Strategy summary
The goal
Build bonus at the marked rollovers and collect it at the left-side kickout hole. Separate letter and number features qualify extra balls.
Bonus: Roll over Advance Bonus spots, then shoot the left-side kickout hole to collect the lit bonus. Collection clears those bonus lights; draining also collects bonus.
EXTRA BALL letters: Roll over Advance Extra Ball spots to light the nine letters. Complete them, then shoot the right-side kickout hole to collect. Play the awarded ball before earning another.
Numbered extra ball: Roll over all nine numbered spots, then roll through a lit Extra Ball When Lit location to collect.
Gates: Roll over Open Left Gate or Open Right Gate to open that gate. It closes after the ball passes it or crosses either Close Gates spot.
