Banzai Run is a pinball machine produced by Williams in 1988, and the first machine designed by Pat Lawlor. It has a multi-playfield design, in which the player can play a vertical game on the machine's backglass in addition to the main playfield. The concept was patented by Pat Lawlor and Larry DeMar, but due to cost was never used again.
Digital versions
Banzai Run was formerly available as purchasable DLC in The Pinball Arcade until June 30, 2018, when the WMS license expired and had not been renewed. Due to this, the DLC is no longer available for purchase.
It was released alongside Black Knight 2000 and Earthshaker! for Pinball FX on December 12, 2024.
