Shooting the Rapids pinball rules and strategy

Complete A-B-C once for 2x bonus, twice for 3x, and three times for 5x. Hit the yellow drop targets and top lane to advance the Special route. Use the white advance-bonus shots to build bonus, and shoot the spinner while its higher value is lit.

The goal

Finish A-B-C sets instead of leaving letters scattered; the first three completions raise Bonus X sharply. Use the yellow targets and top lane for Special progress, then take the spinner only when its lit value justifies the risk.

  1. Complete A-B-C once for 2x bonus, a second time for 3x, and a third time for 5x.

  2. Hit the yellow drop targets and the top lane to advance the lit Special route.

  3. Use the white advance-bonus shots to build the bonus collected at the end of the ball.

  4. Shoot the spinner while its larger displayed value is lit, then return to the nearest incomplete A-B-C or yellow-target set.
