Godzilla Multiball

Building Damage

The “Damage Meter” window inserts in front of the building serve as the meter to tell when your locks are qualified along with the stability percent shown on the LCD screen when you do damage. Lit white arrows on the playfield indicate what shots do damage to the building. Shots to the building will do damage to the lower floor and middle floor inserts. Shots to the left or right ramp will do damage to the upper floor and middle floor inserts. Once the building stability has reached 0% and all damage meter inserts are lit red, the locks will either be lit on Premium / LE, or the multiball will be ready on Pro. Shoot the green arrow at the building to start Godzilla Multiball on Pro, or lock 3 balls on the Premium / LE. The 3rd lock on the Premium / LE will start the multiball.

Multiball

This multiball starts with 3 balls. Arrows will light for Jackpots with the base value being 500K * number of Godzilla Multiball starts. This value is increased by 250K for each Jackpot awarded. You can also build the Jackpot value by hitting building shots. The arrow color will indicate the multiplier level of that shot. Shoot a lit arrow to score a Jackpot and advance that shot to the next Jackpot X. Jackpots can only be advanced twice and the third shot will award but not be lit again until the Super Jackpot is awarded. The Jackpot X levels are:

  • Blue – 1X Jackpot
  • Green – 2X Jackpot
  • Yellow – 3X Jackpot
  • Orange – 4X Jackpot
  • Red – 5X Jackpot

Once the Super Jackpot is awarded the Jackpots will relight at +1X of their initial color, but will never default higher than Yellow (3X) after a 3rd Super Jackpot. 6 Jackpot shots will light Super Jackpot at the Building Shot. The damage meter inserts will fill to indicate Jackpot progress to light Super Jackpot. The Super Jackpot base value consists of all Jackpot shot value collected in preceding Jackpot round. Completing all lit shots will award +1X when Super Jackpot is collected. Shoot backwards through the building and add another +1X. Add A Ball is awarded by hitting the 3 Mechagodzilla shield standup targets on Premium / LE or hitting the 2 Mechagodzilla shield standup targets plus 1 shot to the right spinner. In both cases a final shot to the right spinner will award the Add A Ball.

Mecha Godzilla Multiball

Mechagodzilla Offline

Shoot the right spinner enough times to reach the threshold to bring Mechagodzilla online and deploy him to the battlefield. The Mechagodzilla target lights will turn from green to yellow to red the closer you are to bringing himonline.

Mechagodzilla Online

When the flasher dome behind Mechagodzilla is flashing he is now online. Shoot the spinner and Mechagodzilla will deploy his Defense Neo Barrier and on the Premium / LE the spinner shot will be replaced with 3 standup targets.

Defense Neo Barrier

Shoot the 3 teal standup targets. On the Pro the right spinner will act as the right shot for this stage. Once all shots in the bank are completed the Barrier will be disabled and the Mechagodzilla flasher dome will be pulsing. On the Premium / LE the target bank will change back to the spinner shot.

Multiball Lit

Shoot the right spinner to begin the Mechagodzilla multiball when the flasher dome is pulsing.

Multiball

The multiball starts with 3 balls. Blue arrows are lit at the ramps and the building for 1X Jackpots worth 1M + 500K for each Mechagodzilla Multiball start. Each Jackpot collected increases the next Jackpot by 250K. Shoot any Jackpot to unlight the remaining jackpots and light shield targets. Shoot any of the shield targets to collect another 1x jackpot and re-light the remaining 2 jackpot shots. Shoot one of the remaining jackpots for 2x jackpot then shield lights again with the two remaining targets. Shoot a shield target again for another 2x jackpot. The lone remaining jackpot arrow relights. Shoot for 3x jackpot, then final shield hit on the last remaining target for another 3x jackpot. On the Pro the right spinner shot will act as the right shot for the shield target. The Super Jackpot phase now begins for 15 second timed build phase on all 3 spinners. Shoot any spinner for 350K a spin and add 500K a spin to the Super Jackpot value. Once time expires the spinners are unlit and the Mechagodzilla side lane lights for the Super Jackpot collect for 20 seconds or until it’s collected. If you drain down to 1 ball during the first Super Jackpot phase there will be a 10 second grace period before the mode ends to try and cash in the Super Jackpot at it’s current value. The Super Jackpot value starts at 4X the Jackpot value when the spinner build phase starts.

Monster Monitor

Each city in the game requires you to collect each of the Monster Monitor inserts to do damage to a particular part of the city. The more damage that is done to the city, the more Carnage Bonus you will receive when it becomes time to leave the city. When an insert is collected it will be steadily pulsing on / off. The four Monster Monitor inserts and their collection conditions are:

  • Raid – complete a Tier 1 Kaiju Battle
  • Tanks – complete Tank Attack Multiball
  • Bridge – complete Bridge Attack Multiball
  • Power – complete Tesla Strike

Raid

Raid is the only feature that is required to be attempted to change to a different city. All the other features are optional, but passing them up may result in missing out on big scores. In order to collect the Raid insert, you must defeat the Tier 1 monster for a particular city in a Kaiju Battle. See Kaiju Battles below.

Tanks

In order to collect the Tanks insert you must start and finish a Tank Attack Multiball. There are initially 2 round green tank inserts that are randomly lit up on various shots. Shoot the shots indicated by these green inserts to collect 10 tanks in order to qualify the multiball. Once the multiball is qualified the tank insert located at the scoop will begin flashing quickly. Lighting this multiball will block any lit Select City and Kaiju Battles until the mode is complete. Shoot the scoop to start the multiball. Subsequent starts of the multiball will increase the difficulty of the qualifying stage requiring more tank shots to start. See Tank Attack Multiball below.

Bridge

In order to collect the Bridge insert you must start and finish a Bridge Attack Multiball. Collect switches to light the Attack Bridge insert. Once lit, you can shoot the bridge / captive ball shot to “damage” the bridge. Continue to damage the bridge until the bridge integrity value reaches 0% at which point the bridge will collapse and Bridge Out insert on either the left or right ramp billboards will light. On Premium / LE games the side Bridge Out lights on depends on which floor the building is at. For Pro builds the side Bridge Out lights is random. Shoot the Bridge Out ramp to begin the multiball. Subsequent starts of the multiball will increase the difficulty of the qualifying stage requiring more switches to start. See Bridge Attack Multiball below.

Power

In order to collect the Power insert you must start and finish Tesla Strike. Shoot the powerline standup targets to complete sets of targets until Powerline Attack starts. Powerline Attack will begin a single roving target from left to right that must be hit 5 times to begin Tesla Strike. Subsequent starts of Tesla Strike will increase the difficulty of the qualifying stage requiring more target hits to start. See Tesla Strike below. When one of the objectives above is completed Destruction Jackpot will be lit at the building. Also, if you have completed half the shots in a Tier 1 mode and already chosen to stay in the current city the Select City insert at the scoop will light.

Kaiju Battles

To qualify a Kaiju Battle you must shoot a left and right ramp that are indicating Light Battle on the billboard insert located near the left and right ramps. This will then light the Kaiju Battle on the billboard insert located above the scoop. Once the battle is lit at the scoop you can shoot the scoop to bring up the Kaiju Battle Select which will allow you to select your opponent for the current city. On the Kaiju Battle Screen there will be 2 columns of Monsters. Tier 1 on the left and Tier 2 on the right. Tier 2 Battles are initially locked. Use the left and right flippers to move the actively selected battle. Use the action button or flip both flippers to make your selection. After a period of inactivity the currently selected battle will automatically be selected.

Tier 1 Battles

The available Tier 1 battles are:

  • Godzilla vs. Ebirah
  • Godzilla vs. Titanosaurus
  • Godzilla vs. Gigan
  • Godzilla vs. Megalon

Once you select a Tier 1 Kaiju for a particular city, that Kaiju will stay locked into that city for the duration of the game and will control that city unless you complete the Battle Mode’s objectives. All Tier 1 battles are timed 60 second modes. Draining or running out of time causes the battle to end. If you fail to complete the Kaiju Battle, the scoop billboard will relight the Kaiju Battle so you can have another attempt. Kaiju Battle progress is saved from mode to mode so you don’t have to start over on subsequent retries of Tier 1 battles. If you manage to complete half of the objectives required for a Tier 1 battle you will Light Ally as well as unlock the Tier 2 battles for that city. The exception to this is the first city (Tokyo) where Tier 2 battles are never available. Changing cities or starting a Tier 2 Kaiju battle before you have completed the Tier 1 Kaiju battle will leave the enemy Kaiju in control of that city for the remainder of the game. At the end of each successful Tier 1 battle, a timer bonus is scored worth 500K x the number of seconds remaining in the mode when the player made the final blow. If this is not the first time the mode has been played the timer bonus is reduced to 50K x the number of seconds remaining. Jet Fighter Attack, Tesla Strike, and any Multiball modes can be activated during and stacked with Tier 1 battles. A Kaiju Battle cannot be started if a multiball is already running or if Tank Multiball is lit at the scoop.

Godzilla vs Ebirah

4 shots are required to defeat Ebirah. Collect 15 spins from the left and right spinners each, and 40 spins from the center spinner. The first completed spinner scores 5M. The second completed spinner scores 10M. The third completed spinner scores 15M. After completing all three spinners, shoot the pop bumper for the final blow which scores 25M. Completing two spinner shots is required to light Ally and qualify the Tier 2 battles.

Godzilla vs Titanosaurus

5 shots are required to defeat Titanosaurus. In order the shots are:

  1. Left Powerline Target
  2. Center Powerline Target
  3. Right Powerline Target
  4. Maser Cannon Target
  5. Captive Ball

The first target scores 4 million, then 7M, 10M, 15M, and the final shot is 20M. Each shot to the Mechagodzilla shield bank of yellow flashing targets scores 1M and adds 500K to the next shot. A right spinner rip on the Pro isequivalent to hitting the Mechagodzilla shield bank targets. Completing three shots is required to light Ally and qualify the Tier 2 battles.

Godzilla vs Gigan

8 shots are required to defeat Gigan. Left and right ramp shots award 1M + 500K per shot. Making a ramp lights the opposite ramp for a combo worth 2X. The final blow is worth 2X for non-combo shots and 4X for combo shots. Completing four shots is required to light Ally and qualify the Tier 2 battles.

Godzilla vs Megalon

7 shots are required to defeat Megalon. A random flashing yellow shot will light for about 10 seconds but this time gets faster when the mode timer is getting close to timing out. Hitting the flashing shot before it times out will award 4M at 1X. Each shot that is made and doesn’t time out adds 1X to the shot award to a maximum of 5X. If a shot times out the shot multiplier is reset to 1X and Megalon will go underground before he locates a new shot. Shooting switches when Megalon is underground will build value for the next award by 45K a switch. Shooting Ramps when Megalon is underground will build value for the next award by 250K a ramp and will cause Megalon to appear on the next shot in a predictable way. Shooting the left ramp will cause Megalon to appear on the right ramp. Shooting the right ramp will cause Megalon to appear on the Building shot. If none of the ramps are hit while Megalon is underground it will timeout and he will again show up on a random shot. The final blow is worth a normal shot +10M. Completing 4 shots is required to light Ally and qualify Tier 2 battles.

Tier 2 Battles

Tier 2 battles take priority over other running modes and do not allow stacking. These battles are different from Tier 1 battles in that they don’t have any win conditions. There are incentives to make you want to keep building value and getting higher scores however. After playing each of these modes the Select City insert will be lit at the scoop.

The available Tier 2 battles are:

  • Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan vs. King Ghidorah
  • Godzilla and Jet Jaguar vs Megalon and Gigan
  • Godzilla and Anguirus vs. King Ghidorah and Gigan

Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan vs. King Ghidorah

Shoot flashing shots to defeat King Ghidorah. Mode time starts at 75 seconds. An arrow shot will award 400K to start. The color of the shot will change each time it is made from Green (1X), Yellow (2X), Red (4X) and will add 150K. Hitting enough shots to collect a red arrow will light the scoop for a Jackpot. Collecting additional red arrows will increase the Jackpot multiplier. Shooting the scoop when lit awards a Jackpot worth 8M + 1.5M x each arrowcollected and allows you to choose Fight or Flee.

Selecting Fight:

  • Adds 35 seconds the first time
  • Adds 15 seconds the second time
  • Adds 10 seconds the third time and beyond
  • Relights all jackpot shots and the jackpot value carries over.

Selecting Flee:

  • Awards a final jackpot worth the Jackpot x current Jackpot multiplier + 200K * seconds remaining in the mode
  • The mode is ended and normal play resumes. If the time runs out or the ball drains, normal play resumes.

Godzilla a and Jet Jaguar vs Megalon and Gigan

This mode starts as a 3 ball multiball. Two shots light up to represent Gigan and Megalon. They will count down via RGB color. The color sequence will go from yellow to orange to red. Shoot the shot before the red times out to award a jackpot that scores 1.5M to start. Complete the other shot to award a multiplied jackpot and light a Jet Jaguar counterattack super jackpot shot at the right spinner shot. Shoot the super jackpot for 2X at first with an increasing value for each difficulty up to 4X. Each super jackpot increases the jackpot value by 500K. After a super jackpot, the shot difficulty increases and two new shots light up. When a shot times out Jet Jaguar is attacked and the multiplier resets along with both jackpots being re-lit.

Godzilla and Anguirus vs. King Ghidorah and Gigan

Mode time starts at 75 seconds. All switch hits score points and build jackpot value. Switches score 50k and add 35k to jackpot. Reach the spin threshold to light all shot arrows. Shot arrows score 2.5M and add 350K to jackpot. Jackpot starts a 1M. Shoot through the building to Magnet Grab for Fight or Flee or shoot arrows to build X and jackpot further. When Fight or Flee is shot all arrow shots unlight.

Selecting Fight:

  • Adds 35 seconds the first time
  • Adds 25 seconds the second time
  • Adds 10 seconds the third and beyond
  • Starts the switch phase again and you must reach the threshold to relight the arrows

Selecting Flee:

  • Collects jackpot with multipliers + 200K * seconds remaining in the mode
  • The mode is ended and normal play resumes.

If the time runs out or the ball drains, normal play resumes

TaTank Attack Multiball

This is a 2 ball multiball. Shoot the tanks before they reach Godzilla on the bridge / captive ball shot. Flashing tank inserts will spawn at the left spinner and scoop shots. Initially when you start the mode there will also be a tank located on the right ramp. As time passes the tank inserts will move toward the captive ball shot one shot at a time. Newly spawned tanks are worth 2.5M points and are reduced in value 500K each time the shot moves closer to Godzilla. Tank value will never be reduced below 1.5M no matter how many times the tank moves. When you shoot a tank shot and “destroy” the tank you are awarded the current tank’s value and new tanks will now spawn at 2.5M + 150K * number of tanks destroyed which carries over from multiball to multiball. If you destroy enough tanks to reach a threshold the super jackpot at the Maser Cannon target will light. The super jackpot is worth 1M + 50% of the sum of all collected tanks for the current wave (not including playfield multiplier). The mode begins with a 3X multiplier for Maser Super Jackpots. If a tank reaches Godzilla and times out, the tank will fire on Godzilla and reduce the multiplier by 1X. The current wave you are on will carry over from multiball to multiball. The thresholds for tanks needed to reach the super jackpot for each wave are:

  • Wave 1: 4 tanks
  • Wave 2: 5 tanks
  • Wave 3: 6 tanks
  • Wave 4: 7 tanks
  • Wave 5 and beyond: 8 tanks

Playing Tank Attack Multiball will light an Annihilation Bonus. See the Annihilation Bonus below.

Bridge Attack Multiball

This is a 2 ball multiball. Flashing orange shots light to score jackpots worth 1M each. Shooting the right ramp will boost the jackpot value by 250K. Collect 4 jackpots to light double jackpots at the bridge / captive ball shot. Collect 2 double jackpots to light a timed super jackpot on the right ramp for 15 seconds. The super jackpot value is 6X the jackpot value. The first super jackpot you collect will add a ball. You can collect as many super jackpots as possible during the 15 second timer. Once the super jackpot has timed out the jackpot shots are lit orange again and their values are increased by 750K. Playing Bridge Attack Multiball will light an Annihilation Bonus. See the Annihilation Bonus below.

Tesla Strike

This is an untimed single-ball mode that can stack with Tier 1 battles and multiballs. Begin the mode by shooting the center spinner to build the Tesla Strike value. Tesla Strike value starts at 2M and is increased by 100K each center spinner spin. Once the spinner is spun, blue flashing shots are lit for the current Tesla Strike value. Shoot a blue arrow to collect the Tesla Strike award and relight the spinner at +1X the increment value. Repeat this process until all the blue shots have all been collected to complete the mode. Draining the ball or changing cities will also complete the mode early. Subsequent starts of Tesla Strike will increment the starting value of the spinner by 2M. Playing Tesla Strike will light an Annihilation Bonus. See the Annihilation Bonus below.

Deststruction Jackpot

Destruction Jackpot is a 2 stage award where you first need to light the “Light Destruction Jackpot” insert at the building shot. Once the building is lit, shoot through the building and the Magna-Grab post will hold the ball. The ball will stabilize on the magnet and a countdown of 3-2-1 will be heard while the “Destruction Jackpot” insert will light at the big loop shot. The ball will then be dropped to the upper flipper which can shoot the big loop to collect Destruction Jackpot. A generous grace period is given to collect the Destruction Jackpot if you miss the initial loop shot.

  • Destruction Jackpot value = base value x Destruction Jackpot multiplier.

The base value starts at 5M, and increases permanently by 1M for each Monster Monitor insert collected. 5% of the scores from modes associated with the Monster Monitor inserts, Monster Rampage, and Jet Fighter Attack and 3% of the scores from Godzilla Multiball and Mechagodzilla Multiball are added as well, however, this portion of the increment is reset after changing cities. You can also increase the Destruction Jackpot permanently by 15M by controlling the 4th city (win all Tier 1 Kaiju Battles)

The Destruction Jackpot multiplier starts at 1x and increases permanently throughout the game when then following objectives are achieved:

  • Win a Tier 1 Kaiju Battle
  • Collect 10 Trains
  • Collect 25 loops
  • Collect a Level 3 Imposter Battle
  • Destroy 15 Jet Fighters
  • Destroy 12, 20, or 30 Saucers (1X for each threshold)
  • Complete the Rage Combo sequence

Annihilation Bonus

When you play the required modes to light the Tanks, Bridge, and Power Monster Monitor insert an Annihilation

A bonus shot will be lit until a new city is selected. The Annihilation shots are:

  • Tanks – a single pulsing green tank shot with a starting value at 2% of the Tank Attack Multiball total in that city
  • Bridge – hitting a switch threshold to light a pulsing Attack Bridge insert with starting value at 4% of the Bridge Attack Multiball total in that city
  • Power – a single pulsing Powerline Target with starting value at 2% of the Tesla Strike total in that city

Annihilation Bonus value can be boosted by +1% for doing the following:

  • Collect a Destruction Jackpot
  • Collect a Level 2 Imposter Battle

The Annihilation Bonus multiplier can be increased +1X for each Annihilation Bonus (Tanks, Bridge, or Power) that is still running on the same ball up to 3X. Once the ball has drained, any Annihilation Bonuses that were running will no longer contribute to the multiplier but any new ones started still may contribute on the next ball. In addition, once the ball has drained the mode value for those running modes is reset to 20M base value. Therefore, it is highly desired to start all Annihilation Bonuses on the same ball and get them all running at once with a high score in each of the qualifying modes to maximize the bonus value.

Carnage Bonus

Once the player leaves a City, they will score the Carnage Bonus. The value collected includes a base value of the Destruction Jackpot as well as the total scores from all three types of Annihilation Bonus the player has collected. This value is multiplied by +1x for each Annihilation Bonus that has been lit on the current ball, plus an additional +1x for having started all the Annihilation Bonuses in a city.

City Select

The right scoop will light for City Select occasionally and allow you to change your current City, or remain in the current one. The game always begins in Tokyo. You may also select New York, London, and Paris. Once you change cities you may never travel back to the old city. There is a preview of the current Carnage Bonus visible when you currently have highlighted a new city that you haven’t traveled to. This can be used to see if you would rather continue building Carnage value and stay in the current city or travel to a new City and collect the Carnage value. If you decide to stay in the same city you will have to complete one of the unfinished Monster Monitor features to re-light City Select again. If there are no more Monster Monitor features left to complete (the city is completely destroyed), you will have no choice but to select a new city.

The clear city inserts are lit in the following way:

  • Pulsing: Godzilla controls City / Tier 1 Battle won
  • Lit steady: Monster controls City / Tier 1 Battle lost
  • Flashing: This is the current city

City Perks

Perks are awarded as Godzilla defeats the Tier 1 Kaiju in a city and conquers a number of cities. All cities Godzilla controls gives a permanent +1 Bonus X.

The city-specific perks are:

  • Tokyo gives +1% Annihilation Bonus
  • New York gives +2M Saucer base value
  • Paris gives +500K Loop value
  • London gives +4M Destruction Jackpot

  • 1st City gives 5M and +3 Godzilla Powerup
  • 2nd City gives 10M and Extra Ball
  • 3rd City gives 20M and Turbo Heat Ray (Heat Ray Action Button hold time is shorter)
  • 4th City gives 40M and +15M Destruction Jackpot

Jet Fighter Attack

Collecting Missiles

This is a hurry-up mode that can be started by inlanes rollover collection. The Advance Fighter inserts in the inlanes indicate when a Missile can be collected. There are 3 missiles on each side of the playfield. Light all 6 missiles to begin Jet Fighter Attack.

Hurry Up

Shoot roving red arrows to destroy Jet Fighters and collect the hurry-up value which starts at 1M and counts down over time. Each fighter destroyed will reset the hurry-up value at a +1M and temporarily pause the countdown. If 5 Jets are destroyed during the mode the left spinner will light for a final hurry-up starting at 3X the normal hurry-up value. Each additional Jet Fighter Attack start the base values are incremented by 500K.

Saucer Attack

Lighting Saucer Attack

You then have a limited amount of time to shoot the Pop Bumper to destroy a Saucer. Each time you destroy a Saucer the Pop Bumper threshold to light Saucer Attack grows by 3 and the Saucer level is increased.

Destroying the Saucer starts at 2M + 100K for each pop hit built up to that point. 75% of the built value is reset after each Saucer is destroyed. You can also ally pass through the right inlanes to destroy 2 saucers for a single lit Saucer Attack. Awards are given for reaching specific thresholds of.

  • 6 Saucers: Light Saucer Attack Multiball
  • 12 Saucers: both +1x and Lights Destruction Jackpot
  • 20 Saucers and every 10 Saucers beyond: both +1x and Lights Destruction Jackpot

Saucer Attack Multiball

When the Pop Bumper is hit to start Multiball, the flippers will turn off and the balls will drain and wait for the mode intro to complete. 3 balls will then launch from the trough and the multiball will start.

Targeting phase

Shoot white arrows to target between 2 and 4 of Saucers. The more Saucer Super Jackpots scored the more difficult shots and greater number of them are required. Award starts at 2.5M + 1M for each Saucer Jackpot scored.

Locked on phase

If the timer expires the Saucer Jackpot phase will end and the Targeting phase will start  over again.

Magna-Grab & Imposter Battle

When the right inlane is lit and the ball rolls over it, the Magna-Grab will light to score points and capture the ball. If the magnet fails to capture the ball the next switch hit will kill the display, however, points will still be awarded. The player can control when the Magna-Grab releases the ball by pressing both flippers. The Magna-Grab display effect must be running at the time to drop the ball. If you drop the ball directly to the flipper and shoot the big loop all loops will be awarded at 2X. Alternatively, you may time the release of the ball as it is swinging so that it enters the left Under Flipper lane and triggers the Skill Shot roll under switch within a short time period and you will be awarded one of the Imposter Battle awards:

  • Level 1 – 15M and Light Ally

Collect Ally

When Summon Ally is lit on the scoop billboard you can now shoot the scoop to collect an Ally. The currently lit Ally insert on the playfield will cycle between unlit ones using the right flipper. You can then set up a shot to the scoop by holding the ball on the left flipper, and use the right flipper to light the ally you want before shooting the scoop.

Rage Combo

Rage combo is available on the left lane and is lit primarily from every 3 levels of Heat Ray that you level up. You can also light it by the Light Inlanes Mystery award. Rolling over the lit left inlane will light the right ramp to start the

5-way Rage Combo sequence. The following shots must be made in succession:

  1. Right Ramp
  2. Left Ramp
  3. Center Spinner
  4. Big Loop
  5. Tail Whip

Each shot awards 3M + 1M x the number of the shot in the sequence. For each activation, the base value will increment by 1M. Making 3 of the 5 shots will light an Ally. You can light Ally up to 3 times per game on different Rage Combo attempts. The 2d time it awards on the 4th shot and the 3rd time it awards on the 5th shot. Making the 5th and final shot will score a 20M bonus and increase the Destruction Jackpot multiplier as well as light it- which can only be done one time per game.

Monstster Rampage

Spellout

Complete the R-A-M-P-A-G-E spellout to start Monster Rampage. Each letter can be collected at the left spinner at the start of a game, after changing Cities, after collecting a Destruction Jackpot, or after collecting an Ally.

Rampage

This single ball mode starts with a generous ball save. The shots will move left to right across the playfield every 15 seconds. You can shoot the lit shot repeatedly as many times as you can before it moves on to the next shot.

The jackpot value starts at 3M and increases by 1M for each jackpot collected. The roving shot sequence is:

  1. Left Ramp
  2. Building
  3. Center Spinner (around this point in time ball save ends)
  4. Right Ramp
  5. Loop
  6. Tail Whip
  7. Left Spinner

Make 10 shots during the mode to award an Extra Ball the first time the mode is run. On subsequent starts you will be awarded +1X Destruction Jackpot.

Heat Rayay

Charging

Charge the Heat Ray by spinning the center spinner enough times. The playfield inserts will indicate what level the Heat Ray is currently at. When the Heat Ray insert is flashing all by itself the Heat Ray is charged.

Activating

The action button will begin flashing blue once eligible shots can be collected by the Heat Ray. Once the action button is flashing, hold the action button to build up the Heat Ray to collect all lit shots. As soon as the meter on the display reaches 100% the shots will be collected and the sum total of all awarded shots will be displayed. The more times you use the Heat-Ray, the longer you will need to hold the action button to use it, however, this can be sped up by conquering three Cities. The Heat Ray cannot be used on Destruction Jackpots.

Super Spinner

After using the Heat Ray, the next spinner shot will score Super Spinner points for 1 spinner rip only. Super Spinner spins are worth 6X per spin the normal spinner value but this value is capped to 25M or 50M if Rodan (2X Playfield) is running.

Cooldown

Heat Ray enters a cooldown period when used in Tier 2 Kaiju Battles and multiballs. Once the mode ends the Heat Ray can begin charging again.

Cityty Combos

Each of the 4 Cities has a set of unique combos, 3 combos on the Premium / LE and 2 on the Pro. Hit each shot in sequence to get the award. There is no time limit between shots as long as no other switches kill the combo. An Extra Ball is awarded after completing 5 City Combos.

If no mode is running, this will award a Minilla Wallop of just 5K. Any time a Wallop is awarded it will also light Advance Train at the left ramp if it is not already lit.

Shooting through the building or starting another multiball will end the mode before the timer has counted down.

Right Ramp Loops

Right Ramp Shots will add 3 seconds to the timer. Shooting 4 consecutive Right Ramps from the Left Flipper will cause the building to deliver the ball to the Right flipper on the 5th consecutive Right Ramp shot and will then light a Train Jackpot on the Left Ramp to be shot from the Right Flipper.
