Hot Wheels pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete a lap of the upper racetrack to light Start. Then hit racetrack buttons and the ten numbered fixed targets to advance the race. When first position lights the swinging target, hit it for Special. Complete the four left drop targets repeatedly to raise Bonus X to 2x, 3x, then 5x.

The goal

Light Start before spending time on the race buttons, then finish the numbered target route into first position. Take the swinging target as soon as Special is lit, and finish partial left-bank sets for Bonus X.

  1. Complete a lap of the upper racetrack to light Start.

  2. With Start lit, hit racetrack buttons to advance bonus; completing all of them also advances the top-hole value.

  3. Hit the ten numbered fixed targets to advance race position; when first position lights the swinging target, hit it for Special.

  4. Complete the four left drop targets repeatedly to advance Bonus X to 2x, 3x, then 5x.
