Jungle Queen / Jungle Princess pinball rules and strategy

In Jungle Queen or Jungle Princess, complete A-B-C to light Double Bonus, then clear the five-target bank with the safer rebound. That bank lights its side lane and upper saucer for 5,000. Repeat the lit lane or saucer only when its return reaches a lower flipper under control.

The goal

Plunge B, complete the safer five-target bank, then repeat that side's lit 5,000-point lane or saucer only from a controlled feed.

  1. Plunge for the top . Use the lower to complete A-B-C.

    • A-B-C: Completing all three letters lights double end-of-ball bonus. The last ball has double bonus automatically.
    • B also lights the blue pop bumper. Its scoring can change with three-ball and five-ball settings.

  2. Complete either full bank of five drop targets. Prefer the bank with the safer rebound and side return.

    • Drop bank: Each target builds bonus. Completing all five targets on one side lights that side lane for 5,000.
    • The targets stay down for the rest of the ball. They reset for the next ball or player.

  3. Use the short only to redirect the ball or finish a controlled target shot. Transfer to a lower flipper when possible.

  4. After one side is lit, choose its repeatable 5,000-point shot: the or the side lane from below.

    • 5,000 lane: A completed drop bank lights the lane behind it. A missed saucer shot can still roll through the lit lane.
    • A strong, accurate bottom-up lane shot can score going up and again when the ball returns through the lane.

  5. Repeat only the route that gives a controlled return. the ball between attempts.

Alternative route: Bonus and A-B-C

Use this route when both lit side shots or saucer kickouts return badly.

  1. Plunge B. Complete A and C through the lower lanes to light double bonus.
  2. Finish safe drop targets to add bonus. Do not force the last target in a dangerous bank.
  3. Protect the doubled bonus. Use controlled upper-flipper deflections instead of repeated power flips.
