Game Intructions:
- Every player will begin each new game with five balls.
- SKILL SHOT: Hitting the blinking arrow when you launch the ball will
award the “Skill-Shot” bonus. You can use the flippers to move the arrow left or
right. Light all 3 arrows at any time for bonus points.
- KICKER: Whenever you begin a new game both “Kickers” will be active.
Once a kicker is used to save your ball it will become inactive. To reactivate
the kickers hit the ball into the “SEWER WARP,” or “TOXIC CLEAN UP” when they
are open.
- Hit the “Open” gate button to open passages. The first hit opens the
“Sewer Warp” gates in the middle. A second hit opens the “Toxic Clean Up”
passage. The third and fourth hits open the passages in the top left enabling
the “Sonic Video Wheel”.
- Hitting the “Close” gate button will close all passages that have been
opened.
- Knocking down all of the “SONIC” and “SPINBALL” targets will light the
“SPECIAL” feature and the “EXTRA BALL” feature.
- SPECIAL: When lit, hit the target labeled “SPECIAL.” This will activate
the “Extra Flipper” and the “Gem.” The “Extra Flipper” is positioned on the
right and will stay active until you lose your ball or until you gain a gem. The
“Gem” will appear in the “Sewer Warp” hole. Hit the ball into the “Sewer Warp”
hole when it is open to collect the gem. The gem will stay in the hole until you
lose your ball.
- EXTRA BALL: When lit, hit the target labeled “EXTRA BALL.” On your first
ball the “EXTRA BALL” will stay lit until you lose your ball. After the first
ball, activating the “EXTRA BALL” will only light it for 30 seconds. You can not
store more than 1 “EXTRA BALL” at a time. Also, Collecting 100 rings will award
an “Extra Ball.”
- RINGS: Collect rings scattered around the board. Collect 100 rings to
earn an “Extra Ball.” Entering the “SEWER WARP,” the “TOXIC CLEAN UP” and the
Spinning Tubes will add 1 ring to your total. There are two ways for the user to
reset the rings in the play area. Collecting a “Gem” will reset the rings.
Another way to reset the rings is by hitting the “RESET RINGS” target once you
have collected all of the rings. Whenever a ball is lost the rings are
automatically reset.
- GEMS: Collect gems for big bonus points. Every gem you collect will stay
lit in the top right corner.
- Hitting the yellow targets surrounding Dr. Robotnik causes the green and
purple tubes to spin more quickly. Knocking down all four targets increases the
tubes to maximum speed. Entering the tube slows down the speed of the spin.
- SONIC VIDEO WHEEL: If one or both tubes in the top left Dr. Robotnik
area is open and you hit the ball into the tube, you will spin the “Sonic Video
Wheel” for a reward of points or rings. The reward will be multiplied by your
current bonus multiplier.
- BONUS MULTIPLIER: Hit the ball all the way up the ramp in the upper
right corner to advance the multiplier. This increases your end of ball bonus
and multiplies all “Sonic Video Wheel” awards.
