  • When ball is at top, lane change (if not disabled) to always keep HAM lanes lit. Spelling CHAMP is playfield multiplier until end of ball!

  • Despite the location of the pops on this game, they are usually helpful to keep the ball alive so nudge while you can to keep the ball alive.
  • Plunge to lit saucer so that drops earn 1k (instead of 100). If rubbers are fresh often easier to plunge incorrect lane and bounce over.

    Pin TipsPinball Primer
  • Shoot the right spinner and sweep the right drop targets all day. Spinner advances in value to 5K/spin. Sweeps have a chance to score 50k.
  • Left spinner is very valuable after muliball, and if you have locks already, each switch to kick a ball to the lanes scores 10k, so 20k+spin.
  • Lock 2 balls in launcher. Complete B-L-A-S-T O-F-F around playfield. Count down drop targets from 5 to 1. Shoot launcher for MB.
  • Even though 5x is the max bonus shown on the playfield, 15x is possible. This makes the highest bonus collection in the game 150k.
  • To advance the bonus 1x, either drop all 3 targets or hit the center standup.
  • "O" (right inlane) is the hardest letter: the least risky way to hit it is to get the ball rolling up from underneath.
  • The multiball is much easier to start the second(third, fourth) times; the center stand-up target will spell BLAST.
  • The least risky way to finish the top lanes is to repeatedly lock balls. Shooting from below exposes you to more danger from the pops.
  • The smoothest shots in this game come from letting the ball roll off a raised flipper to pass it. Trapping up will make those shots harder.
  • Depending on setup, the center post can be used to bounce the ball across from flipper to flipper.

  • Enemies "block shot arrows." Job shots and Jackpots require clearing any Enemies away from the shot (up to 6) before they can be collected.
  • Job shots give 5s extra time. Once per Job, finish Crate sequence again for a ~30s extension. May exceed the original 60-second time limit.
