Tropes appearing in Pinball Deluxe:
  • Advanced Ancient Humans: The Aparatus's backstory is that it could be either technology from the ancient egyptians, space aliens, or both.
  • Anti Matter: As a mod for Space Frontier, represented by a hazy black ball that floats around and gives bonus points when hit.
  • Asteroid Mining: an objective in Space Frontier, represented by a cluster of pins.
  • Baseball Episode: Fastball.
  • Black Box: The plot of Apparatus is that the pinball table is an Unusual User Interface for a peice of ancient/extraterrestrial technology that nobody quite knows what it's meant to do.
  • Breaking Out: BRIX, which uses Breakout tiles instead of pins, and randomly-appearing portals to discharge multiballs
  • Crappy Carnival: 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. If hit enough times-four, or twice with a Powerball-it activates Video Mode.
  • Game Mod: In-Universe, you gain modificatiins for your tables by winning them from the roulette wheel.
  • Golden Snitch:
    • Space Frontier has the Wormhole, which needs to be progressively unlocked.
    • Wild West has the Cattle Ranch, which gives 50,000 points each time its hit.
  • Pirate Booty: The plot of Treasure Hunter.
  • Recycled In Space: The "Galactic Trade" skin for "Tradewind."
  • Refining Resources: The object of Tradewind is to collect resources, such as lumber and grain, and refine them into furniture and bread. Fish are shipped as-is, though.
  • Space Opera: Space Frontier.
  • Spelling Bonus: Space Frontier has "S H I E L D"
  • Unusual User Interface: The Apparatus is a Black Box with the integrated pinball machine being the only known way to manipulate the machine.
  • Video Mode: Carnival's Arcade target triggers Truck Attack, in which the players dodge 18-wheeler trucks and picks up hitchhikers
  • The Western: Wild West, if the title didn't give it away already.
  • Wooden Ships and Iron Men: The plot of Tradewind is that you're governor of a prosperous tropical colony and trying to ship the islands bounty home to England. Pirates chasing your ship is represented by a special mode.
