Tumbleweed Terror is a western themed pinball machine that Soos, Dipper, and Mabel become trapped in, in Soos's story in "Bottomless Pit!"[1] It was made by Ballway Games in Redmond, Washington.

History

Season 1

Tumbleweed Terror has been in the basement of the Mystery Shack for a long time, and has been played by people with user names "SAL," "GAFF," and "POO," who had all gotten the highest scores. In an attempt to beat these three, Soos spent four years playing the game.

After losing a life, Soos beats the high score by cheating with Dipper and Mabel, by tilting the machine, but the skull in the game realizes it and sucks them into the machine. Disgusted by their dishonesty, the skull attempts to punish them by using features of the game, for example, the "multi-ball" setting where a series of pin-balls are spewed from the skull's mouth.The trio plans to escape by pressing the off button, with Dipper and Mabel distracting the skill while Soos enters the inner working. However, Soos learns that if it is turned off, all data will be removed, including his high score. The skull attempts to suck Dipper and Mabel inside it, the twins urging Soos to turn it off. After thinking, Soos decides to press the "off" button. The game is shut down, and they return to normal.

Season 2

Sometime after this, the game is moved into the attic of the Mystery Shack and is seen in the background in the episode "Sock Opera."

Personality

The skull head on the top part of the middle of the machine wears a cowboy hat and talks with a western accent. It can't see everything that goes on in the machine, such as when Soos, Mabel and Dipper hide inside the cardboard tavern. However, it does control everything that happens inside the machine on the actual board, such as when it launched a "multi-ball" attack. It can be deceived and flustered fairly easily but it will not hesitate to punish anyone who doesn't play by the rules.
