PAPA 18 Strategies Wiki

TOTAN: Try and get Lightning Lamp going while the Ruby is also lit. One of the rewards from this if Lightning Lamp is activated will be 3x Lamp Scoring, which multiplies all values from the mode by 3 and resets the timer. Once you have this lit, start Genie Multi-Ball and go for big points. There’s also a strategy where you can start Harem while in Genie Battle but I’m not sure it works in PAPA.

Surf 'n Safari: Multiball is especially high scoring on this game. The Super Jackpot is an easy 30m if you know how to cradle well. Time out all modes (besides maybe Boomerang and Whirlpool Millions) as they are on very short timers in this table. Always try and get DOUBLE completed for 2x scoring. Complete as many Grids as possible because they award major points in end-of-ball bonus.

Godzilla: Read the BSD rulesheet :wink: but no, seriously, this is a Multiball stacking game like BSD. All Multiball modes are qualified at the left orbit. For each Multiball activated, a larger points bonus will be rewarded and the number of shots lit and value of the Jackpot will increase too. Activating all Multiballs also begins the table’s wizard mode, Save New York. Size Does Matter may be worth it but I don’t know how major the scoring is in that mode.

Wizard of Oz: Try and stack as many Multiball and single-ball modes as possible. For each Multiball stacked there is a Super X playfield multiplier that increases for each one active, and mode scoring can just become lucrative with the multiplier. Just try not to activate Fireball Frenzy in a stack as it WILL become annoying when you’re shooting a major shot and progress gets ticked off. Rescue Multiball scores big too, especially the Mega Jackpot (but it sounds really hard to get so I wouldn’t count on getting it.)

Rolling Stones: On my experience Records Multiball is probably the highest scoring mode (4-ball mode with similar rules to Total Anhillation in AFM) but do whatever you feel like, there isn’t anything terribly unbalanced in this game.

X-Men LE: Go for as many Unique Combos as possible as they qualify Deadpool as a helper, which is extremely silly and help you easily win Villain modes. Gambit scores big as well if you know how to hit the bumper tf rom the upper flipper. Avoid starting Weapon X Multiball as there isn’t much to go for in it, it blocks out other modes, and it doesn’t score much. Go for Dark Phoenix if you can because it can potentially score big points.
