You know what's never been done before in pinball? Smells!

It would be killer (and funny) to have various fragrances spritzed out on your face while playing. Let's say you're playing a pizza themed game, and you can smell pepperoni, sausage and fresh tomato sauce as you hit the corresponding targets!

There can also be other smells that relate to various themes, such as flowers, farts, chicken soup and fresh baked bread. The possibilities are endless! The question is...who will implement this scent-sational new benchmark into pinball?

I like it. To add to your idea, how about encapsulating an LED inside, so it looks like a glowing orb rolling around? In the meantime, I'd like to see fully clear, shatter-proof colored acrylic balls. They'd obviously only be used for games with non-magnetic features, but would still be cool nonetheless. Something like this:

Isn't the powerball in TZ also lighter? I don't see it being a problem if acrylic balls are the same weight.

I'd love optical illusions like this, and any other MC Escher-esque designs that could fit into a pinball cabinet.

Check out these videos. Go to YouTube under "perpetual useless" to see more examples of these strange but interesting sculptures. It's simply hypnotic to watch. I'd like to see a similar toys like this in a pinball machine, but make them interactive, low-maintenance and awesome enough to attract spectators to want to play.

I've seen these toys around. Looks like fun. Would be cool if implemented in a pinball game somehow.
