Trivia

• Gottlieb came up with "Hyperforce" as a term instead of "multiball" which Williams had registered. Gottlieb used the term to mean "A multiple ball feature that plays in either 2-ball or 3-ball modes, with 3x or 5x playfield scoring", but to everyone it was just plain mulitball.
• In the promotional flyer the depicted game has a black cabinet paint-scheme, however in production this was changed to red-orange. Designer John Osbourne (also the Haunted House designer) stated that the tube shot on Mars was a direct steal from Bally's "Xenon". Just to be fair to their other Chicago rivals, Gottlieb also lifted the background sound for Mars from Williams' "Blackout".
• Mars was the first Gottlieb pinball with speech, generated by a Votrax SC-01, and it also had the largest repertoire of all the System 80 games.
