Space Ship pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In Space Ship, knock down the six left targets, then take their lit follow-up lane to reset the bank for 80,000 and light Special; the next completed cycle awards a replay. Hit the four progressive targets to raise Bonus X through 3x, 5x, 10x, and 20x. Complete A-B-C-D once for a lit Extra Ball, then again for Special.

The goal

Build Bonus X with the progressive targets whenever their shots are under control. Use the six-target bank for the 80,000-and-Special cycle, and take A-B-C-D lanes opportunistically because their first and second completions open Extra Ball and Special.

  1. Hit the four progressive targets to advance Bonus X through 3x, 5x, 10x, and 20x.

  2. Knock down all six left targets to light their follow-up lane.

  3. Take the lit follow-up lane to finish the sequence, reset the targets, score 80,000, and light Special.

  4. Repeat the six-target sequence for the second-cycle replay.

  5. Complete the A-B-C-D lanes once to light Extra Ball at the fixed yellow target, then complete them again for Special.
