Strategy

Move Yer Car Strat

  • Shoot the center shot five times to begin the round.

  • Then the center shot counts down from 8M to 3M; shoot it!  If you're successful,

  • the center shot is then lit for 2x, 3x, then 4x the collected value,

  • all in the next 15 seconds. (Perfect mode is worth 80 million)

  • After the round ends, you must make eight more center shots to start it again.

Skill Shot

Dropping the ball into the flashing PAID lane completes PAID for a bonus multiplier and "L" toward multiball.

Plunging past the PAID lanes is a timed skill shot, which awards from one to all of the letters in "KISS".  After collecting "KISS" from this skill shot, it will only spot one letter in "KISS" from then on.

Ruleset

Complete FILM to start multiball

  • F - Kiss shots - left side

  • I - Menu targets

    • Safer to shoot the hole in the middle of the PF to spot a menu shot

    • From right flipper backhand the ramp into the snack bar hole

  • L - Paid lanes on the top

    • Shoot the lanes via the middle shot to the left of the hole

    • Give the machine a bump on the right side to get the return off the wall to the right flipper

  • M - the slide on the right

  • Shoot "M" again to start multiball

    • You can live catch the ball kick out on the left flipper

In multi-ball, shoot the F, I, and M shot - one of them will find the creature.

Then, shoot the hole twice

You can restart the multiball if you drain one ball by shooting the snack bar (hole)
