TL;DR

MBT3K previews work-in-progress Guardians VPX homebrew tribute table by DeFishbowl.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 (MBT3K) streams a preview of Guardians of the Galaxy VPX, a homebrew tribute recreation by DeFishbowl. The table is not using Stern's ROM and is a complete custom build created as a passion project with no monetization. The creator emphasizes the work is ongoing, with rule refinements and shot adjustments still in progress, and invites community feedback during gameplay.

Key Claims

  • This Guardians of the Galaxy VPX is a tribute table using no Stern ROM at all—it's a complete homebrew build

    high confidence · MBT3K explicitly states: 'This is a tribute table. It is not the table. It does not use any Sam Stern ROMs. There is no Sam Stern ROM in this at all. This is a complete Blackwater 100 homebrew.'

  • There is no money being made from this VPX—it is purely a passion project

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'There is no money going to be made from this. It is all a passion project, and it's all just, you know, it's all good.'

  • The version being streamed is three days old; DeFishbowl's current machine version is way beyond what's shown

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'I grabbed this version like three days ago or something like that. And we've already worked on some new shots for Yaka. Yaka has some different stuff. The multiballs have some different stuff.'

  • DeFishbowl initially rented the real Guardians table to build the VPX version but had to return it

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'He did rent the table for a little while to start building it. But then obviously he had to give it back.'

  • Guardians of the Galaxy has a rule set that is not very deep compared to Batman or Pirates of the Caribbean

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'Guardians of the Galaxy is not, um, a very deep rule set. Not like Batman or Pirates of the Caribbean, for God's sake.'

  • The release date for public VPX will be pushed further back depending on work completion

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'I'm gonna push it a little further back. That is up to The Fishbowl. Depending on how much work we can get done.'

  • DeFishbowl is responsive to feedback and quick to implement gameplay suggestions

    high confidence · MBT3K: 'I am literally giving like, you know, advice and stuff like that and gameplay tips and the fishbowl is just amazing at implementing them and making it happen.'

  • DeFishbowl took about five months to build the table piece by piece

Notable Quotes

    And then I got a notification from someone else to do NBA Stern, Stern NBA, which was awesome. But in the meantime, I got in touch with someone who was doing a recreation of Guardians of the Galaxy. Ken Swift, what's up? I'm so old I immediately recognize that. Remember um What's his name Billy Shoot Why am I forgetting his name Billy He was in uh No Sleep Tell Pensamula He was in uh Billy What is his name He's a comedian He was in That movie with that other woman Damn it Age, I hate you so much He was in Throw Mama from the Train Somebody help me I'm a mess Alright, anyway, Billy Crystal Thank you, oh my god Oh my god, Billy Crystal So I got in touch With some other Yeah, I'm a mess, that's why you're here, I know I got in touch with some other VPX creator, he's a brand new VPX creator DeFishbowl, he goes by the name of DeFishbowl, and he Took on the task to Now this table first started off as just Hey, he just wanted to build it and just shoot around on it And not really Not really, um Yeah, this is lit What's up TouchBuy? TouchBuy Palero He just wanted to shoot around and just mess around with VPX So he started building it in VPX And then he's like, well, since this pup pack thing happens, which, by the way, thank you, Nailbuster. And I'm also going to, I'm always going to throw Terry Red in there. Nailbuster and Terry Red for being amazing at helping us. Nailbuster for building it. Terry Red for explaining us how the F to use it.
    4:31
    He said, what if I start making it? Now, obviously, guys, I'm going to tell you this much. First of all, this is a tribute table. It is not the table. It does not use any stern ROMs. there is no stern rom in this at all this is a complete 100 homebrew so the fishbowl just took it on himself he got vpx out he got the pup pack out and he just started building and building and now he didn't have access to the table he did rent the table for a little while to start building it but then obviously he had to give it back so i kind of stepped in to say okay it looks great it shoots okay some of the rules are out the window so um there is a release date on this for the public but i i'm willing to say and if the fishbowl agrees it's not 1.0 final yet we are still working on rules because guardians galaxy is not um a very deep rule set like not like batman or pirates of the caribbean for god's sake but gardens has a rule set that if you don't get deep into it the scoring is going to be off so anyway this is a tribute table um there's no money going to be made from this it is all a passion project and it's all just you know it's all just it's all good so that being said when we watch the gameplay right now um the version that the fishbowl has on his machine right now is way beyond this version okay i got this version like three days ago or something like that And we've already worked in some new shots for Yaka. Yaka has some different stuff. The multi balls have some different stuff. There's a lot of different things going on at table. But if you are in the chat and you see, if you know Guardians of the Galaxy very well and you see something weird, please feel free. The fishbowl is right there. Agree. Things are missing, but we'll work on it. Yeah. And he is amazing. The fishbowl is amazing.

Thank you, little pump cup. librarian vibe thank you I love Polaroid let me try and play so I will say this over and over again this guy is not done there are things that need to be done that we are working on but I think now is the time to take a look at this because what DeFishbowl and Mr. H have been able to put together here is nothing short of amazing. It drains like mad on the left side.
    13:27
    It's nothing short of amazing. By the way, we have... Oh, that's... Alright, never mind what I was about to say.
    13:41
    That's not right. Don't panic there. You're going to get that for your stream. Don't Panic Flip can have every single redemption that I have. And we just haven't, little bubblegum, we just haven't gotten together to do the stream where I show how all these things work.
    14:04

A pup pack is a way, an extension to virtual pinball, visual pinball, which allows, and pinball effects, which allows us to have videos. um raid hype yes raid hype okay let's do something different um sanctuary much sanctuary is a mode where you can't use hadrons in sanctuary so just in case the fishbowl if you might have that coded where you can use You cannot use Hadron's thing. Sanctuary. You also cannot continue Sanctuary if you lose Sanctuary. I got one more target to get. That's not losing it, that's just draining. Pin up player pack. Correct. Who's doing this in VPS? The Fishbowl. He is, or they are, as I should say. They are in the chat right now.

    This is a loving reproduction of an amazing table. That I'm pretty sure Don't Panic Flip hates. But you didn't hear it from me. Actually, you did hear that from me, because I'm the only one who didn't.
    29:58
    Quickmon says easier from the back. Easier from the back left flipper. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, that left. Who mentioned the left range? It wasn't doing that to me like all day yesterday. Who mentioned that? easier from the back of left flipper i find for lock shots yeah you um or you can do the sneak in where you kind of cradle it on the right flipper and you need to sneak in but it's a little trickier um the fishbowl cookie monster for competition mode yes Nice. BorgDawg, welcome to the stream. You have any other tables out? I think this is his first... This is their first table. I think this is their first table. I'm going to put a few credits in because, you know, I can afford it. I just got a thousand bits from Ken Swift. I can put credits in for everybody. Who wants to play? Let's do Quill's Quest. Let's start with some Quill's Quest, which is a mode that I only use initially just to get Hadrons.
    31:12
    So if I can get as many Hadrons as I... If I can get my Hadrons going during this mode, I don't consider it wasted.
    31:24
    That's coming back. Oh! Now if I could just... There's a trick. Let me see if I can trap. No, I can't.
    31:35
    Let's see if I can trap on this flip. Nope. Alright, let's see. Okay now watch this, watch this If I can do it, it's gonna bounce Bounce, bounce over Oh, that's what happens with Quill That was mean game
    32:12
    Okay Okay, I did get hadrons. You can see it actually flashes. I don't have it inside the camera, but it does flash to say you've got some hadrons.
    32:27
    What are you using for nudge control on a cabinet, and do slap save and death save work? I'm using a... there's a gyroscope in here, or an accelerometer in here if you're nudging. It's really hard for me to death save with an accelerometer. You can do it. The fishbowl told me that you can death save on VPS. Like on a desktop, if you do it the right way you can death save on a desktop. I find it extremely hard to death save with the accelerometer. Your mileage may vary. And by the time I death save I have a tilt in here The tilt is already out the window I already said that Okay so I going to let you guys talk through the fishbowl a little bit And even rocking is just as unpretentious as the real deal Yeah, alright. Let's do this.
    33:21
    What I found in here is it's going to take a little bit more flipper to it. Let's get it right down there.
    33:38
    Then add SSF. I would assume that's feedback. I'm thinking I'm going to go K25... oh yeah, there's a thing. Running pin skate, smart move.
    33:55
    I'm interested to find out what this KI25D is. If somebody could throw the link in the chat to that, I'm interested. I'm always trying to upgrade those machines. I'm interested in finding out what that is. I only heard about it yesterday. No debounce on the tiltbox. No debounce on the tiltbox. I thought we could get a few hits in. So if I'm running a stern emulation If I'm running like Like I was running the other day A game that has debounce in the box Then it's fine Because I have a real tilt bob in there So the debounce is going to cover it Thank you very much Cookie Monster You're awesome This doesn't We don't have tilt code in here yet So that's one thing So the ROM is always responding to the tilt so if the ROM responds to the tilt it will debounce then my tilt will work too oh look at that I short-pitched oh and the timer's going off because it's smart all right I think this is going to give it to me now your time is running out
    35:16
    Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Jing, jing, jing, jing. All right. This is Yaka Arrow 2. I'm not going to go into Yaka Arrow 2, but it is coded in here. Well, I guess I am going to do a little bit of Yaka Arrow 2. And there is also the Yondu shot that you can hit. I can't seem to hit it.
    35:41
    But my goal right now is not really for points. is for a little bit of progress so we could at least get to something. I am almost done with the content.
    35:52
    It was amazing. All right, here we go. I want to start a multiball. So I'm going to use antiquities to start my locks and grooves.
    36:06
    Oh, that was good. I like that. Let's see if we can get more. Nope. Here we go. Look at that beautiful magnet. Look at that magnet correction. It's just like the real game. I'm messing with the fishbowl right now. In early code, it was slinging it out the lane. Now, some people unfortunately do have a Guardians where the magnet is just super hot. And it blings it out of the side. I know my time is running out, but I want to use this for group progress. Ha! I guess I can push the table all the way into the other world and she's going to kill someone. I just want to do that. Wow, Cookie Monster lightened up the chat with stuff for me to check out later. Thank you so much. much just going piece by piece on it yeah we've done everything scratch yeah so what when i built this i was going piece by piece it took me about five months yeah I don't know why I like that so much. It's just like... Did I make it? Oh, and I got a second orb collector too.
    37:48
    this feeling leaving inside a weed girls you just don't realize what you mean when you hold me so long as I still got you guys attention right now so this VPX is set to go live soon like I said we're working on the fishbowl is still working on certain elements, certain gameplay rule sets.
    38:25
    We're making sure all the second modes kind of work. If you're watching right now and you know some Guardians stuff, let us know. Hey, that doesn't look right or that doesn't look right. Just let us know in the chat.
    38:36
    Hopefully this will be in your hot little hands soon for you to play. It is very exciting. I also want to let you guys know I'm part of what's called the Pinball Network and we have a bunch of great streamers. Like these guys right here We have got So many amazing streamers We've got Faye who is streaming Is he streaming now? Well he might No he was just streaming Don't Panic Flip coming up next What the Flip on Wednesday Is also straight down the middle is Wednesday We've got just another podcast on Wednesday And Faye once again We've got a lot of really fun streamers they're all streaming real pinball. I also stream real pinball. And I love me some virtual and creations like this that are honoring the giants of pinball by recreating their magic. And that, you know,
    39:36
    it's all in fun. We're all doing this together because we all want to have some fun. What the hell am I talking about? Let's just play. Is the release date still set for what you have in the trailer, The Fishbowl? I'm gonna push it a little further back. That is up to The Fishbowl. Depending on how much work we can get done.
    40:00
    I'll tell you this, guys. I am literally... I am literally giving... Like, CODIS up. Look at that ball. Oh my god I love it! I'm literally giving like, you know, advice and stuff like that and gameplay tips and the fishbowl is just amazing at implementing them and making it happen. I was at my pinball streaming location today. Your time is running out. Ooh, earlier today. There we go, finished Yaka. Finish Jocko! Almost drained! Not a good way to finish a mode, almost drained. I was at my pinball location today setting up a stream, I might be streaming Iron Man on Thursday, but Iron Man with the new code. And I walked over to Guardians and I'm like, okay, let's do this. And I did a bunch of stuff and I took some R&D on the, on the, um, Guardians there. So we're still working, trying to keep it the same. Okay, cool. He's looking to keep it the same, same release state. And even when it comes out, guys, it's going to be the kind of thing where, you know, once you find out stuff, you can let him know and he's happy to put... He's further along than Stern actually would ever be. Let's just put it that way. Not throwing shade at Stern, but I don't know. I don't know. A lot of software houses don't release .6 versions of their I told you. It's all a game. Okay.
    41:34
    Love you still. Come on. Boom. Bang, bang. Let's get some pop bumpers. One. Thank you. One pop. That was terrific. That was absolutely terrific. Oh.
    41:55
    The same heartbreaking shots as in the real game. There's Nebula. Groot! Groot Lock 2. I finally get to see a multiball here. Groot Lock 2. The sound is good for you guys? Cool. Hey, the fishbowl. How are we handling the music in this game? That's disgusting. Man that Groot is, I mean that rocket is dangerous. Come here Shia. I got no handrails. I'm hitting the wrong side. Alright that's okay. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna leave Antiquities flashing. Leave Antiquities flashing. See if we can go into We're in a dangerous spot right now Because Ute's mouth is open And you don't want to start Ball save You don't want to start that multi-ball Get that mystery pinball You don't want to start that thing before it starts Let's do pot chase There are very well on top of the code The deal is telling me... beautiful. The fishbowl, you're the friggin' master of that.
    43:28
    That's a beautiful idea. Oh! What the frack? And I got the 0.3! What was that? Don't drain. Don't drain.
    43:45
    Oh! What am I doing? So it's crazy hard to hit food from that foot, so I'm gonna plop it over here with a... I was trying to do my Harlan post pass. It didn't work. All right, here we go. In the mouth.
    44:00
    Oh. Remember, guys, no tilt bob in there. So I don't know if I would have been able to get away with that before that. Oh, I don't want to skip. That's my habit.
    44:16
    Woo! I am Groot. Let's see what we can do. Boom! Boom! Get in his mouth! Get in his mouth! Oh I got it in the... Oh my god that sucks!
    44:35
    Oh! No unlucky people's blippers up! That's it! That's not right. Dang it! Alright I'm stuck with a lot of shots now. Don't make me show you that how he's here
    44:56
    Yo, so guess what Guess what I know how to do the Harlem Pills Pass I know how to beat a Harlem Postman. I'm the man. You know, it's gonna forever be called the Harlem Postman. That was a pretty decent ball one. Pretty decent ball one. My god, everything looks so beautiful. Well, thank you. Thank you. Oh, you're talking about the game. Hey, if you can't abuse yourself...
    46:02
    If you can't abuse yourself guys, right? He's in. Did I get a mercy follow for that? Don't make my time run out. I got two shots.
    46:22
    Hit a shot. Thank you. Wait. Okay. That was weird. I thought I hit that shot. I don't know. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
    46:35
    Oh! Stop! God, this game just... Ah! Thank you for the sub. Touched by Polaro. Thank you. That's so nice. Um.
    46:53
    I should take terrible... Oh! I have a question So here's the thing Anybody who's played the actual Guardians of the Galaxy You just saw that rocket shot, right? Should it be toned down? Or should it stay there? Let me see if my replay works You can take a look You can tell me Whether that Okay, so did you see We're taking votes right now Should Rocket be toned Down Or It looks bad The fishbowl, he's up for it They're up for anything They're cool with whatever we say I don't know actually Because I remember Rocket being that quick On the actual table sometimes So It's a tough call I don't know That was fast though Like currently the only defense on that is Not to flip So if you don't flip You're safe because your flippers are down You know what I need to be shooting through. And I'm hitting... Ah!
    48:28
    I did it. Boom! Extra ball one. That's right. You need four locks for this now. Oh, shite! Boom! Yo, I think that does need to be toned down. Bro, that's giving me a heart attack.
    48:53
    Oh, is this my first? Is this my first multiple or my second multiple? Straight down the middle. Right there the magnets should kick in to avoid that triple drain.
    49:11
    Alright, let's see if I can... Open this mouth! Got it. So two X-Multifiers lit, because of St. Rude's smile. Wait a minute why are you Ubershocking me Don Ubershock on me I still in multi Why are you Uka me Okay it gonna come back There it is
    49:47
    Oh! Ball safe! Why are you gonna do a ball safe? I'll take it. I'll take a ball safe. Hi boys and girls, this is Mickey Mouse.
    49:59
    Okay, I need to shoot the scoop. I haven't finished nowhere. I'm trying to force them with my own design.
    50:11
    I'm high on the ring. Why did you just give it back to me? This is how it is to be a beta tester. Don't give it back to me. Keep it. Do it.
    50:25
    Do it. Keep it. I don't want it. Keep it. Oh my god Okay, one, two, three, boop It's always the case, backhanded, forehanded, something handed
    50:52
    The most boring twitch stream ever, this mbtk trying to hit the friggin scope It's it, it, it Oh my god, here we go. Don't give it back to me. Okay, it's broken.
    51:18
    Alright, it's broken. Hi, Micah. Hi. This is Micah. So the fishbowl, I just found a bug. It's not going back into modes. I'm going to see if I can get... I'm Don't give it back and I may need to restart
    51:50
    We're still working on it dang bug I love you Let's see if it fixes itself Where am I at? Okay good now I can start another mode
    52:08
    So I'm a little bit away from Nowhere I finished Pie Chase and Yaka I don't have much more time Yeah I had to drain, okay I don't have much more time, maybe I can finish Nowhere Oh, this is tough.
    52:23
    At this point, I should pick Quill to pick up some Hadrons. So I'm going to go for Quill just to pick up some Hadrons and see if I can finish four modes so I can get Cherry Bomb, possibly. Oh, I don't have a Ball Save.
    52:40
    Ball Save's gone. All right, there's another thingy. Oh, there's a Ball Save. Oh, no, the Ball Save's gone. Oh, flipper was up. My bad.
    52:55
    Bounce over and sink it. Alright. Let's do... Let's do sanctuary just because it might be easier to not drain.
    53:10
    Boom, that's two. That's three. Oh, that was easy. Hey, what's up? Welcome to the stream. Lucas San Diego.
    53:26
    And I'm going to look at that again and realize that I read it incorrectly. Nice backhand. That one is hard, so I'm going to go for Ronin instead.
    53:43
    Nope, no, Ronin, not Nebula. Nope, Ronin Hey, I hit it! Holy crap Okay, so that's three And It's yes So, let's do Nowhere Because we're almost done with Nowhere Boom And I'm going to Bang on Groot Oh god, backhand, backhand way faster. Oh god, backhand's frozen! Haha, that's awesome.
    54:26
    Woo, I'm a bad mofo, right? There's a nebulous shot. You can shoot, um, tracks a lot. One orb collect.
    54:48
    I will catch up with chat in just a minute. Oh, there's my upgrade. Boom, boom. Bip. Oh. Drax. One more.
    55:44
    Wow, thank you. How are you? Alright, we have... an interesting situation going on right now. The fishbowl. Can you see this? So, at this point, if I've completed four modes, which I have, I should be locked out of choosing another mode. I know Cherry Bomb is lit, or is it lit?
    56:07
    But it should be completely... The only shot flashing right now should be Cherry Bomb. So we'll see. Let me catch up with chat really quick.
    56:19
    Hello, y'all. Lucas San Diego. What's up? I'm looking forward to this release. Amazing work, guys. Yeah, it is. It really is. It's really coming along really well. Touched by Valero. Lucas San Diego. Lucas San Diego Dev is in chat. So if you see something that's 100%, they want to know. Yes. Faye.
    56:39
    Faye's the one that's snapping pictures of me behind my back. Where'd you get a Polaroid camera? Um, just like the real table, wrap, rejection.
    56:48
    Oh my god, these are so ridiculous. Thank you. Alright, um, if I choose a thing... Cherry Bomb! Woo! Cherry Bomb, y'all! Woo!
    57:05
    Alright, Cherry Bomb. You have to collect all the shots. Oh my god. And then hit the middle. Hit Groot when all the shots are collected And hit Hadrons And Uh Oh god, oh Oh my god, oh this is the first time I got into this mode here Oh
    57:32
    I mean sometimes you just, you should just drain So you can get clear shots I mean don't drain that quick, don't drain that bad Bad, holy smokes.
    57:57
    I should be collecting hand drones and using them. 56, not bad. Woo! Oh, that's fun! I gotta give it up to Fishbowl. You have... You are so close, dude! Or whoever... I don't like using gender pronouns anymore.
    58:30
    You were so close. Guys, this is so much fun. No crash! No, I fixed the one little thing, so don't worry about it.
    58:40
    Alright! I'm gonna finish this out. Holy smokes. I am, how many modes in? I'm in sibling. So, the fishbowl. That's the thing, right? Once the player hits four solid modes, no other shots are available. No modes are able to be picked. Only cherry bomb. Once cherry bomb is done, then you flash whatever in your selection spell. So right now, since I launched sibling rivalry, it's thinking that I want to do sibling rivalry probably right now. And thank you.
    59:12
    You guys suck, you never let me pose or anything. Actually... Super Dimmie! Wazzaaa! Actually, Don't Panic Cook was the only one who said, like, hey pose.
    59:26
    Wow, that is hardcore. Yeah, and I promise you guys that Rocket will be a less... ...less friggin evil. Rocket is like war machine in Iron Man right now. That's how fast that rocket shot is coming in. Oh, I basically just lost my man.
    59:48
    Oh my god. Wow. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to play... Look at this. Alright, who's the last person to do something? And it was...
    60:04
    You know what? I got to give this to... Polaroid pictures. Ken Swift. Well, I got to do it. Ken Swift, thank you for the videos. What is your initials? I'm going to put your initials up. You have the grand champion score on this table.
    60:22
    Ken Swift, what are your initials? Come on, Harley. What do you got? I guess there's no time out to fishbowl, right? So I don't need to keep doing this What are your initials? T.C.
    60:50
    H.M.R. We're doing it That's who it is We got an H Boom, I gotta beat your score now M R Bam, 290 amazing score. Good job, buddy.
    61:09
    By the way, Ken Swift is also a creator of these tables and they were part of the Getaway duo, also part of Sopranos, so download those also.
    61:25
    Better add high score time... Better add a timer on high score initials. Do we really need to be that accurate like adding a timer really i want to be able to walk away and come back and into my initials in like two years um that's how i roll uh i think there's no way i'm going to get past that score right now i think that's terrific so guys this is the preview and it was still working. We're working out the bugs. You saw some happen today. It's recorded. We're on top of it. The fishbowl is killing himself to get this thing out here for you guys. As you can see, it is amazing. I mean, the back glass is amazing. All the assets in here are amazing. There's an ultra freaking DMD! I don't even use ultra DMD anymore and the damn thing is there. So, thank you once again to all amazing developers and everyone who wants to make these tribute tables. They are. Credits, Nail Buster, and all the credits are right there.
    62:34
    Let me see. Let me just check on chat, and then I'm going to let you guys go. We might go raid Don't Panic Flip, who has started his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle stream.
