The Rolling Stones pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
The Rolling Stones lets a running timed mode continue into Rock Star Multiball, while top-lane completions add permanent 2x scoring to individual major shots. The fourth orbit shot starts World Tour automatically; spell R-O-C-K-S-T-A-R at the orange targets and hit either Rock Star target to start Multiball. Complete the top lanes, then make the next unmultiplied major shot to give it 2x scoring for the rest of the ball.
The goal
Use four orbit shots for World Tour, spell R-O-C-K-S-T-A-R for Rock Star Multiball, and use the top lanes to multiply one major shot.
How to start a mode
Shoot either orbit four times; the fourth shot starts World Tour automatically. Keep shooting either orbit for timed city awards, and collect seven awards across attempts to complete World Tour.
Recommended mode: World Tour
Both orbits qualify and score the same timed feature.
How to play it
Shoot either orbit for city awards. Progress toward the seventh award carries into later World Tour attempts.
