Spooky Pinball’s Rick and Morty, released in 2019 and designed by Scott Danesi, is one of the most sought-after boutique machines ever made — a cult phenomenon based on the hit animated series, with production so limited that demand far outstripped supply. Coming from the same designer behind Total Nuclear Annihilation, it pairs an irreverent, profanity-laced theme with a clever, fast layout featuring illuminating drop targets, a horseshoe lane, a captive ball, and a one-of-a-kind “flooble crank” mechanism.

That flooble crank is the table’s signature gizmo: a long wireform that the ball in play strikes, transferring its momentum down the wire to nudge a captive ball off a switch for a score. Hitting the crank three times during multiball adds a ball and a ten-second ball save (once per multiball), making it central to your strategy. The scoring revolves around locking balls — shoot the flooble crank to light the lock, bank balls in the horseshoe, and shoot the center scoop with two balls locked to start multiball. There’s clever depth in the plunge, too, where hitting the inner orbit first multiplies the value of the noob noob or garage targets.

With its portal-hopping theme, its glowing drop targets, and Danesi’s knack for building deep, replayable rulesets into a compact playfield, Rick and Morty became an instant grail for collectors — a machine whose scarcity is matched by genuinely excellent gameplay. Crude, clever, and bursting with the show’s chaotic energy, it’s a modern boutique landmark that captures exactly why Spooky Pinball earned such a devoted following. Wubba lubba dub dub.
