Jim Henson's Labyrinth pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Jim Henson's Labyrinth adds one LABYRINTH-letter requirement for each successive mode (one letter for the first mode, then two, up to six). White-arrow shots collect the letters; the Change Mode target changes the selection within its row, and either side of the U-turn or the open Wiseman scoop starts the selected mode. Separately, hit the wall and all four flashing green Fairy targets, then lock at the left orbit and center ramp before shooting the right orbit to start Brick Keeper Multiball.
The goal
Collect LABYRINTH letters for the selected mode, use the wall and Fairy targets for Red shots score Jackpots. The first Jackpot lights the forks. Each later Super Jackpot needs one more Jackpot. Extra Jackpots raise the lit Super value. The multiball ends when one ball remains., or collect Friend Jackpots for Collect one blue, one yellow, and one red Friend shot. Shoot Helping Hands for the Friend Jackpot. Repeat until one ball remains..
