Strategy

Get all 5 star stand-ups, then hit the one that lights red for "special", lit shot will move, hit again, repeat

  • This is the only strategy if unlimited "specials" are on

  • If "special" is limited to 1, then continuously rip right side spinner (worth 200 per collected star)

Skill Shot

Hit white or green star near top bumper, whichever is not lit

Key Rules

Drop target banks raise bonus X

  • 1 bank raises bonus to 2X

  • then get both banks to raise bonus to 3X

Build bonus by hitting return lanes, star stand-ups, and the 2 small rollovers (one at top, other in the center of PF)

  • lit bottom lanes award 3 bonus advances

  • bonus maxes at 19K base

Left spinner value is increased by completing drop target banks
