The Flower Power value does not reset between balls or players, always note where the value is before plunging the ball.
Trivia: Crescendo is the 2-player version of Groovy, a 4-player game with the same rules. This is the first Gottlieb game with drop targets.
Hit the center red bumper to increase Flower Power value to 200 or 300. Then shoot only drop targets or a lit flower lane.
The center red bumper changes the Flower Power value, shown on the large center flower insert. Value cycles 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. Hitting it after the value is 500 starts the cycle over at 10.
The best strategy is to get the Flower Power value to 200 or 300 and then no longer hit the center bumper.
Hitting any of the center drop targets scores the current Flower Power value. Completing the entire bank awards an additional 500 and resets the bank to repeat.
All flower lanes and the two flower standup targets score the Flower Power value when lit
The top lanes are lit according to which ball is in play, lanes from left (1) to right (5):
Ball 1: center lane (3)
Ball 2: lane 1
Ball 3: lanes 1 and 5
Ball 4: lanes 1, 2, and 5
Ball 5: lanes 1, 2, 4, and 5
The remaining Flower lanes and targets are lit according to which ball is in play, however, unlike the top lanes, once lit they remain that way for the game:
Ball 1: outlanes and middle right lane
Ball 2: upper right lane
Ball 3: upper left lane
Ball 4: middle left lane
Ball 5: left & right standup targets just above lower pop bumpers
