The "Banzai Run" pinball machine, released by Williams in 1988, is notable for its innovative dual-level playfield design, which allows gameplay both on the main playfield and a vertical playfield in the backglass. Designed by Pat Lawlor, this machine was his first foray into pinball design and features a motorcycle racing theme. Players can enjoy unique gameplay mechanics such as a magnetic ball lift and multiple flippers to navigate the challenging terrain.
