Clown pinball rules and strategy

Complete the three-bank once to light Extra Ball at the upper horseshoe, then a second time to light center-target Special. Complete useful numbered-target combinations for lane or captive-ball Extra Balls, or shoot the ramp to prepare Extra Ball at the left kickout.

The goal

Take the three-bank first because its first completion creates a direct Extra Ball collect. Use the numbered targets when a safe rebound spots a useful combination, and take the ramp only when you are ready for the left kickout feed.

  1. Complete the three drop targets once, then shoot the lit upper horseshoe for Extra Ball.

  2. Complete the bank a second time and hit the center target while Special is lit.

  3. Use numbered targets 3+5 for the lower-left lane or 4+6 for the lower-right lane; add 1 or 2 to the matching odd or even set for an upper-lane Extra Ball.

  4. When the ramp is safe, shoot it to prepare Extra Ball at the left kickout, then collect the lit kickout.
