Carnival pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Advance the CARNIVAL letters to open the bonus pocket at C-A-R-N. The playfield also offers Special targets and rollover buttons when lit.
Open the bonus pocket: Hit targets or roll through the upper side lanes marked Advance Carnival. Spelling C-A-R-N opens the gated pocket between the midfield flippers. Put the ball into that pocket to collect the bonus.
Collect lit Specials: Hit a Special target at the lower end of either central triangular bumper group, or roll over a Special button below the lower flippers, when the corresponding Special light is on.
Need to know
- Ball resets
- Carnival letter progress and bonus reset each ball. Follow the current letter and bonus lights.
- Players and tilt
- One or two can play. Players take turns shooting, and a tilt disqualifies only the player who tilted.
