Disco Fever

Williams 1978 SS
Strategy updated: August 15, 2026

Strategy

Build base bonus from lanes and left side drop target bank. Build Bonus X by collecting DISCO from the top two side bullseye targets. When bonus and bonus X are high enough, shoot the mid-playfield side lane from the right flipper and the alcove target from the left flipper on repeat.

Skill Shot

Plunge the lit lane, mostly luck, given the unpredictability of which lane is lit.

Key Rules

Bonus

  • Base bonus increases by 2K for each top lane and inlane, the five drop targets, and the bullseye target above the right pop bumper (max: 20K)

    • Avoid the 2 center drop targets (draingerous) and concentrate on the left side bank of 3 instead

  • Increase Bonus X by spelling DISCO by hitting the two bullseye standup targets on the sides of both pop bumpers (max: 5X)

  • Bonus X can also be increased by shoot the upper left mini-horseshoe when lit

A&B Lanes and Alcove Bullseye Target

  • The top lanes score 500 and collect A or B when lit white, and a bonus advance if lit orange

  • "A" can also be collected at the left inlane, "B" at the right inlane

  • Either A or B is spotted by the left mid-playfield side lane

  • Completing A & B advances the alcove bullseye standup target value (the right-most bullseye target) (5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 30K)

    • The alcove target value is reset to 5K once collected

Other Important Features

  • A&B and DISCO letters carry between balls, bonus and Bonus X do not
