Space Shuttle pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Use the five top rollovers to lower Space Mission targets, and complete all six targets three times. Then hit the center Blast Off target to light the center hole for Special. Hit the three upper targets for Bonus X, and knock down both upper-left inline targets to light that canal's Special hole.

The goal

Keep finishing the six Space Mission targets instead of spreading shots across unfinished features. After the third completion, switch to Blast Off and then the center hole. Use the three upper targets when Bonus X is the safer progress shot.

  1. Use the five top rollovers to lower Space Mission targets, then finish all six targets for one completion.

  2. Complete the six Space Mission targets three times to light the center Blast Off target.

  3. Hit the lit Blast Off target, then shoot the center hole while Special is lit.

  4. Hit the three upper targets to advance Bonus X; knock down both upper-left inline targets to light the canal hole for its Special award.
