Mars God of War pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete the center drop bank for the left Warbase or the right bank for the right Warbase, then shoot the active hole to capture a ball. Shoot the Launch lane for two-ball Hyperforce at 3x, or capture both balls first and use Launch for three-ball Hyperforce at 5x.

The goal

Build both banks before taking Launch whenever control allows, because the second capture upgrades Hyperforce from two balls at 3x to three balls at 5x. Use M-A-R-S and repeated Launch-lane entries to raise the stored multiplier between lock attempts.

  1. Complete the center drop bank to flash Activate Warbase at the left capture hole.

  2. Complete the right drop bank to flash Activate Warbase at the right capture hole.

  3. Shoot each active Warbase to capture two balls; the machine serves a replacement after each capture.

  4. Send the third ball into the Launch lane to release three-ball Hyperforce with 5x playfield scoring.
