One elf per round is worth bonus points, indicated by a flashing bathing suit. Only elves that are on the board after Santa and Dingle have taken their turns count towards the score, and it is possible for an elf to be knocked off the board by another elf (although it is also possible for the elves to be moved into higher scoring zones after contact). There is also the possibility of an elf not advancing far enough to score, which happens if a player does not get enough power behind the snap. There are 100, 200, and 300 point scoring zones and a player can score 400 points if their elf slides all the way to the edge of the board without falling into the ocean. The player grabs the thong bathing suit that the elf is wearing, then snaps it to propel the elf forward. The winner gets the title of 'Father Christmas' while the loser loses his job.

The brothers make a double-or-nothing wager in a game of shuffleboard. In the sequel to Elf Bowling, the elves return, as they attempt to go on an island vacation with old Kringle.ĭingle Kringle (a failure as a used ice salesman) is Santa's elder brother, who Mrs Claus takes a shine to. The elves can also randomly move out of the way of the ball, and one elf can be decapitated by the pinsetter. One of the elves randomly moons the bowler (Santa). Both during the game and after a game finishes, the elves do a dance, shouting 'Elf elf, baby!' in reference to Vanilla Ice's song ' Ice Ice Baby'. Other potential distractions for the user are a deer that walks up along the bowling lane that you can 'hit' with your bowling ball if you press the right buttons, a frog wearing a Santa hat hopping back and forth across the player's field of vision (resembling Kalvin Kroaker from frogapult also made by Nstorm) if you hit him with the bowling ball his carcass is hauled away from the screen by one of the birds from frogapult, a white rabbit that also jumps and poops across the bowling lane, the elves mooning Santa (asking 'who's your daddy' as they do it). In Elf Bowling, Santa Claus gets revenge on his striking elf employees by using them as bowling pins.ĭuring the game, the elves say phrases such as 'Is that all the balls you got, Santa?' when the player misses their first spare opportunity or 'Gutterball!' in a silly-sounding voice when a ball is rolled into the gutter.
