Popeye Saves the Earth pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Hit both Jab targets to light Lockjaw, then lock three balls there for Bluto Multiball. During Multiball, shoot the left ramp for a Jackpot and return to Lockjaw to relight it; a lit Spinach Can on the ramp doubles the collect.
The goal
Build Bluto Multiball by hitting both Jab targets and locking three balls at Lockjaw. Alternate the left ramp and Lockjaw for growing Jackpots, while using O-Y-L to qualify the separate Fight Bluto rounds and SEA-HAG to build the four Sea Hag items.
Hit both Jab targets to light Lockjaw. Lockjaw can also be lit by the skill wheel or a selected Escalator award.
Shoot Lockjaw three times while Lock is lit to load the balls and start Bluto Multiball.
During Bluto Multiball, shoot the left ramp for the Jackpot, then shoot Lockjaw to relight it. Repeat while at least two balls remain.
Collect a lit Spinach Can at the left ramp before a Jackpot when control allows; the Spinach doubles that ramp collect until the machine reaches its cap.
If two balls drain before the first Jackpot, shoot Lockjaw during the short restart timer instead of abandoning the Multiball route.
For the separate Fight Bluto route, complete O-Y-L in the top lanes and shoot the lit upper sinkhole. Follow the flashing targets for the current environmental round.
