Pinball Scoring/Playing With

Basic Trope: Players of a game receive very large numbers of points for their actions.
 * Straight: Doing a Goomba Stomp on an enemy gives you 1000 points instead of just one.
 * Exaggerated: You get googolplexes of points for everything you do in the game.
 * Downplayed: You get five points for minor actions instead of just one.
 * Justified: Your score represents money, and you're being paid a lot for your mission.
 * Inverted: You get 0.00000001 points for beating the Final Boss.
 * Subverted: At the end of the game, your score is divided by 100, so you really only got one point for actions you thought gave you 100.
 * Double Subverted: ...Then, your score gets multiplied by 1 million.
 * Parodied: The zeroes at the end of your score counter run off the edge of the screen.
 * Zig Zagged: Your score is displayed in different units at different points in the game, making it look much larger in some places than in others.
 * Averted: Every bit of progress you make in the game earns you only one point each.
 * Enforced: The game company wants the high scores on their game to be really impressive, so they make the game give out points like crazy.
 * Lampshaded: ???
 * Invoked: ???
 * Exploited: ???
 * Defied: ???
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: "I scored a million points in this game!" "I guess you need to practice more."
