Strategy summary

The goal

Collect the S-H-A-N-T-Y bumpers to advance the numbered progress lights. Several channels offer Special when lit.

  1. Letter collection: Knock out the S-H-A-N-T-Y bumpers to advance lights 1 through 5. The letter bumpers run down both sides; the round button in the lower center is marked Resets S-H-A-N-T-Y.

  2. Channel Specials: Roll through either side channel beside the red bobble bumpers for 100,000 points and Special when lit. The narrow channel between the two midfield flippers also scores Special when lit.
