From Surgipelago, the Beach Surgery encyclopedia
The pinball machine
The pinball machine is a rare, possibly apocryphal Beach Surgery pinball table. Its existence is bound up with the novel, in which the boy narrator composes music for Japanese pinball machines he never hears played — melodies fusing a Bach hymn with a Street Fighter stage theme.[1]
Collectors dispute whether any Beach Surgery table was ever produced; the only cited evidence is a scanned photograph in a Japanese "Learn to Speak English" book. The "beach" multiball and "wizard mode: WINGS" are described in collector lore but unverified.
