Profile

Danger Room is a game mode featured in Stern Pinball's X-Men pinball machines, first appearing as one of two wizard modes in X-Men LE (2012). It has evolved across different X-Men pinball iterations, becoming a playfield area/ramp element in The Uncanny X-Men that adds complexity to multiball sequences and features progressive difficulty with increasing scoring multipliers. The mode represents a key gameplay challenge within the X-Men pinball franchise.
