Metal Man pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete the drop bank to advance the castle awards, then shoot a lit castle saucer twice: once to prepare it and again to collect it. Keep shooting the long loop; three laps light extra ball at the lower-right lane, and five laps add extra ball plus 500,000 points at the hole.

The goal

Complete the drop bank to advance the castle awards. Shoot a lit castle saucer once to prepare it and again to collect it. Make three loop laps to light the lower-right extra ball; five laps add extra ball plus 500,000 at the hole.

  1. Complete the drop-target bank to advance the available castle award.

  2. Shoot the corresponding castle saucer once to prepare its sequence, then return to collect the lit award.

  3. Repeat the long loop to build the lap count.

  4. After three laps, collect the lit extra ball at the lower-right lane; after five laps, shoot the hole for extra ball and 500,000 points.
