History Pinball / StarTrekTheNextGeneration

* FasterThanLightTravel: The player can accelerate the ''Enterprise'' from Warp 1 to Warp 9. At that, "Warp 9 Mode" begins, and there's a TimedMission where additional shots can be made to [[UpToEleven advance the ship to Warp 9.9]].

'''Picard:''' "THANK YOU, Mr. Data."

-->'''Data:''' "Had you projected the ball on the proper trajectory, you would have been rewa--" ''*hit flipper buttons*''
-->'''Picard:''' "THANK YOU, Mr. Data."

* DummiedOut: One of Troi's lines, "I believe they have evil intentions," is not used in the game at the request of Marina Sirtis. It is accessible in the sound test, however.

* CreatorCameo: Admiral Biagi (who informs the player about the Borg menace) is voiced by and modeled after Carl Biagi, who developed the mechanics for Steve Ritchie's pinball games (including this game).

* MagikarpPower: The spinner awards a paltry 1,000 points per spin at the beginning. By raising your Warp Factor high enough and hitting certain targets enough times, it can give up to 25,500,000 points a spin normally [[labelnote:*]]The spinner's value increases by 1,000 every time the Time Rift targets are hit up to a maximum of 30,000. The value can be increased beyond 30,000 by getting the Double Spinner award at Warp Factor 7, but it caps at 255,000. Warp Factor 4 lights the spinner making it worth 100x base value.[[/labelnote]]. That's not even counting Super Spinner.

** If your ball drains before you can even begin to play a mission, he'll often say, "Had you projected the ball on the proper trajectory, you would have been rewarded."
** When you fail a probe launch, he'll state, "The probe has discovered nothing, sir." He's also sometimes cut off by an annoyed Captain Picard saying, "Thank you, Mr. Data."

* WizardMode: After completing all seven missions, the "Final Frontier" becomes available. Upon starting it, the game first awards points for each individual artifact collected, plus a big extra bonus for each complete set of four. Then the Final Frontier begins; it is a six-ball multiball mode, where each target's value is determined by the number of artifacts.

* WizardMode: After completing all seven missions, the "Final Frontier" becomes available. Upon starting it, the game first tallies the number of artifacts the player has collected. Then the Final Frontier begins; it is a six-ball multiball mode, where each target's value is determined by the number of artifacts.

''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' is a 1993 {{Pinball}} machine, designed by Creator/SteveRitchie with artwork by Creator/GregFreres, and released by Creator/WilliamsElectronics. It is the third arcade pinball game based on the ''Series/StarTrek'' franchise, and was based on [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the television series.]]

* CaptainObvious: Data can be this.

A digital version is available for [=FarSight=] Studios' ''VideoGame/ThePinballArcade''.

* TheFinalFrontier: The WizardMode of the game.

** Even just ''starting'' Final Frontier can award billions of points, with the artifacts accumulating over the entire game. Not to mention every shot being worth up to 250 million.

* PinballScoring: Prevalent, with high scores being in the billions. There is also the Q Continuum high score table that keeps track of high scores of 10 billion or more. This trope truly starts to manifest over a long game:

* CosmeticAward: Eschewing the ItsAWonderfulFailure used at the end of most DMD pinball games, the game instead ends with "Captain's log supplemental..." followed by a description of one of the player's best achievments during their play session.

* StopHelpingMe: Invoked; if you flub a shot and drain the ball, Data will sometimes begin to comment. Interrupting him (by hitting the flipper buttons) yields a small bonus.
-->'''Data:''' "Had you projected the ball on the proper trajectory, you would have been rewa--" ''*hit flipper buttons*''
-->'''Picard:''' "THANK YOU, Mr. Data."

** The operator's manual refers to a "[[UrbanLegendOfZelda secret video mode]]", which is believed to be a version of ''VideoGame/{{Breakout}}''. The exact requirement for invoking it is a secret, however, and rumors are that it was disabled in the final game to avoid a possible lawsuit from Creator/{{Atari}}. It can sometimes be seen during the attract mode, however.

** Steve Ritchie's pinography: Pressing the flipper buttons in a specific order during the game will display the logos of all of Steve Ritchie's past games.

* MagikarpPower: The spinner awards a paltry 1,000 points per spin at the beginning. By raising your Warp Factor high enough and hitting certain targets enough times, it can give up to 5,000,000 points a spin normally. That's not even counting Super Spinner.

* RankUp: You start the game with the Ensign rank. Advancing the bonus multiplier lights the "Advance Rank" shot, and shooting it advances your rank to the following (in increasing order): Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, and Captain.

!!This pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

-->'''Data:''' "Unknown, sir."

* {{Cap}}: Subverted. The number of Holodecks collected will roll over to 0 if another one is collected with 255. Similarly, the bonus for completing the Bonus X lanes will roll over from 250M to 4M. Both of these are most likely a result of the values being stored as an 8-bit integer and not being checked against a maximum.
