3-D pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Collect the fourteen numbers to light replay features. Each numbered half lights a lower side rollover; the complete set awards a replay and qualifies alternating top bumpers and a lit hole.

  1. Collect numbers: Roll through the numbered lanes to collect their numbers. Use the 1–14 lamps in the middle of the playfield to see which numbers are still missing.

  2. Complete a half: Collect numbers 1–7 to light the lower left side rollover for one replay. Collect numbers 8–14 to light the lower right side rollover. Pass through the corresponding lit Special rollover to collect one replay.

  3. Complete the set: Collecting all fourteen numbers awards one replay. It also lights the two top corner bumpers alternately and qualifies a lit hole for one replay. Hit the currently lit bumper or make the hole lit for Special to collect.

  4. Spot a number: Any of the three center holes collects the currently lit number. The middle gobble hole keeps the ball; the two neighboring kick-out holes return it to play.
