Baywatch pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Baywatch lights each left-ramp lock by completing the three-bank; the third lock starts five-ball Multiball. During Multiball, collect the five different Swimmer Jackpots, then take the SHARK and side-ramp Supers before following the roving Baywatch Jackpot. Normal modes and Search & Rescue supply progress between starts.
The goal
Knock down all three drop targets to light locks at the left ramp, collect three locks to start five-ball Multiball, then collect the five Swimmer Jackpots and both Super Jackpots.
Start Multiball

Collect five Swimmer Jackpots
During Multiball, shoot the lit left ramp, center ramp, upper VUK, right ramp, and spinner lane once each for their Swimmer Jackpots.
Collect the Supers
After all five Jackpots, shoot the Shark Super Scoop for Super Jackpot, then the side ramp for Double Super Jackpot. Follow the lit Surf Board insert through the left ramp, center ramp, upper VUK, right ramp, and spinner lane for the Baywatch Jackpot.
