** ''Deadpool'' uses the criss-crossing ramp design that's a signature of Creator/MarkRitchie, particularly the kind used in ''Pinball/FishTales'', though it functions differently. Blind Al Mode turns off the lights and provides you with a glowing ball much like how ''Viper Night Drivin''' works.

** ''Deadpool'' uses the criss-crossing ramp design that's a signature of Creator/MarkRitchie, particularly the kind used in ''Pinball/FishTales''.
** The ball lock on the lower-right in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' is based on the TARDIS in ''Pinball/DoctorWho''.
** The Everett mini-playfield in ''The Walking Dead'' has a layout very similar to the attic in ''Pinball/HauntedHouse'', including a pair of flippers that point away from each other.

* PinballScoring: Averted in most of the newer tables (and some of the older ones). Even reaching 1 million points will take a good deal of effort. Played straight with ''VideoGame/SorcerorsLair'' and ''Rocky & Bullwinkle'', where it's relatively easy to get scores in the hundreds of millions.

** A cap of 10x end-of-ball bonus multiplier, with an extra ball given after that. On many tables, this is the only way of obtaining an extra ball.

** Flippers at a high angle when held, leading to easy ball catches.

In 2009, Zen released ''Zen Pinball'' on the PlayStationNetwork, making it the first pinball game on the {{PlayStation 3}}. It came with four tables ("Earth Defense", "El Dorado", "Epic Quest", and "Excalibur"), with others released later. The game was subsequently released on [[AndroidGames Android devices]] as ''Zen Pinball THD'' and the Nintendo3DS as ''Zen Pinball 3D'' in 2011. A version of ''Zen Pinball'' was also released for [[IOSGames [=iOS=] devices]], with proper support for downloadable tables.

''Pinball FX 2'' was released in 2010 for the {{Xbox 360}}, Windows 8, and Steam network, while ''Zen Pinball 2'' was released in 2012 for the {{PlayStation 3}}, and then ported to the PlayStationVita and the WiiU. These are upgrades to the original titles, with an improved game engine and support for more features. The games are backwards compatible with the originals, allowing owners to import their tables.

'''Note:''' As new Works pages are created for the various Zen Pinball tables, be sure to add them here and on the DigitalPinballTables page.

* ''Super League Football''

** {{Timed Mission}}s.

** Chomper in ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesPinball'', when not used as a kickback, acts similarly to the cannon in ''Pinball/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' and ''Pinball/{{ACDC}}''.

** The semicircular captive ball lane in ''Captain America'' may have been based on the identical one in ''Pinball/BabyPacMan'', as it's also in the same location on the playfield.

* ShoutOut: Zen Studios loves pinball, and it shows in their borrowing of physical objects present in notable pinball machines.

** The rotating block in ''Paranormal'' is based on The Bride in ''Pinball/TheMachineBrideOfPinbot'' and is put int he same location. The mini-playfield where the backglass would normally be comes from ''Pinball/BanzaiRun''. The Chupacabra captive ball functions very similarly to the Map Room in ''Pinball/IndianaJonesStern''.

** Narrow shots.

** A kickback on both outlanes.

** The plunger lane in ''Tesla'' is identical in structure to that of ''Pinball/TalesOfTheArabianNights''.

** Flippers at a high angle when held, leading to easy ball catches.
