A full-length electro-mechanical playfield photographed flat under a glass top, with chrome side rails framing a dark blue and black field spangled with white starbursts and gold scrollwork. A large cream and gold ribbon banner sweeps across the lower third carrying the ornate title lettering, above which sits a red wedge reading SHOOT AGAIN and a fan of scored lanes marked 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000, 10000 and 30000. Two round pop bumper caps with star-and-ray emblems sit in the upper half, surrounded by yellow plastic lanes, red posts and a large looping wire ramp. At lower left a painted blonde woman in a red bodice with a flowing red skirt raises one arm. The lower apron carries a white INSTRUCTIONS card at each corner, an orange FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY plaque, and a large white star at bottom centre.

Painted pinball backglass built around a large central oval. The title COSMIC PRINCESS arcs across the top in curved red block letters with yellow outline and a white starburst breaking through the middle. Inside the oval stands a full-length blonde woman in a red bikini top, red loincloth belt with a star buckle, arm bands and a beaded necklace; long flowing yellow hair, one hand raised palm-out beside her face, the other arm hanging down holding a thin rod. Behind her a ring of grey-blue circular medallions, each containing a small zodiac-like head, is topped by a spiky white star. The surrounding field is deep blue and purple with scattered yellow, white and red stars. At upper left two nude blonde women in acrobatic poses lift a glass sphere showing a snow-capped mountain reflection; a smaller version of that sphere sits lower left. On the right, four red score windows are stacked, each with a large red player number 1, 2, 3, 4 in a purple oval medallion. Two blue rectangular windows mid-lower centre show white swirling nebula ovals. A red bar across the bottom carries GAME OVER, MATCH and 1 2 3 4 in yellow circles. Red roses and green leaves appear in gold frames at the sides.
