Complete the four colored lanes, then drop targets all day.

Full Rules
Base bonus is advanced by all top lanes, return lanes, outlanes and stand-up targets and goes up to 19K. Drop targets are worth 1000 plus 1000 for each of the four colors you’ve collected; it’s similar to Jacks to Open in that regard. Completing the red or yellow lanes gives you both colors. There are two places to collect each color: one top lane for each; the upper left side lanes for red and white; the upper right stand-up target for green; and the center right side lane is your second yellow.
To double your bonus, complete all 8 drop targets. Complete them a second time to raise your multiplier to 3X. On ball 3, you start at 2X.
Strategy is simple - - get the lanes first to maximize target value, then smack the targets all day to double and triple your bonus. Once at 3X and 19K, just keep smacking the drop targets.
If extra balls are on, completing all four colors lights the left outlane to score the extra ball.
Playfield Risk
Rebound risk from the drop targets, bumper slams down the middle from the left bumper and plenty of roll-down risk elsewhere. For the upper left side, it matters if the ball goes through the yellow or red lane; red lane is a smoother exit, yellow is more likely to bounce off of the rail towards a center drain. For the far right yellow lane exit, ball speed matters - - does the ball arc down to a flipper or not? Balls falling between the green and yellow drop target pairs can center drain depending on how smoothly they roll. You can also get a left outlane drain when the right bumper smacks the ball against the rubber above the yellow targets.
