In 2016, the game was remanufactured as part of its "Vault" series of re-releases, this time with all the movie elements of the machine replaced with an Ultimate Spider-Man-based theme.[1]
The goal of the table[2] is to defeat the villains from all three movies: Green Goblin from Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2, Sandman and Venom from Spider-Man 3. Once the player defeats all four villains, they'll have a chances to experience Battle Royale.
There are detailed, vibrant toys of each of the four villains on the playfield[3][4][5][6] with an associated shot:
J. K. Simmons, the actor who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films, also recorded additional lines of custom speech appropriate for the pinball game, such as "Extra ball", "Jackpot", and "Way to go, kid, you won a free game."[citation needed]
This machine is designed by Steve Ritchie[7] and programmed by Lyman Sheats.
