==Modes== | |||
There are three modes of play in Pokémon Pinball Mini. | |||
===Quest=== | |||
Quest is the main mode, consisting of 70 levels. It is also the only mode in which the player will encounter capture levels. In addition, the Quest mode consists mainly of a mixture of Fill Holes and High Score levels. Each level must be completed to unlock the following level, a restriction exclusive to this mode. Upon completing level 70, the title screen will change to include Poliwag and Wobbuffet alongside Diglett. | |||
===Time Attack=== | |||
Time Attack mode consists of ten Fill Holes levels. Unlike Quest Mode, all ten levels are accessible from the start. | |||
===Score Attack=== | |||
Score Attack mode consists of ten High Score levels. Like Time Attack mode, all ten levels are accessible from the start. | |||
==Types of levels== | ==Types of levels== | ||
There are three types of levels, all of which are restricted by time limits. | |||
===Fill holes=== | ===Fill holes=== | ||
The object of such levels is to fill each of the multiple holes with a Poké Ball. After a hole is filled, it will close up and another Poké Ball will appear. This continues until all the holes are filled. | The object of such levels is to fill each of the multiple holes with a Poké Ball.

Although the timer counts upwards on these levels, if the level is completed outside of the time limit, the player will be given a "time's up" message and the level will not be counted as completed. | ||

===Capture=== | ===Capture=== | ||
There are only four levels like this, and in all of them, the Pokémon the player is to capture walks across the screen back and forth. Every time the player hits it with the Poké Ball, it loses 1 HP (3 if the target is hit by a power shot). When the HP gets to zero, the Pokémon will faint, and will go into the Poké Ball next time it is hit with it. If the player waits too long to capture it, however, it will wake up with 1 HP and continue walking. After catching it, the player is to shoot the Poké Ball into one of the provided holes (bear in mind that after it captures a Pokémon, the Poké Ball becomes heavier, and thus harder to hit far) | There are only four levels like this, and in all of them, the Pokémon the player is to capture walks across the screen back and forth.
