NBA FastBreak (Bally, 1997) has an interesting mechanical mini game that a lot of players miss, mostly thanks to the whole system being obstructed unless you study the playfield before playing.

This feature, called In the paint, recreates the classic mechanical basket ball game toy with a real pinball.

There are 4 saucers arranged in an arc around a basket ball hoop. Each saucer has a habitrail aimed from the saucer into the hoop. The saucers have kickers to move the ball sideways with mild force and upwards really hard, making the ball go into the hoop.

There's also a computer controlled defender player that moves along the arc. If it's positioned in front of a saucer, it blocks upward moving ball from going to the habitrail.

When this mini game is activated, you have a brief moment to try to distract the computer controlled player by passing the ball between the saucers and then hit the ball launch button to attempt to take the shot.

In addition to giving points, making a goal from all 4 positions starts Around the world multiball.
