Centigrade 37 pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In Centigrade 37, each A-B-C-D lane raises the top-right saucer by 1,000. Use the right flipper to return the ball to the top for missing letters, then shoot the saucer from the left flipper. After A-B-C-D is complete, hit only flashing left drop targets when their rebounds are safe for 5,000 each.

The goal

From the left flipper, repeat the top-right saucer, then use the right flipper to send the ball up top until A-B-C-D is complete.

  1. Use each plunge and right-flipper up-top shot to collect a missing A-B-C-D lane.

  2. Whenever the ball settles on the left flipper, shoot the top-right saucer.

    • Top-right saucer: Scores 1,000 plus 1,000 for each completed A-B-C-D letter.
  3. From the right flipper, keep sending the ball up top. Do not force a transfer.

  4. After A-B-C-D is complete, shoot a lit left drop target for 5,000.

  5. Return to the top-right saucer when the ball reaches the left flipper.

Alternative route: Up top

Use this plan when the saucer miss feeds the right outlane.

  1. Send the ball up the left side of the bumpers.
  2. Collect A-B-C-D and top-playfield points.
  3. Take a lit 5,000 drop only from a controlled ball.
