Cook-offs [Orange Shots]
You face off against "The Stars of BBQ" to cook up different recipes. These start with 3 orange shots to complete and increase as you play. The order in which you face them does not affect the game.The recipe value grows from switch hits and various game features but resets when you drain.
Cook-off wins can award you up to 5 stars which you earn by doing the following:
- Completing the main recipe – Shooting the orange shots
- Getting your Spinner Sauce – Hitting enough spinners to fill the sauce bottle
- Spice – Hit the mild & spicy targets to find the correct level
- Side Dish 1 – 1st drop target set
- Side Dish 2 – 2nd drop target set
Each star upgrades your trophy and gives a +1 multiplier toward your cash-out award. Get your trophy and cash out award by hitting any of the open saucers.
Complete 3 Cook-offs to start Meat Coma Multiball.
BOSS and CHEF Top Lanes
-
The right flipper changes the bottom row from left to right
-
The left flipper changes the top row from right to left

- Increases the value of the recipe currently being served by 150K + 25K each additional completion for the ball
- Awards one lit orange arrow shot toward the current recipe

- Gives a BOSS award:

Fire Lanes
The FIRE lanes start a short, timed feature. A score will roll up quickly (200k - 1M base value), resetting after hitting its maximum and cycling until the mode is completed.
Making either blue orbit shot will finish the mode and add the base value to your score and the recipe value. Failing to complete the feature before the time runs out will half your recipe value.
Each FIRE Hurry-up completed during a ball will add a +0.5x multiplier to the next one with a maximum multiplier of 5x. Although the multiplied value is paid to your score, only the base (1X) value is added to the recipe value.
Starting the FIRE Hurry-up with an outlane will save your ball! Although, you will still need to handle that fire.
Meat Coma Multiball
Win three Cook-Offs to start the mini-wizard multiball mode “Meat Coma” immediately afterward.
Six “areas” are lit in red for jackpots: Both ramps, both orbits, and the 2 stand-up banks. Hitting one removes the red from the area. Hitting any target in a bank removes the red lights from the whole bank.
After hitting and unlighting all six, the saucers are lit in red for Jackpot. Shoot or Bash Lock any saucer to collect, and the six areas will light in red again. You get an Add-A-Ball the first three times you complete this.
This mode will continue for 20 seconds in single-ball play and will allow adding a ball to continue the mode if you have one available.
Hot Rod Challenges [Purple Shots]
Hitting the orbits with flashing "Qualify Challenge" inserts will qualify a Challenge (Mode). Once qualified, the challenge you will play is lit in the inserts at the bottom of the screen. The flippers change the lit Challenge insert as well as bumpers and targets.Hitting an open saucer with a lit "Start Challenge" circular insert will start the next challenge. However, you can raise the value of the next Challenge's shots before starting it by hitting purple arrow shots around the playfield first. Be careful ... if you drain before starting the Challenge, you lose those value increases.
The timed challenge will be the lit purple shots across the playfield. On completion, they award specific perks. These challenges are:
-

Pitmaster Multiball
Pitmaster Multiball is started by locking at least one ball in either of the side saucers and then hitting the saucer further back on the right side of the playfield.
The Progressive Jackpot is briefly displayed (carried across all players AND games until collected)
The Progressive increases by the Multiball Jackpot you brought into this Multiball
- Tournament Mode: The Progressive is standardized across players and games at 500,000,000
Then, the screen scrolls down to your base Multiball Jackpot that you just brought into the Multiball
- Shooting orange cook-off shots increases the Multiball Jackpot by the Recipe Value.
Jackpots start at 1x your Multiball Jackpot base value, then 1.5x, then 2x, and so on until the 19th Jackpot which is worth 10x, and the 20th Jackpot which is worth 15x.
You will have a chance at the Progressive after collecting the 20th Jackpot.
Shooting a Jackpot unlights it and moves you up the ladder by one step. Shooting the upper-right saucer that started the multiball will re-light some jackpots.
There will always be at least one Jackpot lit during Pitmaster Multiball.
The Multiball Jackpot resets after you play Pitmaster Multiball.
Super Jackpot and Mega Jackpot saucer combos
Putting a ball in any saucer will briefly light the other saucers.
Hitting another saucer before the first ball is released will award a Super Jackpot which is the sum of the next two jackpots up the ladder.
After collecting a Super Jackpot, shooting the third saucer before the other two balls are released will award a Mega Jackpot. This is the sum of the next two jackpots up the ladder after the Super Jackpot.
Side Dishes (Drop Targets)
There are a few different ones but the side dish names themselves have the same function no matter which one you get.
Every drop target completion earns a Bonus X with an increase in spinner value, and sweeping them doubles the effect.
The first two drop target completions in a Cook-Off give you Stars for “Side Dish 1” and “Side Dish 2”. Subsequent completions still add to your end-of-ball bonus and add value to the “Side Dishes” line on your Judges’ Report Card when you finish a Cook-Off. This is the screen where you get your trophy and BIG POINTS award.
The difference is which insert is lit when you hit a drop target to stop the cycle – completing the drop targets can give you:
- Increase Bonus X – add more Bonus X
- Increase Challenge value – Increase shot value for next mode
- Increase Spinner Value – add more to spinner value
Sweeping them doubles this effect too.
Side Dish Multiball
Collecting all the flashing inserts at the side dish drop targets will start Side Dish Multiball. Red shots score Jackpots worth the Multiball Jackpot value. Jackpot value will increment after several switch hits that are shown via a countdown on the playfield LCD screen.
Relight all Jackpots by completing the drop targets. Even if you collect all the flashing jackpot shots, there will always be at least one jackpot ready that will move after you shoot it.
The Multiball Jackpot resets after you play Side Dish Multiball.
The second Side Dish Multiball requires you to collect two complete sets of the side dish inserts to start it.
Other Features
Bonus X
The center grid indicates the current Bonus X which has a maximum of 21X (1X + 2X + 3X + 4X + 5X + 6X)-
Increase the Bonus X via the drop targets, BOSS awards, and the Double Bonus X BBQ PIT Award.
-
Earning Bonus X after reaching the maximum of 21X scores bonus points
Playfield Multiplier
The right ramp has inserts in front of it that display the playfield multiplier. Hitting it will increment the playfield multiplier by 1, such that it becomes 1.5x, 2x, etc. until a maximum of 4x. There are BBQ pit awards, skill shots, and top inlanes that enhance this feature by making it easier to build or making it last longer.
BBQ PIT Targets
Completing the BBQ stand-up targets on the left and the PIT targets in the middle will grant various awards throughout the game. The stand-up target on the right will change what will be awarded. This is displayed on the right-hand side of the main screen.
Firework Frenzy Multiball
Hitting a ball that is already captured in a saucer will grant fireworks. At 10 fireworks, Firework Frenzy Multiball begins.
Jackpots start at 5,000,000 and can be increased at the left ramp or by collecting jackpots at saucers. Once a saucer is made, a countdown begins. If the countdown reaches zero, any locked balls will be ejected. Any fireworks scored by locking balls or hitting a ball already in a saucer will reset the timer.
Locking balls in other saucers continues to award jackpots - locking all remaining balls in saucers before the timer runs out adds a ball and awards a Super Jackpot.
Combos
Hitting shots in succession will award combos indicated by white arrows. Combomania starts at 15 combos for the game.- Combomania is a 60-second feature where 1-way combos also score.
- Combomania can be brought into a multiball but cannot be started while already playing a multiball.
