Aerobatics pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Aerobatics uses top play to build base bonus and a changing Loop the Loop award at the left saucer. Reach 100,000 base, cycle the display to 10x Bonus, collect it at the saucer, then shoot the red drops for 100,000 each.
The goal
Use the top area to build bonus and reach 10x Bonus. Shoot the left saucer when 10x is lit. After bonus reaches 100,000 at 10x, shoot the red drops for 100,000 each.
From the left flipper, shoot the right spinner to send the ball into the top area.
