.

Bruce Qaust, the Exhibits Manager of the museum, did all the art himself.

* PaintingTheMedium: The game occasionally simulates a seizure by stopping play for about 15 seconds

--> '''Chief Wiggum:''' Open up Simpson, you're under arrest!\\
'''Homer:''' For ''what?''\\
'''Chief Wiggum:''' Hoarding pinballs!

* SkillShot: There's three of them and depending on how you launch the ball you could get more than one point value related skill shot, or a carefull shot to the Comic Book Guy target starts hurry-up with two shots lit.

* {{Revenge}}: "Scratchy's Revenge", unsurprisingly, is focused on this.

* SkillShot: A careful launch will hit Comic Book Guy, starting "Hurry Up" mode immediately.

''The Simpsons Pinball Party'' is the second [[LicensedPinballTable licensed]] {{pinball}} machine based on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', designed by Keith P. Johnson and Joe Balcer, and released by Stern Pinball in February 2003. It is a successor to the similarly titled ''The Simpsons'' pinball machine by Creator/DataEast Pinball, the predecessor to Stern.

* WizardMode: The aptly named "Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode". Getting to it is extremely difficult, and those who have reached it have an unspoken oath to not tell others about it. ([[http://www.ipdb.org/rulesheets/4674/tspp-rulesheet.txt A person has written about it]], though, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AByPrc0czhw a YouTube video showing it]] exists as well.)

* PunnyName: The ''Itchy & Scratchy'' episodes: "Spay Anything", "Kitty Kitty Bang Bang", "Field of Screams", and "Esophagus Now"

As one would expect, this pinball game is a cornucopia of all things Simpsons as the entire town of Springfield comes out for a wild nonstop party. Take a tour of Springfield's iconic landmarks, from Moe's Tavern and the town monorail to the Quik-E-Mart and the Nuclear Power Plant. The game features the talking, moving head of Homer Simpson, along with skateboarding Bart, Itchy & Scratchy, and Comic Book Guy. The garage door leads to a second level with a dot-matrix color television set and a couch that gets filled up to start multiball. The party is easy to start, but only the very best players will get to invoke Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode.

* GottaCatchThemAll: The Cletus Kids and Simpson family members are needed to activate Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard mode.

As one would expect, this pinball game is a cornucopia of all things Simpsons, centered around the family living room on a second-level mini playfield. Springfield's iconic landmarks are present, from Moe's Tavern to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and overlooking it all is Homer's gigantic bald head. Send the balls through the garage and onto the couch, then fill it up to start multiball and the quest for Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode.
