Full Throttle pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Full Throttle turns each five-shot Challenge into a stackable Multiball, while trophies set Final Challenge values and revs build the timed playfield multiplier. Make five shots to one feature to start its Challenge, then repeat that feature for bronze, silver, and gold trophies. Starting another Challenge adds a ball and a fresh ball save; build the multiplier with pop-bumper revs or the Super Skill Shot, then press Start during stacked Challenges or save it for Final Challenge.
The goal
Start a Challenge with five shots to its feature, add other Challenges as balls during play, and use the timed playfield multiplier on the combined scoring.
How to start a mode
Shoot one Challenge feature five times: the captive ball for Stunt, either ramp for Moto Cross, the center spinner for Drag, the inner loop for Circuit, or either outer orbit for Street.
Recommended mode: The Challenge on your chosen feature
Each Challenge starts after five shots to its own feature.
How to play it
