## Analysis

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams extended gameplay footage of Batman '66 (Stern 2016), demonstrating various game modes including villain selection (Catwoman, Joker, Penguin, Riddler), episode variants (Eartha Kitt vs Julie Newmar Catwoman, Surf's Up Joker), and competitive play with a guest player.

- [HIGH] The magnet mechanism on Jon's Batman '66 machine is not functioning correctly — _Jon states multiple times: 'That magnet is supposed to catch the ball. Are you kidding me?' and later 'That magnet doesn't work'_

## Transcript

 Hey, everyone, flee for your lives! Emergency. Batman speaking. Warning all of you to brace yourselves for big news. The biggest. Tell them, Robin. Holy suppositives, Batman! It's really exciting. Soon, very soon, Batman and I will be batapulting right out of your TV sets and onto your theater screens. That's right, Robin. Our first full-length motion picture feature in color opens a whole new world of thrills. The big screen gives us more space on land... ...sea... and in the air to challenge the most bataclysmic collection of super criminals ever. Their minimum objective must be the entire world. And here are the dastardly villains. The Catwoman. Oh, you're going to see the perfect crime when I get Batman in my claws. The Joker. Have you heard this one? It'll kill you, Batman. The Penguin. There are two eggs this wily bird is going to scramble, Batman and Robin. The Riddler. Question. Who's going to make the feathers fly and knock Batman and Robin out of the sky? See, the new weapons in the Bat Arsenal combat the forces of evil. the Batcopter the exploding man-eating shark Holy sardine! the relentless Megaton magnet the unholy quartet's secret submarine Fire on! Fire on! the Batboat in action The deadly disintegrator. The attack on the Batcave. Holy hallucination! Oh my god. What's up, what's up, what's up? I love how those guys were literally sitting there just waiting to be turned into powder. They were just like, yeah, when's my turn? What's up everybody, MPT3K here. Obviously you know what we're going to play today. Because I feel like playing... Oh my god, what an awesome trailer. What's up MPT3K here. We're gonna play some Batman just because I feel like playing some Batman Last night. I had a team game We lost but We did pretty well It was like a close tight margin of error But while I wasn't playing for the leaves for the team I went over to the Batman machine and I I went over to the Batman machine and I was like I remember why I love this game super fun so let's play some Batman, we're going to play a bunch of Batman Ty is here he might join me unfortunately no Audrey but we do have Ty so there's that I'm going to see I'm going to try a few different strategies the other day I did let me switch over direction. Alright, so the other day I did Catwoman but the Eartha Kit version of Catwoman which not a lot of people know you can get to. The Eartha Kit version. So let's see this. First of all, a lot of people know this but a lot of people don't. If you... I'm sorry Sorry about this one little strip of light, but those are our skylights. Hey, what's up, TurboGrafx? Nice to see you today. We're going to play some Batman, because I feel like playing some Batman. I know I'm up, Adam West. Just hang on a second. So, if you hold the right flipper, you can, with the left flipper, you can choose the episodes that you want to play. so I go through the Riddler Catwoman, what I usually will do is I'll go Catwoman and then I'll hit the left flipper because that's I think the Lee Merriweather Catwoman or the oh jeez I forgot was that Lee Merriweather I forgot but if you click the left button you can get to the Eartha Kitt Catwoman Eartha Kitt was amazing Catwoman And then maybe I'll go to Joker and I'll switch this to the Surf's Up because I think that's hilarious. Now notice there's fewer parts. I don't know if that has anything to do with how many times you can continue, but that's just how many parts it has. Penguin I don't really care. I might switch over to Batgirl so I can see Batgirl come in the game. And then Riddler is in the boxing ring. So if you're really super good at Batman, you can just pick new modes and go into those new modes. Maybe I might try Catwoman. Because I'm a glutton for punishment right in the beginning of the game. Looks like I'm going for Penguin. I find Penguin to be one of the most boring strategies, but it's the one that has the most points. Did I not hit that phone? I guess I didn't There's Batgirl There's Batgirl There's my girl Come on Let's get in the hole We'll go to the Batcave. Alright, Batcave, Batcave, Batcave, Batcave. Thank you. Now Bat-Signal to double all our values. Maybe... Oh, I got a Catwoman wrap. Damn it. Alright. So let's hit the... Hit the crane and then get the shots lit up. Take our mystery. What's up, Don't Panic Flip? You own this. You own this. And it's so much fun, I had to play it today. Stop! I went to read the chat. Uh-oh. The one... Shoot, no it does not have the 105 code. Any ideas of what the 105 code contains? Anything I'm missing right now? What's up Matt? Free Go Watch! What's up Matt, Matt, Matt! What does it have? Nothing really new, okay cool. How can you get... How can you... How can you make perfection better? Wow, that cream got out of the way just in the nick of time. Hey, Matt, it's funny. How did you know that I was even... How did you know I was even here? Uh, Joker. Number two Switch will no longer complain about da da da. Fixed size of the how-to play pinball. Reverse the... Oh, I got it. This wink is for no one but Matt. It's really super creepy, right? Oh, alright. There we go. Original Matt? How's the original Matt? Added SLE speech, added support for the Coindor. Okay, so it's a bunch of kind of technical fixes. Nothing really to the game, I think. I always want Batgirl. I always want to have Batgirl in the game. This is sport. So I'm playing with Batgirl right now. There we go. You guys know what I mean. No, no! A good save followed by a crappy drink. It's his spot, dude. Trust me, when somebody says Matt while they're at the shop, they almost always mean the original. I don't know why, this is kind of my guilty pleasure game. I love this game. This is such a good game. I mean, seriously. Batman. I mean... Gotcha. More points. More points! More points! More points! More points! Let us continue! Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. So do the shots get harder now? What am I shooting for? Oh, gadgets? Gadgets. Ugh. Ah! What was that? Depending on what Stern puts out next, I'm probably selling my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle when it debuts. So you're selling your Batman... Let me get this straight, bro. You're selling your Batman for a title. Literally. You haven't flipped it yet. Eartha Kitt. Surfside. Batgirl. Boxing. I know, Adam West. Chill out, man. Let's do Riddler. Back there, back there, he's just a back there. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, do you know how much of my childhood was filled with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? turtles. The creepy part of this is yes, I do know how much of your childhood is filled with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Let me try again. Everybody knows, George, how much your childhood gopher team through ninja turtles. It would be like, let's do... I haven't started a villain yet. Replay minor... Freezal timers. Matt, I feel bad because you told me you're at work, you know, at that place that we know you work at. And you're watching me play pinball. And I actually feel bad about that, actually. Oh, I need to do Mr. Freeze, don't I? since I started Freeze. I need to finish Freeze. I drained because I drained because I felt bad. So, not that this is an excuse. This is no excuse for bad play. But right now, I'm just flipping just to try stuff. I'm just trying different jumps. Did that not trigger? Oh, and also, this magnet doesn't work. Because the magnet is supposed to catch the ball. Are you kidding me? We'll make it through with you, Penguin. You'll be hungry. I'm going to set a tag. Wow. Was that Robin saying that? You almost... I've almost got... Wait. I've almost got... I got it. Oh. Premium game... Oh, you have every... You have every single score in it. So Matt is a bit of an excellent player of the pinballs. And where he works, they have a Game of Thrones premium. So he's literally lighting it up because no one knows how to play it. So he's destroying it at his job. Which is a pretty cool job if it has a Game of Thrones. Alright, yo, Smiel, stop it. Light him up. I have every single score except Great Joy. Dude, so you can show me. You definitely have to show me how to play that. Definitely give me a friggin lesson in Game of Thrones. Does the fact that it's the premium bother you? Or you're okay with that? Since it's free pinball, you might be okay with it. Yeah. premium as much yeah the new code so this guy you know you might know his name is Eric Eric W because I'm gonna to butcher his last name because I don't speak German or whatever it is. He showed me how to do, he showed me a little bit of the new code and I was, it was like totally over my head, but that was the game where he was trying to figure out the new code and he got like 13 billion trying to figure out new codes. It's a pretty good deal for trying to figure out new code. A warm Sunday in Gotham City. Let's do those. Sounds like he's an AA. I love it. I've heard he has a very specific strategy. Oh, really? I think mine is like 4.5 billion, but I was really focused on just trying to beat it for the first time. Yeah, just get through it. Getting through it means getting the Hand of the King or something like that. I've never really watched Game of Thrones. But I really like the game, but I've never watched Game of Thrones. I know I've lost followers by saying that, but I'm sorry. I just... Hand of the King. I just never really got into it. Wow. I was sticking it right there. Who that? The game and the show are both and great. Are both great. Yeah. I gotta get it. I gotta get it like a box set or something like that. Ah, crap. There goes that chance. The final two seasons ruined a really great show. Did you guys know that they were going to use the Game of Thrones guys for Star Wars and then they got fired? I didn't watch it either, but playing the pin was enough to be really annoying while my girlfriend watched it. Oops. Oh, that was a bad shot. That was weird. That did nothing. You son of a... In defense of this show, the last two books were really awful too. and I don't expect the next book to be much better. The story got away from G. Martin. Books one and three were amazing, though. So maybe you're just saying I should watch seasons one, two, three, and then bail. I don't know. Oops. Damn it. I'm getting TVs like crazy, but I'm not getting shots. Seasons one through six were good. Hey, George, who was that you had on your stream last night? You had a guest that I'm not familiar with. Oh, Christine. New to pinball. She played pretty well. I was watching, but I was watching on my Oculus Quest. because my 10-year-old still has trouble getting to sleep. So I sit in the room in the dark with my Quest on, and I watch TV shows and stuff. And last night I was watching Twitch, but I didn't sign in to the browser. So I couldn't chat with you guys, but I could watch. All locked? All locked? That's the most futuristic way I've ever heard of... You know what? It works so well. You want me to put... You want me to put one of my kids to sleep? I'm all about... Yeah, sure, let's go in the room. Let's turn all the lights off. Daddy puts on his VR helmet. And, uh... And, uh... We're going to sleep. That's the way I roll. Damn it. Well, there goes Shane. Oh, well. Let's see if we can get through all the villains. I'm not going for scores. I spent way too much time playing. I need to drain more. What are you talking about? Jesus. The way I'm hitting these cat ramps, you think I be doing Catwoman right now Oh my hand missed the flipper What My hand missed the flipper. I win. Jeez, I'm friggin' bread. So... So are you, are she, is she interested in playing more or is she just, yeah man, that sucked man, my hand missed the ball. Is she interested in playing more or is she just one off? Because you know, we can pick Christine against Audrey. Audrey's getting to be a good player. Oh, you suck. Whoa. Whoa. That's for Penguin? She is. She loved it. She needs to have that I'm hooked game. on a... Oh, yeah, when she's playing for a while and puts up a good start. She needs to have that I'm hooked game on a pin, yeah. That one game where you're like, Yeah! This is it! I'm awesome! So this is Riddler, huh? Riddler is... First Orbit? gateway game like here take a hit oh yeah it's good huh it's good stuff right oh i said i just want to finish him so let's just finish him i just want to go through them See if I can get through all of them. Oh no! Damn it! Alright, let's try to get a couple more... Oh, did you see that? The bowl hopped! Wow, that was crazy. Wow, that was crazy. Oh, God. Oh, God. Got a ton of my non-pin friends hooked by having barbecue outdoor. Bad cats. But who wouldn't enjoy that? Bad cats. Oh, yeah. Meow, meow, meow. Is that what you're talking about? Meow, meow, meow. Meow. Are you talking about the bad cats game? Oh, shy up. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, though. Oh, that's awesome. I think, yeah, we used to have bad cats here, didn't we? Meow, meow, meow. TV! Ding! Oh, I should have used the other chain, because he's actually, I think he's easier. This one is gadget targets. This could be a little tricky. I'm not hitting anything right now. All right, I might have to go for Gadgetag. Sorry, I got stabbed. Oh, my God, I haven't hit the crate yet. Oh! What was fantastic about that? Nothing. I have not yet even hit the freaking crane. Stop moving. Wow. Shit. I mean, shoot. I mean, don't swear during a stream. I could what? You could bottle that and sell it to others with clogs. Oh, God. Okay. Does Batman have combos? Can you make combos with that, man? I see it. It's right in there. It's going to drain right in the middle. Once the ball searches, it's going to drain right down the frigging middle. It's in there. There it is. Oh, boy. Oh, no. Ah. You suck, you know that, you suck. You know what I need George? I need one of those, I need one of your fancy cameras. You know the bokeh in the background? So I can run into bokeh whenever I drain. I'm just drained. Boca! Boca! That would look amazing with all those pins and lights behind me. Tell me what camera to buy. I know I'm on. Let's keep it at that cat woman. All right, we're going to blow this one up. Oh, wow. I missed the skill shot. Why? But you're the camera video professional. What camera should I buy? Because I don't want to use one of my cameras. I don't want to use one of the cameras we use for work. It's any camera that has a, that'll stop down, that'll open up to like a two. Oh no, actually it can open up to a four and it's fine. 4.8. Sony a6400, if it opens up to like, even a 5.6 is fine. But it's gotta be able to connect to your laptop or whatever. That's the trick. 1.8 on a 35mm lens. A 187 on an undercover cop Oh my god I've never made that shot before Come on Ring the freaking answer the phone This is not Oh my god I'm going to Yeah call him Alfred What's that other game where you have to answer the phone? That's, um... It's, uh... What's that mystery game that Williams made? WHO dunnit? WHO dunnit? Thank you. Answer the phone. Answer the phone. Dialed in? Oh, dialed in is a phone, but it's a cell phone. Let's do Mr. Freeze again. Alright, so blue target. I'm going to make one of these freaking things light up no matter what. Boom! Uh-oh. Oh, crap. Tell me what I'm doing wrong, guys. If you watch me play, tell me what I'm doing wrong. Can you backhand this? No. Matt, tell me what I'm doing wrong. Watch me play and tell me and go, Okay, dude, what you're doing is you're flipping too much and you're not flipping enough. I'm sorry. Player one, you're up. I wanted you guys to see the cool Indian head graphic. It's called an Indian head. It's the Indian head test pattern. I wanted you to see that. I wanted you to see that so you could... You're a million times better at this game than I am, dude? No, doubt it. Come on, come on down here. Come down here right now. Get up, get up. Leave work. Leave work. Up next. I've got my computer sitting on top of um... No, I don't have scores on it. I don't have scores on this. I- I- I- I haven't played- I haven't played this... I haven't played this in forever. I just kind of ignore it. But it's- I love Batman, it's a good game. Don't care, let's be done with Riddler. Oh, this is ball three? I could use Brian O'Neill's strategy where he can easily crank up $800 million on this. Like, not even a problem. I would love to own this. George, why don't you sell me your Batman? You're going to get rid of it? No, I don't want yours. Yours is broken. No, forget that. No, don't even... You can't cook that. No, no. Okay, I'll tell you what. Fix it. And then ship it over to San Francisco. Another glorious morning in Gotham City. Fix it and send it to San Francisco. Why am I always missing that? Oh, too soon. Can't hit the phone too soon. That magnet is supposed to catch the ball. I got Spooky to send me a new amplifier earlier today. I'll work on documenting and getting certain to fix it as well. Although it wasn't difficult. What happened to your amp? In your TNA? Did it break? Did something happen to TNA? I got some really good news. I couldn't do that. I tried to do that, and that was the dumbest thing to try. TNA sound died completely. Oh, my God. The connector on the amplifier was walking from the start. Dude, that sucks. Quick, somebody tell me how to do a 2x play field. Got it on stream. Oh, that was good. If you get a broken thing on stream, it's the best. Get out of the way. Why do you keep trying to go right down the middle? Because I'm a pinball. That's what I do. Let's do that one. That's more shots. Change the channel. You can see which shots. They keep getting in the way of each other. Oh, crap. Can I have it back, please? Thank you. Oh, crap. The Gordon stand-up? Isn't that just a shot multiplier, not a play-fill multiplier? I think. What the what is going on? What the hey? Ah! That was such a good run. That was such a good run. Let's see what kind of score I can get. Let's go into multiball. Maybe. Hey! Okay, cool. Thank you. There we go. Ball two off. Oh, I think play field multiplier is bat computer and crime analyzer. Well, that failed miserably. Damn it. 190. 190. Will do, Matt. Crap, I can't do that here. I don't think I can do that on the Twitch app. Can I? Can I? Grrr. Oh, cool. Alright, I'll check your email. I haven't checked the emails. Oh, I was saying earlier, like, I had some good news. But it's really only good news for me. It's at Outer Orbit, which is the other spot that I play at. Damn! Outer Orbit is the other spot that I play at. It's also an amazing restaurant. They have nine pins, and it's my team's headquarters. It's home base for my team, the Outer Orbit Otters. You're in next. Are you? Yes. The Outer Orbit Otters are getting better internet there, so I should be able to stream from there during the week, which is terrific because they are super cool, super good fun food. And... I'm starting to suck. Almost. All right, cheers. Woo! Yay! Yeah. So Matt, the nice thing about streaming at out of orbit is there's no residue on any of the machines because they're not putting t-shirts there. I would never look a hip horse in the mouth. I love Pringle Watch, but I have to clean the glass every time I come here. So it gets a little crazy. Yeah, and Christian and Elizabeth, the guys who run it... Oh, that didn't trigger, huh? Damn it. The guys who run the place, super awesome. So he was telling me... Christian was telling me yesterday that they... They're finally getting an upgrade to their Wi-Fi. to their internet. Their internet is terrible over there right now. Although, I think I've streamed every game they have. They do have... Matt, did you know that they have the premium Jurassic Park? The one with the... I didn't realize it was the premium until I was playing it, and the T-Rex went down, ate the ball, and was like... I was like, oh my god, you guys got the premium! Yeah, it is pretty far. It is pretty far. And to stream over there, I can only maybe do once a month, if anything. I could do once a month, but not all the time, because I've got to bring the rig there, too, unless I build them a rig, which I'm thinking of doing. So I might build them a rig and just leave it there. Because I have to build a rig for our streaming podcast anyway. I have to build a third rig so I can show people how I modified my rig. Gestalt? Gestalt is too dark. Well, I guess I could use pin stadium lights, actually. That's not... It's the utility, though. It crap for nothing It shame It shame Shame shame shame There ain no shame There ain no shame to a shame Woo! Uh oh. Ah! You were playing with your balls. Playing with my balls and I just, I blew it. it. It scored! Oh I thought you were saying stream at Gestalt. Best place to play weekend mornings. And they open way before Gestalt. Maybe they don't actually open before Gestalt. Now, don't bother taking your stuff there. It's one of the other places that I play besides Pringle Watch. And Matt has destroyed Team League. Matt and I destroyed Team League there last night. What do you mean destroyed? You destroyed. You're up next. All right? All but two points. Who'd you play against? So you were thinking about the Kapow? Kapow? Yeah, what is it? Is it a series? Kapow, I think, as far as I know, Kapow was another... So Stern builds the game, but Kapow is like another group that helped create it. But Stern put it together? I thought it was like maybe like a series or... Johnny O's team. Oh, clear. Player two. You're right. Yeah, if anybody else knows what Kapow is, tell us. The left flipper feels kind of weird. Hit the button. What do you got? Way out. Way out. Not too high. Let the other end. Ah! Oh! There we go. Beats you to it. Wow. Fiddle sticks. Fish sticks. Hey, watch that language. Joe Kaminkow's company, oh, Kapow. So Kapow is Joe Kaminkow's company that mainly does slot machines, but jumps into work on Stern Special License Cups. Oh, okay. Didn't Kapow help with Beatles? I think Kapow helped with Beatles also. It's a game that uses Joe Kamiko's licensing agreements from his gaming company. And then... What up? What up, The Arcade? The Arcade. Alright, Kai, I'm gonna kick your butt in this. You know that, right? You might. Your butt's gonna get kicked. Butts will be getting kicked. Better get your butt-kicking shoes on. Get your butt-kicking shoes on, because butts will be getting kicked. I shot the orbit because I saw the phone wasn't ready, but... It takes a while for the phone to get ready. I was going to do Beatles today because I have a fondness for Beatles also now. That follows back, too. All the Beatles and Batman go together, don't they? Same time. 64 and 66. I used to live for this, for Batman back in 66. I was four years old. Wow. Yeah, I was like, man, I remember waiting for it every week. They let you watch Batman at four years old? My mother, yeah, put it that way, yeah. Shouldn't have. You have a hard time keeping me from it Why you said a cat woman that's hard, but you're still kicking my butt Let's see if the buck kicking will start now because it's ball three I'm wasting Yeah here we go playing around with my balls again I should just maybe Flip 3 o'clock strum See you later George Was there a special edition of this too? Special edition? Not really. They didn't have any pros, it was all premiums, right? Yeah, it's not really. I think it's just one of these. There may be a Catwoman version, I think there's a Catwoman version. It's just different art. It's not like it's different shots, you know? Yeah. Wow. It's hard to play when you alternate because you can't get into a flow, you know what I mean? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. He's just going to play and play and play. Yeah. I like the say yo. Yeah! Nice! Yeah, there you go. You got it. You gotta give me a chance to come back. Oh look at this, you got a close AR. Wow, 21 to 22. You're going to give me a shot, right? To come back? Yeah. What do you know about Batman, though? He was a soft-pulling star. Adam West was. He was really funny. We're at Ward's still alive, right? Yes. We're at Ward's still alive. Okay, I'll go first. Wait, did I go first last time? Yes. You go first. Oh. Oh, this... Don't do it. Yeah. You know the button feels kind of weird? Yeah. Kind of crunchy. It's starting to get, yeah, well the stern buttons are not great. Alright, got to relight it. Yeah, it feels weird. Now I hit it. There you go. I made that shot today for the first time. I didn't even know that was a shot there. I knew. Where's the crane? No, you're a Riddler. You're an Orbit. Shoot one Orbit and then it opens up the other shots. I'm just reminding you. That was great because that was TV. Choose a season 3 shame. Choose a shaman all the way at the end. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Because this one is a little bit easier. You've got more shots as opposed to the gadget shots. So you're basically shooting the same shot. You're clearing two at once. Nice. Thank you. they do. may, That was my DOS impersonation. Right? That was good. Do we snack stuff around like that? Got to get that bat turn. Oh, it didn't register. Bat what? You shot it, but it didn't register. That one? I think you said bat turn. I said bat turn. Bat turn. It's a bat turn in the middle. What does a bad turn look like? It looks like a batarang. Does it? Yeah. Damn, Ty. You're still in that. You didn't finish the minor villain, but you finished the red load, I'm sure. I can't tell you how many times Josh does that. That guy is a little thin. He has a hell of a lot of wheels. Alright, you're good. I don't know, you pick. I'm kind of a Vincent Proce kind of guy. So he's going to give you the bonus. I like the X6. Yeah, I feel like 2 and 11. Wow. Monster Ball 1, man. What's the record? Six something? Oh, it's in the billions. Was it a billion? Yeah, it's in the billions. Probably, yeah. Man, you are just tearing it up. Alright, let's see what I can do. Hey, what are you trying to say about my stream, huh? Oh, whoa. Huh? Huh? Well, I'm just saying for me. You did get the $3 billion on Congo. That was fun. You didn't give me a game? $280 million? No. Not yet. I think it's pretty high. All right. Nice. Lock is lit. Lock was already lit. That was a huge waste. I mean, darn. I'm trying to get out of the habit of swearing. What is shift? Shift. Shabadoo. I'll do it with Adasta. I'll say Shabadoo. Cheeseburgers. Cheese and crackers. Voodoo. In the way, you stupid crane. I wanted to get a multiball started. There you go. I'm kind of working on stopping the ball. Whatever that's called. The flipper. Yeah. The different kind of passes. The post pass. Drop pass. I'm going to do it on your head. Oh, you suck. I'm talking about me. TV. Let's just get Shane going. The great Mississippi. Look, I got a ball trap over there. It's not fair, but I'm going to use it. This is no tournament. All's fair and love of war. All's fair and love of war. It's gonna find it. I'm gonna hit it. Yep. I'm gonna hit that ball at some point. Where is it? Had a ball! Yeah, I'm definitely gonna... It's up in the turnstile. I'm definitely gonna hit it now. Yep. You can't use them after you drain, that's for sure. That man's really deep. That's Shane, man. Yeah, he's kicking his butt. I want shame. I really want them so I can use them all the time. Damn it. No! I'm blocking one of my shots, though. See that? The crane is blocking the shot, so I have to... I kind of have to... You got to hit that one, please. I didn't get him. And now it's going to search for that ball. Here it comes. There you go. Nobody messes with the USA. I still haven't caught you. Have you noticed that? We got the 12 mil there. I'm going to continue. All scores are 3x. I have to catch you. Ah! Ah, motherfucker! Tell me about it This is painful No pain no gain What's up Split Reality Studios Race for impact. Ah, you suck. That's what this ball was. Dude, I had four times before I could get the friggin' monkey ball. It was like... I got a 4X. My goal is to catch you. Yes, sir. You're halfway there. I might bomb on this one. That was exciting. Do you know what I'm saying? I want to get a multiball here, too. Thanks, Split Reality. By the way, thanks for the follows from DRK. You got me. And Split Reality. Thanks for the follows, guys. I don't got you yet. This is ball two. Yeah. I might maybe do something. By the way, this is my best I've ever done. Really? 310? Nice. Keep it going, baby. keep it going. Still haven't got a game. Nah, I just wasted that ball completely. Completely wasted that ball. Wait. Play with your balls. Come on. Give me my ball back. All right, you pile of crap. You left that one. Oh, you almost had Catwoman. 318. You know what? Here you go. You're halfway there. Damn. I'm going to do it this way. I still didn't get a game. Wait a minute. There you go. Got the Joker. Damn, he just really wanted to drain, didn't he? Had a ball, yeah. You're going to catch, man. I'm going to try. All right. Can I get another out of ball maybe? 100 mil to go. Danger, really? Are you serious? Okay, maybe that was a little bit of a shove. I'll take it. Whatever it is. Ah, whatever. Is that 25 mil? Yeah. Oh, he's creeping up on me. He's creeping. Thank you Oh that was a shot right there If I made that shot, holy crap. Well, I can still get my... I got it. I took out my TV, but that would have been nice. I got one more shame. That's it, right? Yeah. One more shame. One more shame for you, Ty. I have to hit something. Come back. Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years. Uh-oh. Oh, no! Uh-oh, man. I think I got you a bonus, though. Bonus, bonus, bonus, bonus, bonus, bonus. Oh! That was a good game, man. We both broke 300 million. Oh, that was a friggin' uphill battle right there. You done? All right. That was good, but we both broke 300 million. Damn. Oh, Split Reality Studios. I saw every mistake that I made there. That was nice trying to chase his score. If I had hit that 2x, so you go for the bat cave, And then you go for the bat pole and then you go for the bat cave. Grab that shame. All shots 2x. Maybe I wouldn't have made it. I don't know. And this ramp was bugging me. What's up, Matt? Good. Just finishing up some streaming on Batman. Yeah. Ty steps up and kicks my butt. And then he walks away. He's like, alright, I'm done. I'm tired of this game. I don't want to blow it up anymore. Oh, quiet, Burt Ward. Tangy. Let me see if I can just beat his score? Let me see if I can just beat his score. That was 3-10, right? Uh-oh. Ball save. I no longer have my bat cave lit. I do. Get in there, get in there. Always a ball save. Oh! You don't want to go in there, huh? There go all my dangers. Yeah, that kills that, doesn't it? Really quick. Return to battle, soldier. I think you've got the wrong game, sir. If I hit the computer, I think I get 2X scoring. Oh, shia. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you know what not to do. Batman. Boink, boink, boink, boink, boink. Alright, I think I got one more in me. This game is so much fun! I got one more in me. And I got one more in the machine. So let's play it. This time, I think I'm just going to try and get through all four. I was continuing, continuing, continuing. Yeah, the high scores are pretty high. Four billion. Grand champion, eight billion. That would be Andre Slaminkov. Let's make sure we get Eartha Kitt cat one. You know what? I'm going to try and get Matt Henry to play. Let's see if I can get Matt Henry to play. He looks busy. Oh, nice. I don't want Riddler. I'll take him. I'll take Riddler. Oh, I've got Penguin. Oh, no, Riddler. Riddler, okay. What's up, Neil? Welcome to the stream. Welcome to my dream. My Batman dream. Well, it's not going to give me a second chance at that. Alright, Riddler, Riddler, Riddler. Let's get rid of the Riddler. I just want to finish everybody, so I'm going to just finish. I'm going to just finish people. It gets harder. Like, Catwoman scares me. What was that all about? All right, Penguin. Get in there. Get in there. Batcave. Batcave. Thank you. To the Batpoles. To the Batpoles. Don't. And Burt Ward's like, don't tell me how to run my life, Batman. I'll go to the Batpoles when I want to. Ah, crap. Give me a second chance. Oh. Oh well. Damn it! Next week we'll do Black Knight. The game I absolutely hate. Oh, that actually is a crane hit. Oh, the gadget is a crane hit. So save it until there are no shots left. Got it. Hmm. Some might think that was a bad move. I kind of think that was a bad move right now. Oh, get out of the way. Whoa. Man, I wish I could have gotten control of that friggin' ball for a second. Just for a moment. I can usually hit that skill shot and get the ball locked. Oh, it looks like I'm finished Penguin, so I'm going to move on. Just going to move on. Now I get extra ball licked after two villains, so I can get two... Okay, so I get an extra ball. What? Why didn't it just release the friggin' ball? That was epically weird. Joker, Joker, Joker, Joker. Joker? I don't even know her. I'm cold. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Playing too fast. Playing too fast. Playing too fast. Obviously playing too fast. Nothing I can do. Nothing I can do. Well, I don't like to leave the stream angry. Who won the previous one? Embarrassingly enough. Nah, he's a decent player. Ty beat me. but I crawled back from like a deficit of like 150 million and I creeped up Thai had 310 million and I think I creeped up to about 306 I I really really fought to get that 306 I pulled every trick in the book out with my limited mobile unlimited flip skills all right this is it this is it this is This is officially it. I'm just gonna go play for fun. Because playing for Twitch is like work. I'm working here right now. I'm working for you guys. It's hard to suck so much. No shame in losing with 300 million. It is when it's Ty. Nah, he's cool. It is when it's Ty. Nah, he's cool. Ty's my buddy. He's been on a lot of my screens, because he's here. Because he's here all the time. The other Matt from Small Change is laughing at me right now. It's okay. It's all right. It's okay. I don't care. Oops. Not hitting what I want to hit. What do you want? To see how things are going over here. Are you and Batman to get along? Me and Batman are not doing too well right now. Me and Batman are great. It's just all the villains. They're bothering me. To the Bat-Poles. To the shiny Bat-Poles. I think my favorite film back in the day was The Joker. Your favorite is Cesar Romero as The Joker? Yeah. I think he was the most captivating movie. Yeah, he was... You should have seen Cesar Romero in other movies before Batman. He's pretty badass And Batman was one of those things That was kind of like campy For him It's weird to see Vincent Proce In a token like that too Yeah Vincent Proce, yeah He's one of my favorites Because of the old whore fix Mm-hmm All the whore fix And House on Haunted Hill We need to get an Elvira in here really bad. Oh I know. I would love to get an Elvira in here. And the pinball machine also. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Cassandra? Cassandra Peterson. Cassandra. 70 and looking good man. Pretty old lady. She is. She is. She certainly is. I'll take that. All right. Ball two. Ball two. Locked. I'm so glad that Batman and Robin recorded all those call-outs during this TV show, knowing in the future there would be a pinball machine of this. I guess there was somebody who kind of stood in for some of it. No, they actually did their own voices. Did that what you mean? I thought there was somebody that was trying to... Impersonate them? No, they were real... Really? Yeah, he did it before he died. Well, how about... Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. His last hurrah. His last hurrah. That's bad, man. That's bad, man. You think it ruined his career? Did that... Uh, no. Look at his career afterwards. No, look at his career afterwards. I don't know. I don't remember. He did voice work for everything. He did, I mean, maybe his acting career was kind of typecast, but look at that. The ball's stuck right there. Fred Gwynn. Fred Gwynn was lucky to get another job. Trust me. He was Herman Munster, and that was it. He was a really accomplished artist. He was. He actually showed up in My Cousin Vinny as a judge in My Cousin Vinny. Pet Cemetery? Was he in Pet Cemetery? Yes, the original Pet Cemetery. That draw line is kind of hard to, you know, use on anybody, right? Use Mr. Draw Line. I am cheating! Watch me cheat everyone on stream. Everybody knows where the ball is, right? Did you see that? What was that? That was you. The boat was flashing with me. Oh, okay. Thank you. I didn't see that. I didn't actually see that. I'm glad you didn't see it. That was a good one. My eyes are on the prize. Oh, my gosh. Pow, pow. Where he belongs. Oh no, I didn't mean to do that. Oh well. This girl is hard to fight! Man, Catwoman, I swear. I wonder if I can get... I wonder if I can get multiball. There's a lot of shots to get multiball right now. Alright. I can try and hone in to the shots and see if I can get them. Oh, no. Don't waste the ball, Tate. That other ramp is a... Let me see if I can get some help. Uh-oh! Is it really? Okay. You have to light all your locks again. TV's looking good, but I'm not going to make it in. No more moves, ladies and gentlemen. No more moves. Ah. Ah. No more moves. Zero moves. All right, here we go. Let's just do this. One of you guys was supposed to go in the stupid... Got it. Oh, no! Come back! Oh! Oh! Really? No ball save? Or maybe I took too long. Alright. Thank you guys for watching. This has been MPT3K. This has been Batman. You guys are awesome. Matt, I will talk to you later. Thank you for following once again The Arcade and Split Reality Studios. Danger, Neil! I better move this back because I moved it like 10 feet across the floor. and I will see you guys later peace out Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
