As such, it has no box art and is difficult to find.
It was published by Squaresoft through their DOG label, though it (and Akuu Senki Raijin, which was released on the same day) would be the last games ever published through that label - Square would focus on regular Famicom carts from then on.
Moon Ball Magic begins with a fake-out, as dropping the ball in one of the nearby holes will begin an elaborate intro sequence which the player can control.
Whatever score they earn will also carry over into the game proper once it begins.
The game has eleven tables and the player can move to the next one by putting the pinball down a difficult-to-reach hole.
Later levels provide more points, though are more difficult as well.
About Famicom Disk System
Japan-only, the Famicom Disk System (1986) was Nintendo's floppy-disk-based add-on for the Famicom, hosting several games (including the original Legend of Zelda and Metroid) before they were later ported to cartridge internationally. Because it never released outside Japan and its proprietary floppy disks degrade over time, complete, working Famicom Disk System software is a specialized import-collecting niche.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Moon Ball Magic, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Famicom Disk System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
