16Tropes appearing in ''Pinball Deluxe:''
17* AdvancedAncientHumans: ''The Aparatus's'' backstory is that it could be either technology from the ancient egyptians, space aliens, or both.
18* AntiMatter: As a mod for ''Space Frontier,'' represented by a hazy black ball that floats around and gives bonus points when hit.
19* AsteroidMining:
20** An objective in ''Space Frontier,'' represented by a cluster of pins.
21** ''Galactic Trading'' replaces the vanilla coal mine with crystalline asteroids.
22* BaseballEpisode: ''Fastball.''
23* BlackBox: The plot of ''Apparatus'' is that the pinball table is an UnusualUserInterface for a peice of ancient/extraterrestrial technology that nobody quite knows what it's meant to do.
24* BreakingOut: ''BRIX,'' which uses Breakout tiles instead of pins, and randomly-appearing gobble-holes to discharge and sink multiballs.
25* CrappyCarnival: The Great Carnival Extravaganza has the basic fairground, and two attractions: a haunted house and a house of mirrors. An arcade is mentioned, but consists of a return track. [[spoiler: If hit enough times-four, or twice with a Powerball-it activates VideoMode.]]
26* GameMod: InUniverse, you gain modifications for your tables by winning them from the roulette wheel.
27* GoldenSnitch:
28** ''Space Frontier'' has the Wormhole, which needs to be progressively unlocked.
29** Wild West has the Cattle Ranch, which gives 50,000 points each time its hit.
30** Fastball's Batting Cages VideoMode has a 1,000-points pocket at the top-center. While this doesn't sound like a lot, hitting into the multiplier pockets can crank it up to a million points.
31* PirateBooty: The plot of ''Treasure Hunter.''
32* PinballScoring:
33** Downplayed. For most titles, reaching a million points will put you in the top tens.
34** Outright defied for the quest-heavy Jurassic Links, Tradewinds, and Rydes tables.
35* RecycledWithAGimmick: The "Galactic Trade" skin for "Tradewind" is set in spaaace(!). Grain and Coal are swapped out for Fissile Material and Crystals.
36* RefiningResources: The object of ''Tradewind'' is to collect resources (connoted by a toy wind and water mills for vanilla, and a silo of plutonium and a refinery tower for ''Galactic''), such as lumber and grain, and refine them into furniture and bread. Fish are shipped as-is, though. In the "Galactic Trade," Fissile Material has to be refined, but no other resource does.
37* SpaceOpera: ''Space Frontier.''
38* SpellingBonus: ''Space Frontier'' has "S H I E L D"
39* UnusualUserInterface: ''The Apparatus'' is a BlackBox with the integrated pinball machine being the only known way to manipulate the machine.
40* VideoMode:
41** [[spoiler: Carnival's Arcade target triggers Truck Attack, in which the players dodge 18-wheeler trucks and picks up hitchhikers]]
42** Fastball's upper left corner, if sunk three times in a row, triggers "Batting Cages." The object is to hit six balls into pockets of varying point values.
43* TheWestern: ''Wild West,'' if the title didn't give it away already.
