Quickie Version

top saucer all day from the left flipper; from the right flipper, finish the drops once, then transfer to the left if possible for saucer shots; if not, go up top for next-best choice, shoot the left side drops as last choice.

Go-To Flipper

Left

Full Rules

*Shot to master: saucer.*

UTAD for the most part. From the left flipper, it’s the top saucer all day. From the right flipper, go up top just left of the left-most bumper until all 4 letters A-B-C-D are complete, then shoot drop targets. If a shot to the saucer misses and goes into the right side waterfall / plinko lanes, keep the ball out of the bottom-most right lane to avoid draining; if it goes into that one anyway, the ball can still often be saved with a properly-timed nudge, but most people nudge too soon\! Wait until the ball is actually part way into the outlane, say 1/5 of the way, then do a sideways nudge. This will get the ball to hit the edge of the return lane or the outer post and perhaps flick it onto the return track.

If the outer left return lane is lit for 5000 and you have the ball cradled on the right flipper, consider shatzing right to left to collect it.

Get the letters because this lights the drop targets for 5000 instead of 500. Once the drops are down, shooting a lit bullseye is ok.

Ball Control: Like on 300, do NOT hold the right flipper up to roll the ball up to a cradle: it will often go up and out the gap at the right side of the wire form. Live catches and drop catches are fine but use caution so you don’t accidentally do the roll-out.

Playfield Risk

Mostly balls exiting the bumper area down the middle and waterfall drains out the right outlane. Any ball that falls gently off the outer (left) edge of the waterfall is at risk. Very few left outlane drains except when the ball hits the inlane divider and goes that way.
