Strategy updated: September 12, 2026

Tilt: Ends game.

Persistent Bumpers: Oddly, lit bumpers carry across balls, players, and games.

Strategy

Shoot the center lane to the standup target in the back for 50 points and a potential mystery award of 50-300 points. This shot is best when it is ricocheting off the side rails for a safer return and additional points from the rail hits.

Skill Shot

No skill shot, plunge for control

Key Rules

Passive Bumpers, Top Lanes, & Pop Bumpers

  • The top 5 bumpers are passive; red, green, purple, and yellow score 1 point, blue scores 10. Hit to light them.

  • Rolling through the short lanes in between any lit bumpers lights the corresponding colored pop bumper below

  • Scoring 1 point on any target rotates the lit passive bumpers

  • Lighting a pop bumper increases its value to 10 and increases the corresponding colored outlane value to 50

    • Making a lit outlane un-lights the outlane and corresponding colored pop bumper

Center Target

  • The center lane has vertical rails that score 10 points when hit

  • Hitting the standup target at the back of the lane advances the insert lights in the lane

    • When insert lit white the standup target scores 50 points

    • When insert lit red the standup target scores between 50-300 points

Slings & Upper Standup Targets

  • The red and yellow standup targets near the top of the playfield score 50 points when lit, 5 points otherwise

  • Slings score 10 points when lit, 1 otherwise

  • Hitting any 1 point target rotates which standup and sling is lit
