v2 Card Notes:
<\/strong>(Info that couldn’t fit and other clarifications.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intro Side:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disco Multiball <\/strong>(via the left spinner): The top left of the LCD will tell you how many kits are left to the spinner to start it. It’s in an auto-hide box that comes down from the top, so it only appears during spinner hits and holds only for a few seconds before hiding again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“End-of-Ball Bonus<\/strong>: Weapons, Ninjas and Chimis.”: Weapons (gun icon) are collected from combos white shots<\/strong>, Ninjas (ninja star icon) are collected from blue shots<\/strong> hit after being spawned from the pop bumpers, Chimis (Chimichangas) collected from orange shots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stacking Multiballs with Battle or Quest:<\/strong> You need to start the battle or quest FIRST. The only exception is when you’ve locked Lil’ Deadpool for the Multiball but haven’t released the ball (locked behind the OOF targets yet; you can hit the scoop and choose before an OOF target it hit, or the ball is released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Advanced Side:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left Side:
Ninja Star icon = Ninjas defeated: Collect Ninjas from spawning blue shots from the pop bumpers then hitting them. Ninjas\/Ninja Stars are used for the starting value of Ninja MB jackpots as well as the EOB bonus. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the System-J cards, this arrow, when between wording is used to denote “, then hit”.
Eg. Hit lit shot (, then hit<\/em>) right ramp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stacking Multiballs:
<\/strong>A good way to get further in the game (in both score and progress) is to stack a Multiball into a Battle or Quest. Stacking is where you have multiple modes running at the same time. All modes and multiballs do not stack though, and this is one of the main reasons learning the rules will increase your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lil’ Deadpool is a good place to start. Hitting the OOF targets and the Lil’ Deadpool target behind it will start the multiball. What you want to practice is hitting the targets down and hit the target once or twice (but not again after it’s cycling colours), then start a Battle or a Quest at the scoop; THEN <\/em>hit the Lil’ Deadpool target until the Multiball starts. You’ll now not only have 2 balls to help win the mode, but also a ball saver that will start with the multiball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note on stacking multiballs: Lil’ Deadpool and Ninja Multiball are the only 2 stackable multiballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOOM lanes and Bombs:
<\/strong>It helps to know how and when to use your action button in gameplay. First, whenever the ball in about to go through an inlane, be sure to cycle the BOOM letters so that you are hitting an un-lit <\/strong>rollover. One BOOM is spelled, the inserts all un-light again and the action button will start flashing. Don’t hit it yet. Wait for a good moment in the game, say for instance when you are in a battle you can hit it to spot a shot that you find hard to hit. Or say if you have the ball under control and there’s only one shot left to an enemy. You can use the bomb and then focus your attention to the scoop for the ‘Deadpool wins’ final blow Jackpot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
