Super Nova pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Build the active bonus with the spinner and collect it at its named kickout. Space Lab lights separate scoring features.

  1. Bonus collect: Every spinner turn advances the lit bonus. Shoot the URSA or ORION kickout to collect its corresponding bonus. Liberal settings restore the collected bonus; conservative settings clear it.

  2. Bonus multiplier: Complete either S-U-P-E-R or N-O-V-A on liberal settings, or both on conservative settings, to advance the multiplier. After reaching 5X, completing both words scores 50,000.

  3. Space Lab: Hit a 1,000 / Spin Lab target to spin the wheel. COMET 500 raises the spinner from 100 to 500 per turn. URSA X3 or ORION X3 triples the corresponding kickout's bonus collect.

  4. Center-target awards: When Space Lab lights 50,000 or Special, hit the center standup target to collect that award. Collecting Special spins Space Lab again.
