The Bullseye:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All references to the Bullseye is referring to the Red\/Blue circle\/eye thing behind the center Jump Ramp. The ball has to hit the bullseye to register; just hitting the Jump Ramp is not enough.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

Sweeping the Drop Targets (knocking all down in one shot) gives you the lit drop target award plus the next one. Very useful on first ball where you can light locks for Trooper Multiball in one hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: The “Color Insert Guide” is a rough guide. There’s exceptions and alternative uses for the colors that couldn’t fit on the cards without looking crazy. …but these are the most common uses and should be useful for a player learning the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ORB:<\/strong>
– On the Pro<\/strong>: The left target right of the left spinner.
– On the Prem\/LE<\/strong>: The Newton ball on the left of the playfield (right of the left spinner)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

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

Mummy Multiball: After first jackpot at the orb (“M”), left ramp is lit to double next switch hits and lights captive ball for another JP (switch hits double JP value). See Tiltforums section<\/a> for full explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomb Treasures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I play with Madness (Full info on Tiltforums<\/a>)
Red shot can be moved left or right with corresponding flipper button. First red shot hit, adds a ball. Avoid green shots after that (except for under the ramp on Prem).
Pro: ONLY available if you have IC reader installed.
Prem\/LE: When under the ramp is lit green, shooting it will hold the ball for a short time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run to the Hills (Full info on Tiltforums<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modes:
Flight of Icarus: after 20M you can still hit ramps for jackpots until mode ends or you hit the bullseye.
Fear of the Dark: Somewhat of a hurry-up mode as the timer WILL NOT pause if you have the ball cradled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyborg Multiball: “starts at bullseye after completing all power features”. You also need to cash in your last power jackpot (or drain (which means you missed out on the jackpot; only if you have a ball left)) at the orb before the bullseye is lit to start CyborgMB. See Tiltforums section<\/a> for full explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of the Beast and Eddie Cards: (Left Card) L1=One Chance, L2=Two Chances 1, L2 info on Eddie Playing Cards:<\/strong>
What you need to achieve these levels. L1 on all cards will allow you one chance to defeat ‘The Beast’ in Number of the Beast. L2 of a card means if you don’t beat him you do not have to re-qualify that card. If you have all L2’s, and you don’t beat the beast (you drain), you will have another chance to beat him IF<\/em> you have a ball left to play.

  • On the System-J cards, this arrow, when between wording is used to denote “, then hit”. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Eg. Hit lit shot (, then hit<\/em>) right ramp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • More likely to be used on the Advanced side cards to fit more shot sequence info on them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Gravestone Target<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>
    \n

    The target on the far left is used in conjunction with the left in-lane; specifically if you shatz (alley pass) a shot from right to left you can get a bonus.
    1. Not in multiball: Spots an unlit X target.
    2. In Multiball: ?? (need to test).

    I couldn’t find space on the cards for this feature, mainly because even if you know the purpose, it doesn’t seem to be a very used feature of the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
