So…um…any word if the Herman Munster Madness bug will be fixed by this weekend for the SPC, or should we all be learning exactly how to exploit that?
- Enter Munster Madness (play Herman and Raven, time out Spot and Grandpa)
- Start 6x
- Wait for timer to expire
- Shoot in order: left ramp, right loop, right ramp, left loop… you now have 600 million
- Complete any monster (meanwhile hit Kitty to extend 6x time)
- Wait for timer to expire
- Shoot in order the same 4 shots… the base was bigger so now you’re closing in on 2 billion
- etc
Good luck! In Circuit ladder this will be especially interesting with the goal to not to finish last…

This certainly ruins the tradition of Elwin breaking these out during the Circuit Finals.
Please no more talk of crazy game breaking exploit bugs. I prefer watching it unfold live … Against Zach

Dwight sent out beta code that fixes this. I assumed someone involved with the tournament has it.
It’s already been fixed. Monster Madness is different.

Ok, so the question then is will this new version (that it seems some people have already seen, not to mention the Stern employees) be used Saturday? This gives the rest of us, at most, 2 days to learn it, if it was released tomorrow.

-
Added HOW-TO play rule videos to the attract mode

New Munster Madness level - This is a four ball multiball
- Moved the old Munster Madness to level II and increased the scoring. - Created a new Munster Madness level I that is similar but simpler. - There are 5 areas: Herman, Raven, Lily, Spot, and Grandpa - There are two stages: - STAGE ONE - Shoot Each Area three times - Starting with Herman, you will want to shoot each area up to 3 times before the time runs out. - You can also shoot the 4 lower playfield jackpots. - You have 10 seconds per area. - When all the timer run out or you complete the area, you will move to STAGE TWO - STAGE TWO - Shoot a hurry up at the Electric Chair - In this stage, all the shots you made in stage one, including the lower level jackpots, contribute to the value of a hurry up that starts to count down. - Shoot the electric Chair to collect it. - If you collect it or if it times out you will move back to stage one. - The only Zap Jackpot opportunities during this multiball are on the lower level.
Tweaked:
-
Changed Raven. One spin of the spinner moves the minute hand slower. This
makes it harder to advance the hour hand and therefore slower to increase
the jackpot values.
-
Changed Raven II. Each time the hour changes, from spinning the spinner, all
the jackpots will be relit making it harder to complete all four upgrading
them to the next color.
-
Ending Munster Madness will now clear any lit Raven shots on the left ramp.
-
Improved the Enlarging Ray Background lamp effects
-
Changed Enlarging Ray II:
- The four mini-targets do not all blink together. - One is lit at a time and it moves back and forth. - Hitting the moving target will lite all remaining jackpots. -

lights super jackpot in addition to giving you something randomly.
-

255 to 240.

-
Increased the value of stacks of Super Jackpots of 5 or more.

Where can the beta code for pro be downloaded? As of march 6 stern has new code for prem and le but not pro.
Also, not sure how to edit the rule set in initial post but in order to start enlarging ray you have to hit all 4 of the stand ups then hit any one of them just once, THEN the scoop is lit to start enlarging ray. Unless this newest code changes that. So its 5 target shots, then scoop.
Hasn’t been released yet. Still testing. I havent seen any game breaking bugs with it, so I’m sure stern will release it to the public soon.
Have you tested the Munster Madness single ball carry over bug? That can be potentially impactful to a circuit finals situation.
Can you elaborate? I’d be more than happy to help.
In the old code, Munster Madness ends upon going to single ball play, but if you’re in Phase 3 the hurryups continue counting in the background and will count if shot. This expires upon the end of Phase 3 (complete set, hurry up expires).
So we would have to get to Munster madness II then because that’s now coded like MM I used to be. Completely different rules in MM I. I’ll check both though.
Are the hurry ups still lit when this happens?
Nope! Nothing tells you they’re active - the animations play for making each shot, though.
Anyone know how to access Secret Mania?
I promise to tell everyone so it is no longer a secret

I think it’s a clue for secret mania but I’m not sure. Dwight won’t spills the beans. Haha
Did anyone figure this out yet? Noticed it on location, no idea what they represent. They are always under the last couple digits of the current player’s score.
I got nothing. They seem to follow the same pattern, but not totally sure there either.
