Popcorn Pete and Friends Coin Pusher
A card-collecting coin pusher. Players must time token drops into the chutes for bonus tokens, plays, and card drops. A Popcorn Pete plush is awarded when all 8 character cards are collected. Bonus tickets are also awarded for each duplicate card. Found in UFO Arcade Raceway & Fun Center.

The first arcade cabinet in the game, Popcorn Pete and Friends Snowball Battle is a Space Invaders clone featuring the Popcorn Pete characters as the "ships". Found in Islandville Market.

Popcorn Pete's Pirate Plunder
A plinko-style ball drop game in One Eyed Billie's Adventure and Fun Center. Press the button to fire a cannon ball from the "SS Popcorn" and land in a treasure chest of tickets.

Outside of arcade games, Popcorn Pete also has its own brand of vitamins and is included as a toy in Kitchen Kid TV dinners, both of which can be purchased in Islandville Market. While not advertised on the bags, the franchise also promotes Cheesy Poofs, as seen in Popcorn Pete's Pirate Plunder and the trivia on Cheesy Chet's card in the coin pusher.

Trivia
