How to Play

through that spinner, a 2000-point Bonus is scored and the 
Ball Splitter is activated for an unlimited period of time.

Drop Targets

There are five sets of Drop Targets located on either side 
of the center chutes and below the right and left upper 
flippers.

 

When all targets in a set are hit, a 100 point Bonus 

is scored for each target. If the targets are hit in order (from 
right to left or left to right), then 200 Bonus points are 
scored for each target.

 

This also activates the Spinner 

Bonus Arrows and the Ball Splitter is activated for a 

short

 

period of time.

Ball Splitter

The Ball Splitter is the star-shaped object that will flash in 
the center of the table. If your ball lands on the Ball Splitter 
while it is activated, the ball will split into two balls, which 
are then put into play at the same time, and a triangular 
bumper will appear between the lower flippers. If the ball 
lands on the Ball Splitter when it has been activated for an 

unlimited

 amount of time, your Score Multiplier is increased. 

There can only be two balls in play at one time.

Ball Savers

There are two Ball Savers located in both chutes in the 
lower corners of the table. Normally, when your ball enters 
either of the chutes, it is lost and the next ball is put into 
play. When a ball enters a chute with a Ball Saver on, the 
ball is caught, returned to play, and a 1000-point Bonus
is scored.

Glassies

Just like in real pinball when a ball jumps over a bumper or 
barrier, your ball will sometimes appear to go through a 
bumper or wall. Continue to play the ball as you would 
normally. There are no penalties or points awarded for 
Glassies.
