The high piano has light bouncy and is reminiscent of different bumpers and various triggers being bumped and lighting up which is a cool effect. My favorite part is when the brass take over the melody, the energy takes a step up at that point and it really gets grooving then. One suggestion I have is that the balance seems to fall heavily onto the brass chorus when it is playing. I don’t think you would lose much energy if you turned the volume down a little on it since you seem to have reverb and chorus mixed into it to make it feel bigger without drowning out the kit elements and the pulsing bass. This is really fun and well-crafted, great work and thank you for sharing!

Correlation to theme
I imagined the different parts of Pinball City to be huge pinball machines. All of these are connected by a central hub called "Pinball Plaza".
Since pinball machines are pretty much linked to arcade halls, I tried to create a jazzy arcade hall theme where the player can basically select the next pinball machine to play, buy drinks or chat to people.
