Guardians of the Galaxy Pinball Rulesheet

Just to be clear a path to a 24x shot would include:

  • The shot you’re hitting be on 2x
  • Into the Groot mouth for 2x and again for 3x (6x)
  • Rampage running for another 2x (12x)
  • Combo the multiplied shot while all this is running for a 24x shot

The highest the total playfiled multiplier could be is 6x?
From Groot 3x and Rampage 2x-

You got it!

Mostly, it’s useful for the one tap Supers - Yaka, Quill, and Sibling. Knowhere will always make lists too because for a multishot mode it’s just TOO BIG to miss out on.

With 0.95, I thought this was no longer a thing (on default settings of max Hadron of 3)?

Good question. Is it limited to one Hadron (3 presses) or 3 Hadrons (9 presses)? Our local GOTG has not updated the code yet.

One Hadron collection = 3 presses (limit).

Have Hadron lit, cash it before collecting a Hadron = 6 presses.

Have Hadron lit, cash it before collecting a Hadron, burn it, mystery a Hadron (need to figure that out on tourney install) = 9 presses.

A pipe dream, I know.

Came upon a software bug last night. Had 2 Balls locked for ORB Multiball, hit the mystery scoop which awarded me the 3rd Orb Lock target hit and lit the ORB Multi ready insert. Hit the ball into the orb lane and was awarded ball lock #1.

Latest code in machine.

New code out

URL for some reason changed for the video since I posted the link, weird. New code broken, bonus carry over? :smiley:

Hahahaha. Whoops.
But hey, at least it’s so egregious that you can’t miss it initially, unlike some other past carryover between players like Kiss.

We went through almost all of expo2015 not realizing it was doing the same thing on thrones. Granted, there weren’t 2player games until the finals.

Tilting does the reset the bonuses though

cue ethical discussion about tactical tilts again

It seems like v1.01 still has some issues with bonus carrying over between games. Good idea to reboot this game between rounds if you are using it in a tournament.

Yep, some of the bonus still carry’s over if you get an extra ball it seems. Code 1.01 still needs some bonus work.

Wow. No doubt. 10x bonus values for P4 only vs other players for similar ball time.

Caught a couple of bugs on GOTG Pro (1.04) yesterday.

With ball in shooter lane, the right flipper stayed up. No response to the flipper button. I launched the ball into play using the action button, and the flipper went down. Never seen one of these before.

Second. If you restart a game with a ball in the Orb, you will need a power cycle to get out of that one.

I’d imagine this was a mechanical issue more than a software bug. I’ve seen this type of behavior many times but mainly when a coil stop has the knobby bit broken loose from the metal bracket.

Right. This one was legit. Had my analytic stethoscope out claiming - “No activity”.

Made a bunch of various edits/corrections.

There is a wide spectrum of potential values to various modes Level 2 values: some are worth an amount that’s dependent on how well you played the mode (at least Sibling Rivalry and Yaka Arrow), one is worth a value that’s dependent on your total score at the time (Quill’s Quest), and the others are a question mark to me.

I believe they simply score a fixed base value per shot (or switch, or target, etc), independent of how well you played the respective Level 1 mode. Can someone please confirm?

  • Super Ramps (Pod Chase): fixed base value, correct?
  • Super Targets (Sanctuary): fixed base value, correct?
  • Super Switches (Antiquities): fixed base value, correct?
  • Super Loops (Knowhere): fixed base value, correct?
  • Super Pops (Yaka): excluding the Yondo shot payoff, the pops score at a fixed base value, correct?
  • Super Lanes (Escape Kyln): fixed base value, correct?
