Solar Fire pinball rules and strategy

Complete a three-bank to light a random eject-hole lock, then shoot that lit hole. Repeat and capture a second ball to start two-ball Multiball; light and fill all three locks for three-ball Multiball. During Multiball, clear the timed upper five-bank for double or triple value.

The goal

Build lock lamps from the safer lower three-banks, capture each lit hole as it appears, and take the center ramp to the upper playfield whenever the timed five-bank is available. Three-ball Multiball is harder to assemble but triples that bank's value instead of doubling it.

  1. Complete a three-bank to light one of the three eject holes for lock.

  2. Shoot the lit eject hole to capture the ball, then complete another three-bank to light another lock.

  3. Capture the second lit lock to start two-ball Multiball, or keep building until all three lock lamps are lit and capture all three for three-ball Multiball.

  4. During Multiball, reach the upper playfield and clear the timed five-bank for 2x value with two balls or 3x with three balls.
