Time Warp

Williams 1979 EM
Strategy updated: July 4, 2026

Note: Time Warp by default has curved, or banana, flippers. Shots will be later on the flipper than a standard straight flipper would be.

Strategy

Concentrate on making the right dead end lane target often (10K). Increase to 30K by completing the 5 drop bank on the right or collecting the 30K lit award from the top left saucer. Collect the bonus at the right saucer from the dead end lane return. The 5 drop bank also increases bonus X, and collecting bonus does not reset it.

Skill Shot

Plunge to the top saucer, it scores the lit reward. Ideally you want to collect the light right dead end lane target for 30K and 3 bonus advances
