KISS pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

KISS rewards a center-lane plunge by lighting both spinners for 1,000 per spin for the rest of the ball. Repeat either spinner to send the ball through the top lanes until the carried Super Bonus reaches 40,000, then complete the four A-B-C-D targets for 2x end-of-ball bonus on that ball.

The goal

Plunge the center top lane to light both spinners, use either spinner to build the carried Super Bonus, then hit the four A-B-C-D targets for 2x Bonus on this ball.

  1. Light both spinners

    Plunge the center top lane to light both spinners for 1,000 per spin for the rest of the ball.

  2. Build the carried bonus

    Repeat either spinner to return the ball to the top lanes until the 40,000 Super Bonus is lit.

  3. Add 2x and return to the spinners

    Hit the four A-B-C-D targets on the right-middle playfield to light 2x Bonus for this ball, then return to either spinner and the top lanes.

Need to know
Center top lane
It lights both spinners for 1,000 per spin for the rest of the ball. If LIGHT-A-LINE is lit, it completes the current K-I-S-S row. If OPEN GATE is lit, it opens the right-outlane gate. If both are lit, both happen.
KISS bonus grid
Top-lane letters build the four-row carried bonus grid while the spinner route repeatedly sends the ball up top.
Super and Colossal Bonus
One full grid gives 40,000, two give 80,000, and three cap the carried bonus at 120,000.

Machine setup

  • Test both spinners, the top-lane switches, A-B-C-D rebounds, bumper exits, the right-outlane gate, tilt sensitivity, and flipper strength.
