 This is what I could pick up from the stream, so some parts are missing and/or incomplete!)*** The Pro versions are shipping with code version 0.81. ‍ According to the Stern Pinball website: ‍ ***“Deadpool” is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his talkative nature & is notorious for his outrageously funny offbeat humor which is featured throughout the game.  Players will be immersed in the Deadpool universe, teaming up with iconic X-Men characters Wolverine, Dazzler, Domino, and Colossus as they battle against infamous villains Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Mystique, Sauron, and Mr. Sinister. Players will also tag along with Deadpool on his time machine quests as he battles against the T-Rex and the Megalodon.*** ‍ You begin this game in Deadpool’s bunker, with Dazzler, Colossus, Wolverine, and Domino.  They’re hanging out having a good time playing some retro Stern games.  Deadpool is front and center, playing his new Deadpool LE pinball machine. ![Pixel art arcade scene with superhero character near vintage game machines](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fea02_65652b23a366dcb874c06237_Screen-Shot-2018-08-22-at-1.42.57-PM.png) It is worth noting, this is the first Stern Pinball machine in a while (since Batman ’66?) where the player does not make a “choice” before starting a game, such as picking your song or path. ### Main Modes In the main storyline, there are two types of modes – BATTLES and QUESTS.  You light and play these modes in the following ways: ### **Battles** ![Deadpool versus Juggernaut battle screen in comic book fighting game](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fe9f9_65652b23dc82b6f96aacffdb_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.05.58-PM.png) - Light *Battle* by spelling D-E-A-D on the Deadpool targets ![Colorful Deadpool pinball machine with vibrant comic book-style artwork](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/70f6d178b2ef.jpeg) - Shoot scoop, then Choose your Battle ![Pixel art of Juggernaut and X-Men characters in fighting game screen](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fe9f2_65652b234f2733a100fccb53_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.05.38-PM.png) - Shoot lit shots to defeat enemies - **Juggernaut:** shoot DEADPOOL targets, then shoot lit orange shots - **Sabretooth:** shoot left spinner, middle spinner, right orbit - **Mystique:** shoot center, then center and ramps ![Deadpool and Sabretooth fighting in snowy pixel video game battle](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fea09_65652b235d402d5cb3ab7e3a_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.51.26-PM.png) - They get stunned after their life bar has gotten low, and you have 15 seconds to shoot the scoop for the Final Shot to complete the mode ![Red costumed character defeats opponent with high-scoring final shot](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fe9f5_65652b2381d021a4b9a20d47_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.30.57-PM.png) ### **Quests** - Shoot Right Orbit for the chimichanga truck, shoot orange shots to collect Chimichangas and punch your chimichanga punch card ![Chimichanga Punch Card game screen with cartoon tomato character](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fe9fc_65652b23634975d658b97867_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-5.48.27-PM.png) - Once the chimichanga punch card is cashed out, QUEST lights at scoop ![Red food truck with Chili Changa Banga! logo near water](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e4c94e3f59449fea05_65652b23ab94c5de3521ab4e_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-9.39.06-PM.png) - Shoot Scoop and Deadpool takes the chimichanga truck and travels through time to battle the T-Rex or Megalodon ![Pixel art of Marvel characters Deadpool, Juggernaut, Mystique, and T-Rex](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e7c94e3f59449fea6e_65652b23ab94c5de3521ab4b_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.39.10-PM.png) - T-Rex mode: shoot lit shots, throw bombs at TRex by shooting Lil’ Deadpool ![Pixelated game scene with red character running from giant green dinosaur](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e7c94e3f59449fea71_65652b23447de950cf61483b_Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-6.39.45-PM.png) ![Pixel game screen with red hand holding scissors, game stats displayed](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/deadpool-deep-dive/inline/6839c1e7c94e3f59449fea90_65652b23889d9fa46b2d8831_Screen-Shot-2018-08-21-at-6.03.56-PM.png) - Megalodon: ?
