Hitting this target also advances the next UJ to be awarded to be the next one that has not yet been collected. UNION JACK MODES There are 13 modes which are called Union Jack features. The game always starts with Christmas Union Jack flashing. The flashing Union Jack changes with every hit to the Pop Bumpers and the Silver Ball Target. To collect the flashing Union Jack, shoot either the Left Scoop or the Right Scoop when lit. After collecting a Union Jack, you must shoot one of the orbits to relight it. You can normally relight the Union Jack during another mode; the only exceptions are if you have a multiball mode going, in which case starting other modes is disabled and you can't relight the Union Jack either. If there is no Union Jack running, and the scoops are not lit, then either in-lane will light the scoops for about two seconds. The Union Jack is automatically lit at the beginning of each ball. At the completion of each Union Jack, you are told how many points you got for the mode, but the points are always awarded when you get them, not when this final tally is displayed. Following are the 13 Union Jacks. Collecting the first 12 enables the Pinball Wizard mode. They are listed in the order that they rotate when the Pop Bumpers or Silver Ball Target are hit. Christmas Original: 20 seconds. All playfield switches score 300K. Hitting any 3-bank target increases this value by 100K. The roving flashing target on the 3-banks adds 5M to the Christmas total. The orbit diverter is active during this round. The More Time target resets the timer to 20 seconds once. Update: No change. Cousin Kevin Original: 20 seconds. The three ramp stand-up targets are flashing. The first time each ramp target is hit, it becomes lit and an additional ball is launched into play (thus you can get a maximum of 4 balls in play). When the timer has expired, play continues until less than two balls remain in play. The ramp targets are worth 5M throughout this round. No other rounds can be started during Cousin Kevin. The more-time target resets the timer to 20 seconds once. If multiball is lit, then it becomes unlit until this mode ends. Update: 20 seconds. The three ramp stand-up targets are flashing.

Update: No change. Captain Walker Video Mode Original: All targets score 1M. Update: Blimps score 1M, planes score 2M, small buildings score 2M, large buildings score 3M. A new Adjustment 35 (Video Mode) with a default of ON gives the option of turning off this mode.

Update: No change. MYSTERY AWARDS During single ball play, the Right Ramp advances towards lighting Mystery which can be collected at the Genius Lane. Mystery Awards used to be unevenly weighted and the player would have a greatly reduced chance of seeing some of the awards. These weightings have all been removed in v.5.00 and now all awards are evenly weighted, this gives the player a greater chance of experiencing more Mystery Awards. The following are the possible Mystery Awards. 2M Pops Original: Set Pop Bumper value to 1M for duration of ball. Originally named “Million Pops”. Update: Set Pop Bumper value to 2M for duration of ball. Reaching this amount is not possible during regular gameplay. Pop bumpers will flash for remainder of ball. Renamed to “2M Pops”.

Renamed to “Super Bonus X”. Double Scoring Original: All scoring is doubled for next 20 seconds. The Sling Shot targets are ignored. You cannot start Tommy multiball nor start a Union Jack mode. The More Time target resets the timer to 20 seconds once. Any bonuses (Silver Ball, Genius Lane, etc) collected during this mode will not be included in the end of mode score display, leaving the player to feel that this is a low scoring mode. Update: All scoring is doubled for next 20 seconds. The Sling Shot targets are now scored. You cannot start Tommy multiball nor start a Union Jack mode. The More Time target resets the timer to 20 seconds once.

MULTIBALL Multiball is lit by hitting the Mirror to spell TOMMY during single ball play. When completed, the Mirror lowers and Multiball is lit at the Mirror scoop and the Left Scoop. Regular Multiball is 4-Ball play; starting Multiball from the Left Scoop is only 3-Ball play. Subsequent Multiballs are not lit at the Left Scoop. The auto-advancing of TOMMY letters is now fully customizable. See “Adjustment 48 - Multiball Ready Style” below for details. Multiball can be very lucrative, so you definitely want to go for it whenever it is lit. Modes continue running during multiball (but they do pause the timers during the multiball opening animation) so stacking Multiball with a mode such as Christmas can be an excellent strategy. There are several stages to multiball, and completing one stage lets you move on to the next. Stage 1 Original: At the start of multiball, the left ramp is lit for Jackpot, and the right ramp for Double Jackpot. Initial jackpot value is 20M if you start at the Tommy hole, 15M if you start with the left scoop (or 40M and 30M for Double Jackpot). All playfield switches increase the Jackpot value by 200K, and the Double Jackpot value by 400K. Hitting the Tommy hole increases the Jackpot value by 2M, and the Double Jackpot value by 4M. Collecting any Jackpot launches an additional ball into play. When BOTH Jackpots are completed, both are relit and Stage 2 starts. Update: No change. Stage 2 Original: Collect either the single or double jackpot by shooting one of the ramps. Jackpots continue to rise by 200K/400K a switch, and the initial value is carried over from stage 1. After ONE of the two jackpots, an additional ball is launched into play, and you move on to Stage 3. Update: Blinder is turned on. Collect either the single or double jackpot by shooting one of the ramps. Jackpots now rise by 500K/1M a switch, and the initial value is carried over from stage 1. After ONE of the two jackpots, an additional ball is launched into play, and you move on to Stage 3. Stage 3 Original: The Tommy hole spots the letters T-O-M-M-Y and each one scores a 20M jackpot (which does not increase). No balls are added to play for collecting these jackpots. Completing TOMMY moves you to Stage 4. Update: Blinder is turned off. The Tommy hole spots the letters T-O-M-M-Y and each one scores a 30M jackpot (which increases by 5M per shot). Two letters are already spotted at the start of this mode the first time. No balls are added to play for collecting these jackpots. Completing TOMMY moves you to Stage 4. Stage 4 Original: The left ramp is lit for the super jackpot, and the right ramp is lit for the double super jackpot. The initial values are 250M and 500M respectively, and go up by 1M and 2M respectively for each playfield switch. Hitting the Tommy hole increases the Jackpot value by 4M, and the Double Jackpot value by 8M. You can only collect one of these two jackpots, so if you are going for the big points, avoid the temptation of shooting the much easier left ramp, and go for the right ramp. When you collect ONE of the super jackpots, you move to Stage 5. Update: Super Jackpots: The left ramp is lit for the super jackpot, and the right ramp is lit for the double super jackpot. The initial values are 150M and 300M respectively, and go up by 1M and 2M respectively for each playfield switch. Hitting the Tommy hole increases the Jackpot value by 4M, and the Double Jackpot value by 8M. You can only collect one of these two jackpots, so if you are going for the big points, avoid the temptation of shooting the much easier left ramp, and go for the right ramp. When you collect ONE of the super jackpots, you move to Stage 5. Stage 5 Original: You go back to stage 1 of the multiball, but the Blinder remains active. Initial jackpot values return to their original values. Update: You go back to stage 1 of the multiball, but the Blinder remains active, and you do not get any new balls added if you collect a ramp jackpot. Initial jackpot values will now be double their base values (Stage 1/2 jackpot now starts at 40M, Stage 3 jackpot now starts at 60M, Stage 4 super jackpot now starts at 300M). If you make it back to Stage 3 then there will be no TOMMY letters spotted. If you don't collect at least one jackpot, then the Left Scoop and Mirror are relit for 2-Ball multiball (which is not as bad as it seems, because collecting a jackpot still adds a ball into play, so you can still end up with up to 5-Ball multiball). After the first multiball, only the Tommy hole is lit to start/restart multiball. If Adjustment 47 (Jackpot Criterion) is set to Extra Easy then the Blinders will not activate during Stage 2. Adjustment 48 - Multiball Ready Style Original: Has no effect on the game. Game always spots 3 TOMMY letters between balls. Player is guaranteed to have TOMMY spelled by third ball. Update: Controls how many TOMMY letters are spotted between balls as detailed below. EXTRA EASY will spot 3 letters (0 letters after multi-ball) - This is same as game played in v.4.00. Ball 1 = T Ball 2 = TOMM Ball 3 = TOMMY (Multi-ball ready) EASY will spot 2 letters (0 letters after multi-ball) Ball 1 = T Ball 2 = TOM Ball 3 = TOMMY (Multi-ball ready) MEDIUM will spot 1 letter (0 letters after multi-ball) - This is the default Ball 1 = T Ball 2 = TO Ball 3 = TOM HARD will spot 0 letters always Ball 1 = T Ball 2 = T Ball 3 = T EXTRA HARD will spot 0 letters and will reset to T between balls (will reset to nothing after multi-ball) Ball 1 = T Ball 2 = T Ball 3 = T COMBOS and BONUSES Unique Combos 3 Way Combo: Right Ramp > Left Ramp > Right Scoop.

This bonus and the multiplier are reset at the beginning of each ball. MISCELLANEOUS CHANGES Added previously unused voice call “Go to the mirror” to when Multiball is ready.

Extended time slightly before ejecting balls at start of Multiball so player can see entire video sequence. Added previously unused voice call “Amazing journey” to end of Multiball if at least one Jackpot has been achieved. Added sound effect to Pop Bumpers during There’s A Doctor.

Both spinners now activate nearby flashers. Fixed graphical bug with Extra Ball and Multi Ball in Mystery Award. Removed 1M bonus when aborting End Of Ball Bonus display. Made it so if Bonus Multiplier is maxed out when you hit the Captive Ball then the player is granted 20M instead of 10M. Lyman Bonus animation will now play if Adjustment 4 (Replay Awards) is set to Extra Ball. Previously this animation would only play if Adjustment 4 was set to Credit. It would always collect correctly; it just wouldn't show the animation. Lyman Bonus animation will pause longer to give player a chance to bask in its glory and see the total score.Testimonials: "I can't stop playing. As-is right now, this game is a BLAST.
