Gameplay

Muppet Pinball Mayhem is a pinball video game. The game features local multiplayer through allowing between two and four players to take turns on the board.

Reception

Tim Wright of Game Boy Extreme considered the game to "play well enough" and feature "good graphics", highlighting the added "tricks, secrets and minigames" and "oodles of detail" on the game's pinball tables. Describing the game as "good fun", Nintendo Official Magazine praised the "imaginative and colourful" tables, but considered them to lack detail and "any real tension or excitement" to sustain interest.
