Topaz pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
The colored drop targets and TOPAZ letters light Special and Extra Ball awards. Matching letters with their bonus colors increases the points collected at the end of the ball.
Drop bank: Complete the five colored drop targets across the center to light Special at the top P lane and Extra Ball at the marked upper and lower lanes. The first Special light turns off when collected.
Repeat bank: Completing the bank again keeps the top P lane's Special lit after collection. The operator can also enable an immediate extra ball or replay for this completion.
TOPAZ letters: Complete TOPAZ using the lettered lanes and targets to keep Special lit at the top P lane and light Extra Ball at the side O and A targets. Hit a side target with Extra Ball lit to collect it.
Combined features: Complete TOPAZ and the drop bank to light Special at the two lower side targets, above the return lanes. Hit a lit target to collect it. An immediate extra ball or replay may also be enabled for this combination.
Bonus matches: Hit colored drop targets and collect the matching TOPAZ letters, following the bonus display above the flippers. Matching a letter and color multiplies that combination's end-of-ball bonus points by 10.
