History Pinball / MustangStern

--> '''MUTT:''' "You winning is like me dividing by zero -- it will never happen."

* ShoutOut:

* SkillShot: Conveniently labeled at the upper right corner of the playfield.

* SpellingBonus: There is a drop target associated with each of the letters in "Gears." Spell it out the first time by sinking all five the to start Gears Multiball. For each subsequent time, you have to spell it out five times. Spelling out M-U-S-T-A-N-G starts Mustang Multiball.

** During the "Rally Race" mode, some of the competitors include an ''Pinball/AttackFromMars''-like Martian, the "Sparky" character from a previous Stern title, ''Pinball/{{Metallica}}'' game and an {{Expy}} of KITT from ''Series/KnightRider'' (named MUTT, in this case).

* DonutMessWithACop: Police Pursuit begins with a driver racing past a cop at a donut stand.

* ScoreMultiplier: The [=N2O=] boost, which can be lit on the left standup after hitting three other N2O targets, will temporarily double scoring.

* ScoreMultiplier: The [=N2O=] boost, which can be lit on the left standup after hitting three other thin standup targets, will temporarily double scoring.

** A code update added a {{''Pinball/Pinbot''}}-style skill shot, activated by holding the left flipper while the ball is launched. The columns of lights will strobe, and the GE, A, or RS targets must be hit when the column of lights in front of them are lit.

** Burnout Multiball is another shout-out to the same game, as the multiball has the same rules as the multiball from said game.

** Burnout Multiball basically has the same rules as the multiball from ''Pinball/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon''.

%% Please add more tropes to this. I just put this up to get it started.

The game is largely considered incomplete among pinball enthusiasts, but this is chalked up largely to its relative newness. Multiballs are currently disproportionately valuable compared to the rest of the game, and there are a number of unused features and lights. Like with ''Pinball/BatmanStern'', ''Pinball/SpiderManStern'', ''Pinball/{{ACDC}}'', and ''Pinball/{{Metallica}}'', Stern intends to release updates to improve the game and add more features.

* ThatCameOutWrong: Narrowly averted; the GEARS targets were originally supposed to spell SHIFT, until someone realized that hitting the letter "F" would cause a scandal...

'''Mustang''' is Creator/{{Stern}}'s first pinball machine of 2014, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor's Mustang line of cars. The playfield was designed by Creator/JohnTrudeau with Camilo Pardo, Creator/JohnYoussi, and Creator/GregFreres behind the artwork; Lonnie Ropp, Tanio Klyce, Jack Benson, Mike Kyzivat, and Waison Cheng making the rules; and David Thiel and Mike Kyzivat responsible for the sound and music. Creator/GeorgeGomez supervised the production of this pinball machine.

* ShoutOut: The feed to the right inlane features a whirlpool layout in an almost identical location to that of ''Pinball/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon''.

* RealSongThemeTune: There are 4 songs in the Pro Edition and 8 songs in the Premium and Limited Editions courtesy of Sony Music.

* WizardMode: Silverball Stampede.

* OffTheShelfFX: The Mustang model near the middle of the playfield. More expensive models allow for easy customization.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The Premium and Limited Editions, as is typical with Stern. These more expensive versions have a slightly modified playfield, with drop targets in front of some of the N2O targets with the scale model's platform on a turntable, and four additional songs. The Limited Edition also has a powder-coated blue frame.
