Cheetah pinball rules and 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.

  1. Work the top three-bank or repeat the more reachable right three-bank to raise Bonus X.

  2. Complete the numbered 1–5 drop bank; the lit next number is worth more, and completion lights the far-left Collect Bonus lane.

  3. Build base bonus with the right bank, outer return lanes, or a second numbered-bank completion.

  4. When the base and multiplier are strong, shoot the narrow far-left lane to collect.

Raise Bonus X

Max Base Bonus
A second numbered-bank completion advances the base to its maximum.

Machine setup

  • Identify stock versus updated/custom code before play; the Minutorial explicitly warns that rule behavior differs.
  • Test all three drop banks, the numbered sequence, far-left collect lane, horseshoe, spinners, bonus lamps, and upper-left flipper feed.
  • Confirm whether bonus can be collected once or repeatedly per ball, plus Extra Ball and Special conversion.
