SKILLSHOTS

This special feature is enabled at the start of each ball. You have a limited amount of time to shoot the flashing ramp. If you succeed, you can collect a large number of points.

MULTIBONUSES

When a ball hits targets, bumpers and slingshots and when you receive a combo, you also get additional points called Bonus. These points are added to your global points counter at the end of the game if you do not tilt. The value added at the end of the game is multiplied by bonus multiplier. At the beginning of the game bonus multiplier equals one and can be increased by shooting Skull ramp. To activate x2 bonus multiplier you have to shoot this ramp twice, for x4 - four times, for x6 - six times and so on. Having activated the bonus multiplier, you have to collect it at Mermaid ball-trap yet. When one skull is flashing at Skull, you can try to increase the bonus multiplier. Activated bonus multiplier is indicated by two rows of blue lamps at the bottom of the screen. Bonus multiplier is reset when each new ball is launched on the table unless the Bonus Held feature has been activated in Award Mode.

LAMPS

While playing the game some lamps flash, another ones are lit, others are inactive yet. General rule is that when a lamp flashes you can get something (collect points, activate a feature, get a special award…) if you shoot a ramp, a ball-trap or a target is indicated by this lamp. When the lamp is lit it can mean:

There is one exception to the basic rules described above: the Kickback lamp. The Kickback lamp is lit when the Kickback is in a state that can be activated by a passing ball. It flashes when it is in 'grace period' and it indicates that it will be made inactive in a few seconds.

KICKBACK

Three green lamps near the compass are called Mermaid lamps. When you shoot all of them, Kickback is activated - the red triangle lamp at the right outer lane is activated. When the ball goes down the outer lane, a special device kicks the ball back onto the table. The kickback will then pass into "grace period" mode - the lamp will flash for a while and then the kickback will be deactivated.

BALLSAVER

This special feature is usually activated at the beginning of the game. If the ball drains when the ball saver is active the ball is saved and redirected to the plunger line. The ball saver is usually active through some period and can be used a limited number of times.

COMBOS

If a player can shoot ramps at least twice in succession he will get a combo award. At the end of the game all combos are converted into points. When the player gets a combo he also gets points and a bonus award. These points and a bonus are multiplied by the number of successive shots so far and this number cannot be greater than the predefined value - usually five. Of course the player has a limited amount of time to complete this task. Having shot the first ramp, the lamps at the ramp entrances start flashing. When they stop, your time is over. When you get a combo, you also get extra time, which can be added if you shoot any lock. If ramps are shot in special sequences you can get special combo awards. There are two such combo awards so try and find them.

PIRANHA POPS

If you hit two Piranha targets, you will activate a special award "Piranha Pops". When this is active, you get Piranha Awards (2,000,000 points) during next ten successive bumper hits.

MAGNASAVER

This special feature helps you when the ball falls through the left outer lane. At the entrance of the left inner lane under the table a special magnet is located that - if Magnasaver is active - it can be activated by pressing Caps-Lock key and it should catch ball and drop it to the left inner lane. Activating Magnasaver is a bit more complicated. First you have to shoot two white Magna Targets that are located at the upper part of the table. If you do it, a Magna lamp at entrance to Mermaid ball-trap should start flashing to indicate that you can activate Magnasaver by shooting there.

THE RIGHT BALL-TRAP

Locking a ball in this trap is usually awarded by special bonus that can be increased in Award Mode.

AWARD MODE

To activate this special video mode you need to have one ball locked in the Cave ball-trap and pass the ball through the left inner lane (when the yellow lamp flashes). When this mode is enabled you can start it by shooting the Award Mode ball-trap. In this mode you try to find a way in very "islandfull" region of the world. You have to track among rocks and small islands - at the left side of the LED you have a map displayed. In this mode, you should try to get the a special award signed by $ mark. At the right bottom corner, the current award is displayed. It is chosen randomly and changes in a while. If you finish this mode successfully, you have to play at least once in any of multiball modes to be able to activate it again. If you fail to get a special award, pass through the left inner lane to activate it once again.
