 Voltorb Flip was described in a pre-release review as "a cross between {{wp|Nonogram|Picross}} and {{wp|Minesweeper (video game)|Minesweeper}}".<ref name="Officialnintendomagazine">[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=14990 Pre-release review from Official Nintendo Magazine]</ref> It features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (multiplier cards which affect the player's coins) and {{p|Voltorb}} (which {{m|Selfdestruct}}).
-Flipping a multiplier card will give the player that many coins on the first card, or multiply the total by the number flipped for all subsequent flips. Higher levels have more multiplier cards, therefore producing larger payouts. Flipping a Voltorb will cause the player to lose all coins earned during the current string of multipliers. Flipping a Voltorb also ends the game. If the player flipped fewer multiplier cards before the Voltorb than the current level number, he or she drops down to the level equal to the number of multiplier cards flipped. For example, flipping fewer than two cards will cause the player to regress to level 1. At any time, the player can Quit instead of flipping more cards to end the game and permanently keep earned coins (though the level drop down rule still applies); doing so counts as a loss in terms of the next round. The player wins and advances one level by finding all of the ×2 and ×3 multiplier cards. Winning or Quitting, as before, will earn the player [[Coin]]s, which can be traded for prizes. Level 8 is achieved by winning five games in a row of any level having flipped eight or more multiplier cards in each of these five games (in the fifth game, you can Quit having flipped eight or more multiplier cards and still advance to level 8). Exiting the game will reset the player to level 1.

 There is also a "Memo" mode where the player can set symbols with the Voltorb and the numbers 1 to 3 on every field which has not yet been flipped up in the current game. This can be used to indicate whether, for example, the player thinks a given tile can contain a 2× or 3× multiplier or only a Voltorb or a 1× multiplier.
-Once the player earns the maximum of 50,000 coins, he or she will be exited from the game and will be unable to play further until spending some coins.
+Once the player earns the maximum of 50,000 coins, they will be exited from the game and will be unable to play further until spending some coins.
 In each level, a certain range of coins can be obtained, and a certain number of Voltorb can be present. The higher the level, the more coins that can be obtained:

 The Voltorb Flip game is likely included to provide a fun alternative to the slot machines. The initial reviews of the game were positive, with the [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] stating the game is "awesome".<ref name="Officialnintendomagazine"/>
-Voltorb Flip also does not require money to be played, with the player only losing the [[coin]]s he or she collected from the game.
