Star-Jet pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Shoot balls into the two Blast-Off holes, then hit the numbered Trigger targets to release them for multiball. Complete the five star rollovers to light Special.

  1. Load the Blast-Off holes: Shoot a ball into either of the two holes at the top of the playfield. The hole holds that ball until a matching Trigger target releases it. Use the next ball to hit a Trigger target.

  2. Release a captured ball: Hit either right-side Trigger 1 target to release the ball from the left hole numbered 1. Hit either left-side Trigger 2 target to release the ball from the right hole numbered 2.

  3. Release both captured balls: Hit the center target marked 2 and 1 Trigger to release balls from both occupied holes. Each released ball scores 50 points, and up to three balls can be in play together.

  4. Complete the stars: Roll through all five star rollovers to light Special at the two lower outlanes. Three star rollovers are across the top; the other two are on the sides beside the pop bumpers.

  5. Collect Special: Roll through a lower outlane while its Special is lit to collect the configured award. An unlit Special outlane scores 50 points.
