Strategy summary
The goal
Fill holes A–B–C–D to earn a replay and light the bottom side lanes. Adding the Penalty Box releases its trapped ball and lights the bottom center lane for five replays. Goal scoring is a separate award track.
Fill A–B–C–D: Shoot the four lettered holes in the central circle until each holds a ball. Completing all four earns one replay and lights the two bottom side lanes; a ball through either lit lane earns one replay.
Release the Penalty Box ball: With A–B–C–D filled, a ball in the Penalty Box hole below that circle scores 500,000 and returns to play. A second ball into the Penalty Box stays trapped and scores nothing.
Collect five replays: Filling A–B–C–D and the Penalty Box lights the bottom center lane for Extra Special. Roll through that lane between the lower flippers while lit to score five replays.
Score goals: The top center rollover scores one goal on the backbox reel plus 500,000 points. The two top side rollovers and two bottom side rollovers each score one goal when lit.
