![]() In general, where the Premium & LE models featured 3D models on the playfield, the Pro has flat plastics instead. On the Premium and LE these are drop targets instead. The base Pro model features standup targets on the left and right lower-playfield sides to spell out D-E-A-D and P-O-O-L. In fact, the Deadpool Pro model is one of the least feature-reduced of Stern’s recent titles. It’s good to see steel ramps and wireforms used throughout this game. The stainless-steel left ramp is more conventional, returning the ball back to the left flipper. ![]() The top rollover lanes and pop bumper area with the right ramp passing overhead The sword ramp return The right ramp returns the ball to the right inlane The right ramp continues across the playfield above the top four rollover lanes, turning into a sword-shaped ramp similar to The Lord of the Rings, before depositing the ball into the right inlane.

The Pro model is themed on Deadpool himself battling a variety of enemies. Like his earlier Ghostbusters design, Zombie Yeti’s cabinet and backbox art is a riot of colour, and this carries over onto the playfield. So, let’s start with the base Pro model where the external hardware is standard for a Stern Spike 2 game, with a colour LCD display, two backbox speakers, a cabinet speaker and a smaller backbox artwork which is a translite on the Pro and Premium, but a real backglass on the Limited Editions. However, as we will see, the extras included with the Premium and LE models are less to do with gameplay and more about added bling and collectables. As is customary, the game comes in three versions – Pro, Premium and a 500-machine Limited Edition.
