Fingerprint: Animal, oversized sunflower field with dozens of blooms across the layout, raised gold title letters with red-and-white striped detail, three red pop bumpers decorated with yellow pinwheel swirls, rainbow-banded drop target row, translucent green lane guides, saturated cartoon colors with deep green foliage
The playfield is dominated by a dense sunflower field, with dozens of yellow flower heads on dark green leaves spreading across the centre of the layout. Oversized gold title letters with red-and-white striped inlays are modelled in relief and stand up off the playfield rather than being printed flat. Three round red pop bumper caps carry identical yellow pinwheel swirl graphics, forming a noticeable diagonal cluster below centre-right. A row of rainbow-banded rectangular drop targets spans the upper left above a translucent green lane. Cream-coloured instruction cards printed with black text and two red LED score reels occupy the apron at the bottom.

A brightly lit electro-mechanical style pinball playfield viewed from above and slightly in front, packed with large printed plastic ramps and moulded bumpers over a saturated, cartoonish illustrated backglass-style playfield. The dominant impression is a huge field of yellow sunflowers on deep green foliage, with purple sky panels and orange-red comic bursts scattered across the lower half. Large three-dimensional gold/yellow title letters with red and white striped inline detail stand proud of the playfield surface near the top, backed by a painted landscape. A row of rectangular drop targets with multicoloured segments sits across the upper left. Three round red pop bumper caps below and right of centre are decorated with yellow pinwheel / spinning-flower swirl artwork and sit on orange bases. A translucent green wireform or ramp lane runs up the left side, and clear plastic ramp bodies arc across the lower middle. Cream coloured rule cards and a scrolling score reel window sit on the apron.

A square backglass behind glass in a yellowed wooden frame, with four digital score windows, one central bonus/timer display and a row of four player indicator windows along the bottom. The centre is dominated by a single blonde woman in a floor-length, sleeveless, cream-white gown with a deep V neckline, bare arms and legs, standing full-length with both arms flung up and out in a wide V, palms open, head tilted back, mouth open in a joyful shout. Behind her is a huge stylised red, orange, green and black bird with a spread wing filling the lower half, and two colourful parrots (red, blue and green macaw-like birds) perch on either side of her raised arms. Her outstretched feet stand on a small bone-white nameplate. The whole centre panel is framed by an extremely dense border of painted tropical flowers, ferns, a large open-mouthed red-and-yellow carnivorous flower on the right, yellow trumpet lilies, red poppies, hanging vines, a sun disc and a pale flying bird at top left. The background behind the woman is a mottled deep blue and violet sky. Bottom right holds a small grid of coloured bonus panels.
