Embryon pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Plunge to the upper-right saucer, then shoot through the gate toward the upper-left 1-2 lanes. Complete 1-2 and collect lit Bonus X awards, and hit the saucer twice to light the left spinner for 1,000 per spin. Hit the center captive ball seven times, then lock at the far upper-right saucer to start Multiball.

The goal

Use the upper-right saucer and flipper to reach the upper-left lanes, build Bonus X, and light the left spinner. Spell EMBRYON at the center captive ball, then lock at the far upper-right saucer for Multiball.

  1. Plunge into the upper-right saucer, then use the upper-right flipper to shoot through the gate toward the upper-left lanes.

  2. Complete the upper-left 1-2 lanes and hit the top drop target when its Bonus X or Collect Bonus lamp is lit.

  3. Hit the upper-right saucer twice to light the left spinner for 1,000 per spin, then repeat the controlled spinner shot.

  4. For Multiball, hit the center captive ball seven times to spell EMBRYON, then shoot the far upper-right saucer to lock the ball and release the replacement.
