Stern Godzilla general thread (not a rulesheet!)

Hooray for magnets! Only with magnets could ridiculous pictures like this be possible. (And worst of all, it caused my 2x scoring to time out. Lol)

Anyone figured out how to get the 3x Super Jackpot during Godzilla MB? I assume it has to do with getting really deep into the multiball but I’ve only ever gotten single Super Jackpots and the 2x from shooting the reverse building.

Given that the jackpot arrows turn off after 5x at a red arrow, I’ll wager that you need to collect all the 5x’s? I got close on my last game, only had left ramp and loop at 3/4x. Anyone actually collected them all during a mb?

I thought the SJP lights after a certain number of jackpots (perhaps it’s a combo of # of jackpots and multiplier of jackpots collected, ie you need 10 jackpots, which can be 5 singles, a double and a triple). And only increments for each SJP collected. So to get a 3x SJP would be possible only after collecting a single and a double SJP, or shooting backwards when a 2x SJP is lit.

Edit: Wrong according to rulesheet -

Qualify super jackpots by shooting enough Jackpot shots - 5 for the first one, but 5 more than the last are needed for subsequent super jackpots. Collect the Super Jackpot (red arrow) at the building, worth the total value of jackpots collected x the lowest multiplier active at the jackpot shots (ie. if all five shots are lit green, then 2x super jackpot will be scored for 10 million points, etc.).

So the jacks start blue, then green then yellow then red. So they all need to be yellow and then get the backdoor doubler for a 6x SJP? 5x exactly doesn’t seem possible with how everything works.

It’s pretty straight forward actually. Complete all lit arrows for +1X to super. Shoot backwards though the building for another +1x

All lit arrows start blue. I shoot each once for +1x to the super? So that would mean I’m at 4x after collecting all the reds. How will I know I’ve done that? Will they go from flashing to solid when your collect a red arrow?

Just play tested. If I collect all the jackpots possible it’s only 3 on each shot (triple jackpots). Then I have to collect a super. After that I can get to 4x jackpots (orange color). Collecting the super backwards only gave me a 4x super. Or at least that’s what it said on the display. Maybe another round of jackpots gets me setup with a 4x super then a backwards collect gets the 5x?

sorry no, unlighting each arrow (3 jackpots) on each shot is a +1. But the further you go the easier it is to get the +1 since there are fewer arrows to collect.

So take the first super (1X or 2X) quick, then go for the triple when it takes less shots. I can do that. Makes sense that this achievement and destroying 5 buildings in a game are the toughest. Not going to get either on accident. Has anyone plowed through 5 buildings yet?

Now that I understand it better, I’m definitely going to try to do this concisely.

@sk8ball what about giving the player an award for destroying all the tasks in a city before changing cities? Maybe let the DJP value carry over to the next city?

Right now is there an incentive to trying to complete everything in a city before moving on? Is that the thought with the Annihilation jackpots I guess?

I know this isn’t really a mod group, but this is a mod I added to my Godzilla. Trains turned on when the train insert is lit. The LEDs give a fire effect and I painted the vinyl bank to match ZY’s art on the playfield.

Wow, that looks so much better than the stock toy. Nice paint job!

Thanks, really tried to match ZY’s playfield art.

There will be incentive yes. Right now the only incentive is to finish city objectives on the same ball to multiply the annihilation awards.

And to keep collecting destruction jackpots right? Since the value doesn’t reset until you change city

This an extraordinary game in every possible way that a game can be great, and in some new and creative ways too.

Also, I think that the PAPA Carnegie headquarters carpeting pattern in the building is very cool and absolutely hilarious. I also really appreciate the cannon mystery shot in that it’s at a good angle to be shot at from the flipper, and at a bad angle to get a lucky unearned hit off of a slingshot. Also, Keith’s games’ mystery awards are far more meaningful than many other mystery awards on many other games.

Hit a bug in .85

Kaiju battle lit as a mystery award and when hitting the scoop it shows the initial battle select screen, but then kicks you out. I had defeated one kaiju at this point.

Another bug on the Pro, though this was on older code than .85 - during Megalon, if you shoot the last building shot required to light Godzilla Multiball, the timer for the multiplied shot won’t freeze.

Any ideas for preventing this ball trap? I get it from time to time at different levels of steepness, and have been able to bump it out without tilting only once in at least a dozen tries.
