Meteor

Stern 1979 SS
Strategy updated: August 16, 2026

Strategy

Collect all but 1 of the 4 interior letters in METEOR to max spinner value, then rip spinner on repeat. You’ll want the ball on the left flipper more often than not, transfer how ever you feel the most comfortable.

Key Rules

Each M E T E O R drop target on the top increases the value of the spinner

  • The "M" and "R" targets are worth more than the middle targets

  • Completing METEOR awards +1 bonus X (up to 7X)

You want to shoot spinner when most of the M E T E O R targets are down, getting all of them resets the spinner to only 200 / spin

Game does keep progress on M E T E O R letters for successive balls

1-2-3 Bonus

  • In the center of the playfield is a chart that shows the value of the numbered bonuses

  • Hitting any numbered drop targets will advance that numbers bonus and then collect that value

  • End of ball bonus is the sum of the three bonuses times Bonus X
