''Deadpool'' is a {{Physical Pinball Table|s}} released by Creator/{{Stern}} Pinball in mid-2018. It was primarily designed by Creator/GeorgeGomez, with artwork by Zombie Yeti (of ''Pinball/{{Ghostbusters}}'') and voiceover work by Creator/NolanNorth as the title character.
Unsurprisingly based on the famous "merc with a mouth" ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, the player is tasked with helping him fight a trio of villains - ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}, ComicBook/{{Mystique}}, and the Juggernaut.

Noteworthy physical features include a ramp shaped like a katana (with a hilt that functions as a locking mechanism) and a bobble-headed "L'il Deadpool" figurine that responds to nearby ball hits and comes with its own set of modes.

* BattleTrophy: Both quest modes end in Deadpool forcibly extracting a tooth from his opponent (collecting their DNA in the process).
* BraggingThemeTune: "Boom!", which crosses over with ThemeTuneRap and is sung from Deadpool's perspective. Appropriately, this song plays if the player gets on the high score board while they enter their initials.

* {{Combos}}:
** Making shots in succession followed by the scoop will award weapons for each shot. Weapons are used to qualify other game features.
** Shooting the right orbit and then immediately shooting all the way up the right ramp will award Ninjapocalypse, which scores a value starting at 5 million and awards 25 Ninja Stars.
* ContinueYourMissionDammit: Failing to progress in any of the game's battle modes leads to Deadpool stopping his IdleAnimation to gesture confusedly towards his opponent.

* {{Dracula}}: Disco Multiball takes place at Dazzler's nightclub, where Dracula is causing havoc. The Super Jackpot animation shows Dracula being turned into dust from the light.
* EdibleCollectible: [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Chimichangas]] help light quests.
* FunSize: "Lil' Deadpool" is a stylized version of Deadpool that borders on SuperDeformed.
* GoldenSnitch: The [[ScoreMultiplier playfield multipliers]] gained by hitting the "Snikt!" ramp combo, among other methods, can lead to ridiculous scoring during modes.
* GratuitousDiscoSequence: ComicBook/{{Dazzler}}'s Disco Modes prompt the display to show one of these (to the point where the Premium and Limited Editions trigger a small disco ball within the machine itself).

* OverlyLongGag: Downplayed with the [[https://sternpinball.com/deadpool-album downloadable version of the game's soundtrack]], which makes you go through four folders before actually revealing the music files.

* {{Retraux}}: A significant portion of the game's visuals and sound effects are patterned after UsefulNotes/The16BitEraOfConsoleVideoGames, including the battle modes being depicted as {{fighting game}}s with life bars and finishers.
* RuleOfCool: The game's theme makes for a lot of this; ninjas randomly getting the jump on Deadpool or modes dedicated to traveling back in time to fight prehistoric beasts might not make much sense, but they ''are'' undoubtedly cool.
* ShoutOut:
** During Mechsuit Multiball, a chimichanga truck can be seen flying by [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] with a Nyan Cat-esque rainbow trail behind it.
** The WizardMode's VersusCharacterSplash includes the phrase "[[Film/JawsTheRevenge This time it's personal!]]"
** Successfully winning any Battle sometimes causes Deadpool to exclaim "[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Hyper! Combo! Finish!]]"
* ScoreMultiplier: There are a number of ways to increase one's playfield multiplier, such as hitting the "Snikt!" target (for a varying number of seconds), finishing Lil' Deadpool Bounce (for the rest of the ball), or amassing 100 weapons (for the entirety of the game).
* SkillShot: No less than four of them.
** A regular skill shot that follows the standard "plunge into the flashing lane" model.
** The Super Skill Shot-- hold the left flipper, then shoot up the right ramp for double the reward.
** The Super Secret Skill Shot-- similar to Super Skill Shot, but instead aiming at the "Snikt!" target for a ''much'' larger reward.
** Finally, the MXV Skill Shot -- still holding the left flipper, shoot the right orbit ''and'' the right ramp afterwards for a sizable amount of points and a Ninjapocalypse reward.
* SmartBomb: Downplayed with the boom button, which ordinarily only collects the highest value shot available. However, spelling B-O-O-M four times without using it upgrades it to a "Big Boom" that plays the trope straight, collecting every single lit shot at once.
* SpellingBonus:
** B-O-O-M lights the [[SmartBomb boom button]].
** D-E-A-D-P-O-O-L lights various awards on repeated completions. D-E-A-D on its own lights a Battle mode; likewise, P-O-O-L lights a Ninja Multiball lock.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Ninja Stars are one of the collectibles available in the game, either by defeating ninjas or by scoring the Ninjapocalypse combo.
* TakeThatAudience:
** Deadpool doesn't take too kindly to players who risk tilting:
--->"Quit shakin' the ''machine!''"
--->"Yeah, keep shakin' the game. There's ''candy'' inside... stupid!"
--->''[on tilting]'' "So how's that death save working out for ya?"
** One of the joke Mystery awards is "Can't you just be happy with what you have?"
** Also inverted; if the player is doing really well, Deadpool knows:
--->"Hey, everyone! Look at how awesome this player is."
* TakeThatPlayer: The 1.04 update added a lot of long-overdue leaderboards for almost every feature in the game; one of those leaderboards also happens to be a "Tilt Champion" - awarded to the player who manages to tilt away the largest bonus.
* TimeTravel: The Quest modes have Deadpool and Cable traveling to the past [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext in a chimichanga truck]] and fighting prehistoric beasts.
* TimedMission: Zig-zagged as a whole.
** Averted with the main modes. The Battles run on a [[LifeMeter health bar]] and only end once the meter runs out, you drain, or you win. The Quests don't have any timer at all and only end upon either winning the mode or draining.
** Played straight with the side modes. The two later Lil' Deadpool modes (Frenzy and Bounce) are both timed affairs, and so is Berzerker Rage. The Final Battle is also a timed wizard mode.
* TraintopBattle: Sauron Multiball depicts Deadpool facing off against Sauron on top of a train.
%%* UnstoppableRage: Wolverine demonstrates this during the "Berzerker Rage" mode, where spinner and bumper hits score more than usual.
* VersusCharacterSplash: The WizardMode opens with one of these, depicting Deadpool and Mister Sinister right before they fight.
* WizardMode: Two mini-wizard modes and one final, proper example.
** Finishing Sauron Multiball and both quest modes lights "Megakrakolodonus Rex", where the player must build up the jackpot value in order to expose the titular HybridMonster's weak point (the Lil' Deadpool target); doing so grants 10 seconds where they can collect the jackpot repeatedly.
** Finishing the Sauron team-up battles with the main three villains lights Clone Multiball, where Mister Sinister unleashes clones of himself upon Deadpool.
** Finishing both mini-Wizard Modes and Mechsuit Multiball qualifies the actual Wizard Mode, "The Final Battle". It's a TimedMission in two phases-- first collecting every team-up shot in 45 seconds, then shooting various shots to receive jackpots and concluding with the [[FinishingMove Final Shot]] within 70 seconds. Finishing this causes the machine to temporarily go dead, draining every ball, before resetting all your mode progress to begin anew.
* WrittenSoundEffect: All over the place in the artwork, as befitting a game based on the Marvel Comics universe, such as the "[[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Snikt!]]" target which increases the playfield ScoreMultiplier.

** Successfully winning any Battle sometimes causes Deadpool to exclaim "[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Hyper! Combo! Finish!]]"
* ScoreMultiplier: There are a number of ways to increase one's playfield multiplier, such as hitting the "Snikt!" target (for a varying number of seconds), finishing Lil' Deadpool Bounce (for the rest of the ball), or amassing 100 weapons (for the entirety of the game).
* SkillShot: No less than four of them.
** A regular skill shot that follows the standard "plunge into the flashing lane" model.
** The Super Skill Shot-- hold the left flipper, then shoot up the right ramp for double the reward.
** The Super Secret Skill Shot-- similar to Super Skill Shot, but instead aiming at the "Snikt!" target for a ''much'' larger reward.
** Finally, the MXV Skill Shot -- still holding the left flipper, shoot the right orbit ''and'' the right ramp afterwards for a sizable amount of points and a Ninjapocalypse reward.
* SmartBomb: Downplayed with the boom button, which ordinarily only collects the highest value shot available. However, spelling B-O-O-M four times without using it upgrades it to a "Big Boom" that plays the trope straight, collecting every single lit shot at once.
* SpellingBonus:
** B-O-O-M lights the [[SmartBomb boom button]].
** D-E-A-D-P-O-O-L lights various awards on repeated completions. D-E-A-D on its own lights a Battle mode; likewise, P-O-O-L lights a Ninja Multiball lock.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Ninja Stars are one of the collectibles available in the game, either by defeating ninjas or by scoring the Ninjapocalypse combo.
* TakeThatAudience:
** Deadpool doesn't take too kindly to players who risk tilting:
--->"Quit shakin' the ''machine!''"
--->"Yeah, keep shakin' the game. There's ''candy'' inside... stupid!"
--->''[on tilting]'' "So how's that death save working out for ya?"
** One of the joke Mystery awards is "Can't you just be happy with what you have?"
** Also inverted; if the player is doing really well, Deadpool knows:
--->"Hey, everyone! Look at how awesome this player is."
* TakeThatPlayer: The 1.04 update added a lot of long-overdue leaderboards for almost every feature in the game; one of those leaderboards also happens to be a "Tilt Champion" - awarded to the player who manages to tilt away the largest bonus.
* TimeTravel: The Quest modes have Deadpool and Cable traveling to the past [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext in a chimichanga truck]] and fighting prehistoric beasts.
* TimedMission: Zig-zagged as a whole.
** Averted with the main modes. The Battles run on a [[LifeMeter health bar]] and only end once the meter runs out, you drain, or you win. The Quests don't have any timer at all and only end upon either winning the mode or draining.
** Played straight with the side modes. The two later Lil' Deadpool modes (Frenzy and Bounce) are both timed affairs, and so is Berzerker Rage. The Final Battle is also a timed wizard mode.
* TraintopBattle: Sauron Multiball depicts Deadpool facing off against Sauron on top of a train.
%%* UnstoppableRage: Wolverine demonstrates this during the "Berzerker Rage" mode, where spinner and bumper hits score more than usual.
* VersusCharacterSplash: The WizardMode opens with one of these, depicting Deadpool and Mister Sinister right before they fight.
* WizardMode: Two mini-wizard modes and one final, proper example.
** Finishing Sauron Multiball and both quest modes lights "Megakrakolodonus Rex", where the player must build up the jackpot value in order to expose the titular HybridMonster's weak point (the Lil' Deadpool target); doing so grants 10 seconds where they can collect the jackpot repeatedly.
** Finishing the Sauron team-up battles with the main three villains lights Clone Multiball, where Mister Sinister unleashes clones of himself upon Deadpool.
** Finishing both mini-Wizard Modes and Mechsuit Multiball qualifies the actual Wizard Mode, "The Final Battle". It's a TimedMission in two phases-- first collecting every team-up shot in 45 seconds, then shooting various shots to receive jackpots and concluding with the [[FinishingMove Final Shot]] within 70 seconds. Finishing this causes the machine to temporarily go dead, draining every ball, before resetting all your mode progress to begin anew.
* WrittenSoundEffect: All over the place in the artwork, as befitting a game based on the Marvel Comics universe, such as the "[[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Snikt!]]" target which increases the playfield ScoreMultiplier.
