World Cup pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Keep shooting the left orbit. It lights Goal and feeds the top lanes, where you can score goals and S-T-A-R letters. Spell STAR for 2x, 3x, then 5x Bonus.
The goal
Go up the left side all day, let the top and side kickouts find goals and STAR letters, and protect the large goal bonus instead of forcing the center spinner.
Shoot the left orbit to light Goal and feed the top arch.
Use the top lanes and side kickouts to collect S-T-A-R letters and let the ball find a lit goal saucer.
Repeat S-T-A-R completions to raise Bonus X from 2x to 3x to 5x.
Keep building the carried-over goal count and preserve the multiplied end-of-ball bonus.

World Cup is a goal-based bonus game. The left orbit is the best repeatable route because it immediately lights Goal, feeds the top lanes for S-T-A-R, and raises its own carried-over value as goals accumulate. Spell S-T-A-R for 2x, 3x, and 5x Bonus; goals carry across balls, but the multiplier does not.
