Best Monster Bash Remake Pinball Mods

Monster Bash is one of those pinball machines that seems almost impossible to improve upon.

Originally released by Williams in 1998 and designed by George Gomez, it became one of the most beloved games of the late Williams era. Chicago Gaming brought it back as the Monster Bash Remake in 2018, keeping the original layout and character while giving it modern hardware, lighting and updated versions.

That makes the Remake particularly interesting to customise. It already has an enormous amount of personality, so the best mods are the ones that extend that artwork rather than competing with it.

Here are some of our favourite Monster Bash Remake pinball mods.

Monster Bash Remake WizPanels

If there is one mod we would recommend first for the Monster Bash Remake, it is the WizPanels.

The speaker area is a surprisingly large visual space, and adding artwork there makes the cabinet feel much more complete. Our Monster Bash Remake WizPanels are magnetic, pre-cut specifically for the machine and can be installed in seconds.

The artwork fits naturally with the classic monsters and gives the upper part of the cabinet considerably more visual impact.

It is also one of those modifications that you notice immediately when standing in front of the machine. The speaker panel becomes part of the overall design instead of remaining a relatively plain section of the cabinet.

For owners looking for the biggest visual improvement from a single mod, this is the obvious place to start.

Monster Bash Remake WizBats

WizBats are a much smaller modification, but they add another nice layer of detail directly to the playfield.

The flippers are constantly in front of you during gameplay, so putting Monster Bash artwork on top of them gives the machine another themed element right where the action happens.

They also work particularly well alongside the WizPanels. One gives the cabinet a larger visual upgrade while the other adds a small finishing detail to the playfield.

WizBats are pre-cut, easy to install and made from removable, scratch-resistant material designed to handle normal pinball use.

Monster Bash Remake WizDoors

The coin door is another area that can make a surprisingly big difference.

Once you've added artwork to the speaker panel and playfield, the original coin door can start to look like the one remaining plain section of the cabinet.

Monster Bash Remake WizDoors add themed artwork directly to that area, giving the front of the machine a much stronger overall appearance.

There are also different configurations available depending on the coin-door setup, including one-slot and two-slot versions.

It's the kind of finishing touch that helps all the other modifications feel like part of one coherent design.

Don't Forget the Original Monster Bash

If you own the original 1998 Williams Monster Bash, Wizard Mod has mods for that machine too.

The original Monster Bash Pinball Mods collection includes WizBlades, WizPanels and WizBats, giving owners of the classic Williams machine plenty of ways to add more personality to the original design.

The original and the Remake share the same fundamental design philosophy, but the Remake gives collectors a modern platform with updated lighting, electronics and premium hardware.

Make Your Monster Bash Remake Your Own

The great thing about customising Monster Bash Remake is that you don't need to change everything.

Start with the WizPanels for the biggest visual transformation, then add WizBats and WizDoors when you want to take the customisation further.

The result still looks unmistakably like Monster Bash — it simply feels more finished and more personal.

And that is exactly what good pinball mods should do: complement an already great machine without taking away what made it special in the first place.
