Indeed, you can actually 'rescue' Meeshell as many times as you want but the only way to complete the game is to reach 100,000,000 points. If you can fend him off for long enough to smack the boss up sufficiently, you can rescue Meeshell and rejoice in your mutual love! Then you'll return to the main table and she's apparently a captive again.
If he touches his nemesis while doing this the plodding brown oaf will turn around and start in the opposite direction. However, DINO-Bunz is able to take his normal form for very short periods here (as indicated by an on-screen meter) and can walk around on the table. If he reaches her, he whisks her away once again and the confrontation is over. The bosses may be formidable but it seems that the small brown fellow from the title screen is the mastermind behind the criminal activities that have befallen DINO-Bunz, for he is also found slowly walking around the edge of each single-screen boss encounter toward Meeshell whose innocent pink loveliness is found at the top of the screen. Groo! The 'sky' table doesn't look very pleasant.
Hitting this target once will add a blocker between the bottom set of flippers but if you hit it six times you'll find yourself trotting off to battle a large, scary boss who taunts DINO-Bunz with his captive girlfriend!
Only some can be destroyed by the ball while others just make funny faces when hit but are ever-present, and each table also features a small pocket. Much like the tables in the various Crush games, as well as all the usual bumpers, chutes, and twirly things, there are a suitably prehistoric array of creatures bumbling around each table too. Each is about two screens high and two of them (land and sky) feature two sets of flippers, one at the bottom, the other about half-way up while the 'sea' table just has the one set at the bottom. The game's blurb describes it as a '3-dimensional pinball game' but I can't imagine why they would say that since all tables are viewed from directly overhead. The 'land' table features the most 'normal' dinosaurs. This is apparently achieved by smacking up those pesky carnivores with a pinball - actually, I believe DUNO-Bunz is the pinball as he's able to curl into an impressively tight spherical shape - and there are three prehistorically-themed tables over which to do this, based on three primeval environments - land, sea, and sky. Oddly, an improbable back-story has been added here though, which casts you as DINO-Bunz (yes, really), a suitably cool/tough-looking green dinosaur who must protect/rescue his sweetheart, Meeshell (who's pink and has a bow on her head, obviously). This effort from Wolf Team is one that I remember and it has a lot in common with Naxat's series.

I think it's safe to say that interest in pinball video games was ignited for pretty much the first time by the Crush series and unsurprisingly it didn't take long for various other developers to try their luck as well.
