MULTIBALL PLAY (HYPERFORCE)
Completing centre drop-target bank activates left captive hole ("Activate
Warbase" lamp flashes). Completing right drop-target bank activates right captive hole ("Activate Warbase" lamp flashes).
When
either Warbase is captured, the Stargate is lowered and the plastic tube LEDs are strobed. After a ball is captured in either
captive hole, a ball is kicked to the ball shooter. The Launch ball kicker lane flashes to indicate that if a ball enters the
lane either through the plastic tube or from the playfield, it and any captive ball(s) will be released for multi-ball play.
During multiball play, captive holes (Warbases) cannot capture a ball ("Activate Warbase" lamps remain off).
Multiball play with 2 balls is achieved when either captive hole captures a ball and the next ball enters the Launch ball
kicker lane. The "Warp I" lamp turns on, indicating that all playfield scoring is 3x the value of normal 1-ball play. Playfield
scoring reverts to normal 1-ball scoring when a ball enters the outhole. "Warp I" lamp turns off. Multiball
play with 3 balls is achieved when 2 balls are captured and the 3rd ball enters the Launch ball kicker lane. The "Warp II" lamp
turns on, indicating that all playfield scoring is 5x the value of normal 1-ball play. When the first ball enters the outhole,
playfield scoring drops to Warp I value. "Warp II" lamp turns off and "Warp I" lamp turns on. When the second ball enters the
outhole, the "Warp I" lamp turns off and 1-ball play resumes. If multiball is not achieved during a
ball-in-play all captive balls are released and will enter the outhole before the next ball is released to the ball shooter.
Activated Warbases for capturing balls are remembered from ball-to-ball.
STARGATE FEATURE - If no ball is captured, a ball that passes over the right return rollover will lower the Stargate. If a
ball enters the Launch lane through the plastic tube or from the playfield before hitting a pop-bumper, 50'000 points is
awarded. Hitting a pop bumper ends the Stargate feature.
LAST CHANCE FEATURE - A captive ball will become a ball-in-play when the player's last ball enters the outhole through a side
outlane. The last chance feature does not occur if an extra ball has been won. If 1 ball is captive, it will be released for
play when the player's ball exits either outlane. If 2 balls are captive, only 1 ball will be released, corresponding to the
outlane the player's ball exits. The LAST CHANCE feature can be disabled with game adjustment switch #31 in the off position.
EXTRA BALL - Entering a Warbase when the warbase Extra Ball lamp is lit. Left Warbase lights upper left return rollover for
Extra Ball, and right Warbase lights upper right spot target for Extra Ball.
SPECIAL - Entering a Warbase when the warbase Special lamp is lit. Left Warbase lights left outlane for Special, and right
Warbase lights right outlane for Special. Specials can be relit on the same ball in play.
MULTIPLIERS - Bonus multipliers ("Bonus Blasters") and Warbase score multipliers are advanced by either completing the M-A-R-S
rollover sequence or entering the Launch lane. When the multiplier reaches 5x, the M-A-R-S rollovers remain unlit, and all
pop-bumpers are lit.
