Based on Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' starring Tobey Maguire, the game pits the players against the villains of all three movies. Rock [[NormanOsborn the Green Goblin]] by shooting his pumpkin bombs, build speed by whipping around ComicBook/{{Venom}}, then use the webslingers to launch balls across the playfield. Hit Sandman as he rises and falls, but make sure ComicBook/DoctorOctopus doesn't catch you in his tentacles. The game features video and voice clips from the films, and Creator/JKSimmons reprises his role as J. Jonah Jameson to give player instructions.

''Spinder-Man'' has been highly praised by pinball players; it is considered one of the best tables ever from Stern Pinball, with a wide-open playfield, fast action, and rules that are easily enjoyable by beginners while challenging to experts. 500 units of a black limited edition table, with a screened and mirrored backglass and chrome metalwork, was released in the same year.

!!This pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All of the enemy targets and mode lights are colored according to their character -- green for the Green Goblin, blue for Venom, red for Dr. Octopus, and yellow for Sandman.
* DistressedDamsel: Mary Jane Watson, in the "Rescue MJ" mode.
* {{Combo}}s: Consecutive combos award bigger bonuses, achieving 10 or more combos awards Super Combos for more points. Getting 50 combos starts a two-ball Combo Multiball.
* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]FirstPersonSmartass: Jameson's constant narration, played deliciously by J.K. Simmons.
* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition
* MovingTargetBonus: The second and third Green Goblin modes require hitting a moving target, with more points awarded for hitting it directly as opposed to hitting its afterglow.
* NoSell: A magnet allows Doc Ock to grab incoming pinballs before they have a chance to hit him.
* ShoutOut: WordOfGod is that Sandman's center bank of three targets is a tribute to ''Pinball/AttackFromMars''.
* SkillShot: Shoot the flashing top rollover lane for bonus points, a 5X bonus multiplier, and double bumper values.
** Alternately, soft launch the ball so it rolls back down to the upper-right flipper, then hit the left Venom ramp for 500,000 points and a boost in the Venom value.
* SpellingBonus: HERO increases the bonus multiplier, and WEB awards a score bonus.
* TakeThatPlayer: Several, delivered with Jameson's sardonic bite.
-->'''Jameson:''' (after a quick drain ball saver) "Play better."
* TimedMission: All of the non-villain modes, which gives you 40 seconds to hit a series of flashing shots.
-->'''Bonesaw:''' "I've got you for ''three'' minutes!"
* WarpWhistle: The "web slingers", transparent arches which quickly carry pinballs across the playfield.
* WizardMode:
** The sub-Wizsrd Mode is the "Battle Royale", which is available after beating each villain twice. This is a multiball mode where the player must complete hits on each foe to light the Royale bonus, then collect it at the right ramp.
** The main Wizard Mode is "Super Hero", available after beating each villain three times and completing the five non-villain modes. Hit all the red arrows, then hit all four villains and the white arrows, hit Sandman over forty times, then shoot the Spider-Sense shot for 250 million points.
