Tag-Team Pinball

Gottlieb 1985 SS
Strategy updated: August 29, 2026

Strategy

Two strategies to choose from:

  1. Alley pass from right to left to trigger the inlane switch to light the spinner, rip spinner

  2. Play MB, where the playfield is 3X

Skill Shot

Plunge to a lit lane to collect it and progress toward +1 Bonus X

Key Rules

Spinner

  • The spinner is lit briefly when rolling through the left inlane for 10K/spin

  • During MB this scoring is tripled

  • Shatzing from right to left and ripping the spinner is a solid strategy if you are comfortable with the alley pass

Multiball

  • Complete TAG and TEAM drop targets in left to right order to light locks at top left and mid-right saucers

  • Now shoot launch lane (above and around the left outlane) from the right flipper to start MB

  • During MB, playfield is 3X scoring, now concentrate on lit spinner rips for 30K/spin

Bonus, Bonus X, & Top Lanes

  • Collect all lit top lanes to advance Bonus X (Max: 5X), right flipper rotates lights

  • When at 5X Bonus one of the top lanes will be lit for a special (500K)

  • Bonus is only increased by hitting drop targets

  • When Bonus is 2K or higher one of the three saucers will be lit for a collect, base bonus is reset on collect but bonus X is held

Last Chance

  • Rolling through a lit left outlane with a ball locked in a saucer will release that ball to continue play
