This game capitalizes on the unique 3D visual capabilities of the Virtual Boy, offering players an immersive pinball experience set in outer space. The game features four distinct tables, each with its own set of space-themed objectives and challenges. These tables are titled "Alien", "Colony", "UFO", and "Cosmic", each presenting a unique layout filled with bumpers, ramps, and various interactive elements that leverage the Virtual Boy’s red-and-black display to create a visually engaging environment.

It also includes features specific to each table, such as mini-games and special missions, adding layers of depth and replayability. Notably, the game includes a cameo by Samus Aran, the protagonist of the Metroid series, in her spaceship, which appears in the "Cosmic" table. Released during the short lifespan of the Virtual Boy, "Galactic Pinball" stands out as a memorable title for its inventive use of the console’s 3D capabilities and remains a unique entry in the pinball genre for its inventive design and crossover appeal.
