Cheetah pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Complete the top three-bank or repeat the right three-bank to raise Bonus X. Complete the numbered 1–5 bank to light Collect Bonus, then shoot the long left lane after the bonus is valuable.
The goal
Build Bonus X from the top or right bank, complete 1–5 to light Collect Bonus, and cash the long left lane only after checking whether this copy allows repeated collections.
Work the top three-bank or repeat the more reachable right three-bank to raise Bonus X.
Complete the numbered 1–5 drop bank; the lit next number is worth more, and completion lights the far-left Collect Bonus lane.
Build base bonus with the right bank, outer return lanes, or a second numbered-bank completion.
When the base and multiplier are strong, shoot the narrow far-left lane to collect.
Need to know
- Raise Bonus X
- Complete the top three-bank; later right-bank completions can also advance it.

Cheetah is a build-and-collect game. The top three-bank and repeated right-bank completions raise Bonus X, while the numbered five-bank lights the long left Collect Bonus lane. Build the base and multiplier before taking that lane, and determine first whether the installed code permits one collect or repeated collects per ball.
