The premise of the game ([[ExcusePlot such as it is]]) revolves around both time traveling and (unsurprisingly) the decades-spanning oeuvre of Music/{{Rush}}. A TimeMachine prominently sits on the playfield, allowing players who shoot it repeatedly with the ball to access one of three different time periods, each associated with a specific song by the band and a multiball themed around it. These aren't the only modes associated with Rush's back catalog, however - there are also six "planet" modes and three unrelated multiball modes that use one of 17[[note]]16 if the two parts of "Cygnus X-1" are counted as a single song, which official publicity materials do[[/note]] different songs from their past. (Each of these is accompanied by live concert footage correlating to the era in which they were released.) Exceptionally persistent players will be able to access three wizard modes themed around Rush's [[EpicRocking longest tunes]]: "Cygnus X-1" (in two parts) and "Music/TwentyOneTwelve." All of this is accompanied by dozens of voice clips provided by the surviving band members (Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson) and the Music/BarenakedLadies' Ed Robertson.

''Rush'' is a {{Physical Pinball Table|s}} designed by Creator/JohnBorg and released by Creator/{{Stern}} Pinball.

All of this is accompanied by dozens of voice clips provided by the surviving band members (Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson) and the Music/BarenakedLadies' Ed Robertson.
The game comes in three different editions: "Pro" (the most basic iteration), "Premium" (which adds and upgrades a couple physical mechanics), and "Limited" (a run of 1,000 units which adds yet more bells and whistles). All three versions have a diverter mechanism on one of the game's ramps and two scoops connected to a subway system for holding balls underneath the playfield. The latter two add a moving ramp in front of the time machine and a miniature drum that doubles as a clock (with a motorized minute hand that factors into gameplay during certain modes). Meanwhile, the former two can also be outfitted with Stern's "Expression Lighting System," an official GameMod[[note]]first used in ''Pinball/LedZeppelin'' the previous year[[/note]] that adds [=LEDs=] to the side of the cabinet that change in time with the music and react to gameplay. (The Limited edition has it installed by default.) Finally, every version has different cabinet artwork, all done by Michael Barnard (and [[MythologyGag packed with references to Rush's cover artwork]]).

!!''Rush'' contains examples of:
* CelebrityIsOverrated: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] during "Limelight." While successfully making relevant shots adds to the player's fame (implicitly a good thing, since it awards points), the ultimate goal of the mode is to ''escape'' the limelight.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: All six of the planet modes highlight relevant shots with a specific color - "Working Man" is orange, "La Villa Strangiato" is purple, "The Spirit of Radio" is blue, "Tom Sawyer" is cyan, "Limelight" is (fittingly) lime, and "The Big Money" is pink. This also impacts another game mechanic: getting records of the same color before starting the mode will [[ScoreMultiplier double or triple]] the relevant shot's scoring while it's running.
* ExcusePlot: Promotional material summarizes the game's plot as simply "travel back in time alongside Rush," a thin premise largely used to justify the use of concert footage and [[MythologyGag umpteen references to the band's back catalog]].
* ImprobableInfantSurvival: Far Cry Multiball [[MythologyGag recreates the original liner artwork for the song it's named after]], which depicts a baby in a carriage being struck by lightning. The game's animation for getting a Super Jackpot goes a bit further: after the bolt hits their outstretched hand, the baby gives a thumbs up, clearly unharmed.
* MatchSequence: In a recreation of ''Music/PowerWindows''' cover art, the match number is displayed on a television monitor.
* MythologyGag: The game has so many references to Rush's back catalog of music and artwork that it has [[MythologyGag/Rush2022 its own page]].
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: One of the voice clips that plays upon tilting the game ends with Ed Robertson angrily telling the player "Don't... shake... the... machine!"
* ScoreMultiplier:
** Planet modes can have certain shots' point values temporarily doubled if the player acquires the appropriate color record beforehand by shooting those shots. Color-coordinating all six of them instead ''triples'' their scoring for the mode's duration.
** Parodied in one of the fake mystery award options, which claims to offer "100x Scoring" (but, like the other joke awards, will never be chosen).

-->'''Geddy Lee:''' I can play three keyboards and a bass, and you can't even hit the ball?
* TimeMachine: The central toy on the playfield is a time machine that's tied to various multiball modes. When one is activated, the display animation shows the machine being set to the year the mode's namesake song came out and summoning something relevant to it out of a portal, presumably taking it from earlier in time. (For instance, "Red Barchetta" has the titular car drive out.)
* WaxingLyrical: Some of the game's voice lines directly quote lyrics from relevant Rush songs during regular speech.
** Getting a tilt sometimes prompts Alex Lifeson to say "Driven to the edge of a deep... dark... ''hole''," a phrase taken straight from the band's song "Driven." (The animation accompanying it is based on the cover artwork for [[Music/TestForEcho the album it came from]], to boot.)
** Successfully making a shot during Subdivisions Multiball occasionally results in Geddy Lee saying a line from the titular song's chorus: "Conform or be cast out!"
