Profile

Dipsy Doodle is an electromechanical (EM) pinball machine that represents a variant of Doodle Bug, distinguished by the absence of the 10K doodle feature. The machine has gained notoriety in competitive and collector circles for its extremely difficult and unbalanced scoring mechanics, with notable scoring challenges that limit doodle achievements to 100 points without modifications. It has seen service in tournament play, though reliability issues have been documented during competitive events.
