Lost In Space pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Lost In Space starts Robot Multiball through R-O-B-O-T letters, Condition Red through the green, red, and yellow targets, and Fighter through the upper lanes. Favor Robot Multiball because its lit Robot shots spell WARNING and then become repeatable Super Jackpots; switch to Condition Red or Fighter when that route is already one safe sequence away.
The goal
Spell ROBOT and start Robot Multiball, use its protected balls to finish WARNING and repeat the Robot for Super Jackpots, then switch to Condition Red when the green, yellow, and red target banks are already close.
Test the ramp, Robot lane, and both orbit feeds during the opening save.
Collect safe ROBOT letters through the orbits, spinner lane, and Mystery scoop.
Take the Robot lane only from a controlled left-flipper shot, then return to it to start Robot Multiball.
During Robot Multiball, repeat the lit Robot shot to spell WARNING.
- Each lit Robot collect advances the word. Completing it changes the Robot to the repeating Super Jackpot shot.: Each lit Robot collect advances the word. Completing it changes the Robot to the repeating Super Jackpot shot.
After WARNING is complete, keep returning to Robot for Super Jackpots while ball count protects the feed.
Between starts, hit the green, red, and yellow target banks only when their rebounds are controlled; cash a near-ready Condition Red at the right orbit.
Alternative route: Condition Red
Use this when ROBOT letters are awkward but the green, red, and yellow target banks are already advanced.
- Finish the green, red, and yellow target progress.
- Shoot the right orbit to start Condition Red.
- Repeat the ramp for jackpots.
- Use the surviving ball to resume ROBOT progress.
