There are several kinds of other pegs which are more or less useful, such as the green peg which allows the player to see where the ball will fly when shot or the purple peg that gives the player a bonus point.

The screen however, is not solely filled with orange pegs. The player still has to use a metallic ball to shoot from the top of the screen to clear out all the orange pegs on screen. Gameplay remains the same as in the original. It was exclusively developed for Valve Corporation as a free game for all The Orange Box-buyers. Peggle Extreme is a variant of Peggle Deluxe.
