Earth Wind Fire pinball rules and strategy

Complete the ten numbered standup targets repeatedly to build the Fire Special route. Complete the three upper rollovers to raise Bonus X and work toward the top Special. Complete the drop bank to light the outlane ball return, and shoot the Fire Special hole whenever its award is lit.

The goal

Finish the numbered set closest to completion, use the upper rollovers for Bonus X, and take the Fire Special hole only when its lamp shows a worthwhile award. Build ball return from the drop bank when safety matters more than raw points.

  1. Complete the ten numbered standup targets; repeated completions advance the Fire Special route.

  2. Complete the three upper rollovers to advance Bonus X and the upper Special sequence.

  3. Complete the drop-target bank to light the outlane ball-return feature.

  4. Shoot the Fire Special hole when its lamp is lit, and use the top-right lane target to advance its displayed award.
