THE CHAMPION PUB RULESHEET BY Poln ________________________________________________________________________________ Design Credits -------------- Pete "Pound a Few" Piotrowski -- Concept and Design Dwight "Kunckles" Sullivan -- Software and Designer Brad "Xacto" Cornell -- Mech Engineering and Design Rich "Big Daddy" 'O Carle -- Music and Sound Paul "the Brawler" Barker -- Art and Design Linda "the Real Deal" Doanne -- Art and Design Adam "Smasher" Rhine -- Dot Guy Tim "the irishman" Moran -- Web page Designer Voices ------ Jon Hey -- Master Bim Bam Boom, Crazy Bob, and Pierre LePunche Vince Pontarelli -- Steveo and Sir Winston Pounds Herman Sanchez -- Armando Santiago and Patrotsky Yirbitov Rich Carle -- Dan Unda and Antonio Jaberini Scott Stevenson -- Drunk, Franz von Pain, and Kunckles O'Brien Greg Friers -- Your Coach Credits For Making This Rulesheet Possible ------------------------------------------ Champion Pub website Matt Magnasco (matt@teriyaki.resnet.gatech.edu) John Lange (jlange@vt.edu) Bowen Kerins (bowenk@bu.edu) Paul "Ponche" Jongma (greatmilenko@freemail.nl) Playfield/Layout ---------------- Basically, there are minimum requirements to do certain things. It's printed on almost every part of the playfield. If you are a first timer, you can look at the board and see what you will need to do in a certain area. It won't explain everything, just the basics. Flippers -- 2 Standard flippers. Can't go wrong here. Post -- Located between the flippers. This is similar to A13, MA (Mario Andretti), and Fire!. It goes up when you start a new ball, when you start a fight, or as an award from Poker Night (Ace High). When it goes up, it's up for a short time. If the ball goes through the post during the game, you lost the ball. Too bad. At the start of a new ball (except for balls after locks), if the ball goes through the outlane while the post is up, then the ball is saved. Ball will NOT be saved if you won the fight, post is up and ball went though the outlane. Exceptions are.. - When completing 3rd fight, you start Raid M. - When completing 5th fight, you start Champion M. Also, ball is lost when during fight, the ball ends up in the outlanes unless, Second Wind is lit. Slingshots -- 2 Basic standard ones. Left inlane/outlane -- Same.. When the ball goes through the inlane, the jackpot at the right orbit (or scoop) is lit for a short time unless it's already lit. Outlane, you're out of luck unless Second Wind is lit. There is NO kickback. There is a post nearby to adjust the length of the outlane. The jackpot light alternate when the ball goes through the slingshot. Left Saucer -- Similar to NBAFB. Call it the corner shot. Starts Spittin' Gallery, Poker Night, awards Extra Ball, increase the purse value and start of the Ultimate Challenge (Grand Finale)^. It will also start the fight. It will usually add 1/2 life towards start fight. ^It will be lit when everything is completed. You can start the grand finale by shooting left/right orbits as well. Left Orbit/Scoop -- Shoot this goes to the saucer which will flip up to the jump rope area if Jump Rope is lit. Otherwise, the scoop will go down and it will feed to the left inlane. (If it is down, award in a similar fashion as the right Scoop). It will start the fight as well. When it leaves, it will go down on the habitrail to the left inlane. During Multiball sessions, it will loop around and exit through the right orbit (similar to NBAFB). Jump Rope -- Not easy to explain here. Basically, there is a magnet which holds the ball, a sensor?, small stick that pops up when you hit the flippers, and an object which moves around during jump rope sessions. When doing it, an object will move around and when you press the flippers, a white stick will pop up making the ball go up and down. Sensor? I don't know if there is one, but it may be used for how many jumps completed. The optimum time to flip the ball is when the jump rope is even with the crease in the right flap. Left Ramp -- Used for going up to the Speed Bag area, awards Jackpot when lit, or increase the Purse Value and add 1-2 life bars during the fight. There is a diverter at the top of the ramp to go either way. In any case, it will feed the right habitrail towards to right inlane. It can also setup to earn jackpot. Speed Bag -- When you are in that area.. there is a punching bag and two plastic objects (hands). Use your flippers to move the hand in which you hit the bag. The left flipper for left, right flipper for right. You have 5 seconds to hit as many as you can. Pop-up post -- This will pop up when your supposed to go to jump rope area from the left or to a lock area on the right. Inner-left passage #1 -- You can't access it. Generally feeds to the saucer from the left orbit. Will pop-up to the jump rope area. Pop-up saucer -- When the ball lands there, it will pop-up the ball into the jump rope area, where you either jump, or move along the habitrail to the left inlane. Two Yellow stand ups -- One is located near the left ramp, other is located near the right orbit/scoop. Each hit will count towards increasing the Multiplier by 1. It takes 3 hits to increase the multiplier so 3 hits you will get 2X Mult., another 3 hits, 3X Mult. etc. There is NO Hold Bonus. I am not sure what the maximum bonus is (hope is not 250X like MM/AFM/MB/CC. If it is, sue me). 2 Green Hook Ramps -- (that's the official name from Bally/Williams). Generally does is to hit towards the head. This awards you K.O. or a head shot award. Heavy Bag/Big Person -- This is a major part of this pinball game much like the Ringmaster in CV. Generally, you will start hitting heavy bags for a while. When fight starts, or during Champion Multiball or F. Multiball, it will turn around and you will see a man. The arms used are movement to punch you during a fight. Sort of like Sega's Frankenstein, but not close. Occasionally, if heavy bag is shown, the ball may get stuck in the back which you may have to wait until the machine does the ball search. Inner Right Passage #2 -- You can't access it. Generally feeds to the lock mecinism. Lock Mecinism -- Generally locks balls if Lock is Lit, or lands there during door prize in skill shot or start fight begins. Right Orbit/Scoop -- Similar position to JY. Shoot this will award Lock, or Start Fight. If scoop is down, it will count towards start of hurry-up value or towards lighting K.O. or add value during hurry-up. During M-ball sessions, it will loop around and exit the left orbit. 3 Beer Yellow Targets -- Light all 3 and the purse value will increase and/or light lock which earn you towards 2nd and subsequent reg. multiball. 3rd or later, you will need to light the yellow targets 2x each. If you lost the ball, the targets will still be lit until you hit all 3 (unlike Merlin's Magic from MM where it resets when ball is lost). Right Inlane/Outlane/Against the Ropes -- This gets to be tricky explaining. Maybe you can help me out here. Inlane/outlane is standard (same as left). On the right side past the beer yellow targets, you are "Against the Ropes"/Danger Zone. There are a series of posts at staggered locations. The ball may land in the Ball Launcher, Right Inlane, Right outlane, or back into the center playfield. It's like Plinko (sort of) from "The Price is Right" (TV Game Show). Only it's flat. If it ends up in the launch area, it will shoot it up and put the ball back in play or start a match. LED Meter -- Used in fight situations, lights will flash or steady. Shows your level meter on your strength. Objective --------- The objective of this game is to earn jewels on the belt. You need to do the following elements. Each element earned awards 500K. -Training Jewel * Minimum of 6 Jumps in Jump Rope. (cumulative) * Minimum of 6 Hits in Speed Bag. (cumulative) * Approximately 10 hits on Heavy Bag. Only counts toward a jewel when you earn your life bar towards Start Fight. Once you complete the minimum requirements, you cannot do them again until you complete the others (e.g. if you completed jump rope, you cannot use that method again until you completed Heavy Bag and Speed Bag). When you did all this, you can start them again. Finish it again, you earn another 500K. In those training sessions on Jump Rope and/or Speed Bag, after 10 consecutive jumps/hits, 2x purse value will be added. After 20 jumps/hits (consecutive), you will be awarded a Smart Punch. Get as many as you can and see if you can break the record. "Keep training, Kid." For Jump Rope session, the maximum jumps allowed is 30. If you made 30 jumps, you can put your initials at the end of the game for being a Jump Rope Champion (no credit, though). This is the same for Speed Bag. Maximum hits is 30. -Earn 3 Multiballs * F. Multiball (explain in Multiball session) * Raid Multiball (After winning 3rd fight) * Multi-Brawl (Regular Lock 3 Ball(s) method to start this type) -Get a K.O. during a fight To do this.. you need to go through the scoops 1 each, 1 on each side so if you did a jab combo on one side, you will need to do it on the other side. Each jab combo is worth 50K. If you did them, one of the K.O. lights is lit (towards the green ramp) and you have approximately 5 sec. to get a "head shot" to beat him. You can also press the Launch Button to simulate the "Smart Punch"/head shot and it will award a K.O. The 2nd time requires 3 Jab Combos, 3rd time, 4 JC, etc. NOTE: If one of the scoop diverters is broken in the up position, it is impossible to earn a K.O. towards Ultimate Challenge. So the alternative is to do the "Cash Fight" method through the rest of the game. (Unless you earned Royal Flush in Poker Night and awarded a jewel which happens to be the K.O. jewel in which you can earn towards UC). -Complete all 15 Jackpot Levels (Self Explanatory) During normal mode, if you went through the inlane to one of the lighted "Lit Jackpot," [7] then one of the jackpots will appear for a short time, which you would have a chance to earn it. You can also make it lit by.. go through the left ramp to make it lit, by skill shot method, or as an award from Door Prize.. Jackpots are lit during reg. Multiball, and Champion Multiball. Jackpots start at 100K and increases by 100K up to 1.5 Million. You will maxed out at that point thereafter. Jackpots are cumulative. I haven't seen a jackpot this low (100K) since Medieval Madness. [7] The "Lit Jackpot" alternate between inlanes each time a slingshot fires. Only happens in a normal session. Here are the names used for types of jackpots... (do you remember Latin?) Jackpot 100,000 Double Jackpot 200,000 Triple Jackpot 300,000 Quadruple Jackpot 400,000 Quintuple Jackpot 500,000 Sextuple Jackpot 600,000 Septuple Jackpot 700,000 Octuple Jackpot 800,000 Super Jackpot 900,000 Mega Jackpot 1 million Ultra Jackpot 1.1 million Turbo Jackpot 1.2 million Maximum Jackpot 1.3 million Cow of a...Jackpot 1.4 million Jackpot Deluxe 1.5 million In addition, you need to..be Pub Champion... to do this.. Win 5 fights. After the 5th fight, Champion Multiball starts and you are the Pub Champion. If 2 to 4 players earned it. The last person get to put in the initials at the very end of the game. Once you complete, you will get a chance to do the Ultimate Challenge. Quotes for start of game ------------------------ "Good to see you, Kid." "Good to see you again, Kid." "Welcome to Champion Pub, Kid." "Welcome back, Kid." "I'm your coach, Kid, and you will need to pay attention." (?) "I'm your coach, Kid, and you will need some training." "I'm your coach, Kid, _________________________________." (etc..) Start of Game ------------- When you start your game, 3 life bars has been started for you. You will also press and hold the launch button until you let go, choosing what award you'll try to get. Skill Shot ---------- This is different. Similar to JY, but you will need to hold the Launch button. When released, you will get that award as the ball pops up from the launch area and loops around and exits the left orbit towards the left flipper (similar to FT). Sometimes, it will hit an object and will go either to the lock mechinism (which will eventually award lock if lit), or exit through the right orbit. There are different awards to offer. 10 - Earn 10 points. Very dismal. 5X - Get Bonus Multiplier 5X added so you start with 6X. 2X Purse - Double the current Purse Value ! - Starts Hurry Up Mode (Shadow Boxing) M - 1 Million Added to your score $ - All Jackpots Lit (Remains lit till you collect it) Fist - Smart Punch ! and $ alternate each other during skill shot session. _ |$| - Door Prize. If selected, you will see people and penguins leave the - pub and determines what award you will receive. If this is selected, ball will be forced into the lock area. You won't award a lock, just a place where a ball can be rested while the computer will search a prize for you. Here are the possible awards from Door Prize: * Lite Spittin' Gallery (Video Mode) * Lite Poker Night (Video Mode) * Second Wind (will lit in one of the outlanes) Similar to Recycle in JY, but you can only get it through door prize or in the hurry-up mode the 3rd time. When used, ball would be saved, 3 health bars added, and if ready, will start fight for you. * Six Health - Add 6 life bars towards start fight * Start Fight - All life bars filled up and Lights Start Fight * Extra Ball Lit - Guess what it does. It can be accumulated. * Light Lock - Ooh.. a toughie. Rarely awards this. [1] * All Jackpots Lit - Lit til you collect them. [5] [5] NOTE: This is _NOT_ awarded in a 1 player game. Will award if you have 2 players or more. * Smart Punch - Earn 1 smart punch. You can use it during the fight. Press the Launch button when you want to use it during the fight session (similar to a Troll Bomb in MM). SP awards the same as a head punch so its possible to use to award a K.O. that way. You can press the launch button during normal sessions to see how many smart punches that you currently have. =========================================================================== [1] Light Lock option can be available after you completed Multi-Brawl the 1st time. Hurry-up Skill shots..... (Shadow boxing) --------------------- You get to do this by .. 1) Go through the scoop 3 times during a normal session or during Contender Challenge session. (or) 2) As a skill shot award (or) 3) Flush hand from Poker Night. You need to hit the heavy bag once as fast as you can. 1st time the Value starts at 200K and it descends down towards ___K 2nd time the Value starts at 400K 3rd time 600K....etc.. If you go through the scoops, the value is increased by 200K and will start at the new value and will go down..You also be awarded a Jab Combo which is 50K. successful completion 1st time -- Smart Punch 2nd time -- Poker Night lit 3rd time -- Lite Second Wind (outlane) 4th time -- Extra Ball lit After the 4th time, it will start from the beginning (Smart Punch) again, but you will need 3 more jabs each time to start the hurry up. VIDEO MODES =========== There are 2 video modes in this game... Spittin' Gallery ---------------- You can earn this by + Door Prize award + When you win your 1st fight In this one, you will need to move the platoon around using your flippers [left flipper to move left, right flipper to move right]. There are 6 men side by side. You will need to move around and catch the spit before it hits the floor. You will need to catch 10 of them before you miss 3. If you miss 3, too bad. Occasionally, an EB will spit out. Catch it, and you will get an automatic extra ball (similar to FT where you shoot water skiers). Sometimes, you will see a 2nd EB spits out if you missed the first one.. Scoring: 2.5M + 250K * each spit caught + 2.5M if finished + 2.5M if perfect. so.. you earn 2.5 million bonus for catching 10. If you did it perfectly, 2.5 million bonus will be added (clean victory) thus, the maximum total would be 10M. Poker Night ----------- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |If you don't know how to play poker, ask around and hopefully, they will | |teach you the basics about poker. You will need some basic knowledge to | |play in this mode. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ You can earn this by.. - Door Prize Award - Completed the hurry-up mode the 2nd time You have 15 seconds to decide which card you want to keep and discard.. (This is a one shot deal). Use your flippers to move to a certain card, Press the Launch Button to discard or undiscard. Here are the awards for completing this... If it gives you a great hand the first time the best way is to wait for the time to expire. Sort of like video poker, but this is for amusement only. Here are the possible awards from Poker Night: Fold -- Big points 250K Fold w/ Ace High -- Red post will pop up for a short while. If the ball went through the outlanes while this is up, ball would be saved. Remember, if the ball went through the post, tough luck for you [6]. Royal Flush -- Jewel will be awarded for you. (from left to right so if you already have a training jewel, it will give you the next jewel that you need). If you already had all jewels earn, it will award you 500K instead. Pair -- Doubles the purse value Two Pair -- Increase the Bonus Multiplier by 5X 3 of a Kind -- All Jackpots Lit 4 of a Kind -- Extra Ball is Lit Straight -- Start Fight lit (ready to do battle) Flush -- Hurry Up mode started (shadow boxing) Full House -- Automatic start of multi-brawl (extra). This will not count towards how many M-brawls that you had. This is a free for you. You will be awarded a mark towards M-Ball jewel if you haven't got one yet. Straight Flush -- Maxes out the Purse value which is 60M. This award is very rare. (Thanks to "Poncke" for this info). You cannot increase the purse value any higher. Hope when you start fight, you don't lose to your opponent for this amount. This award is very rare. [6] Ace high - [4 crap cards and 1 ace]. MULTIBALLS ========== Multiballs can be stacked with the exception of Ultimate Challenge (similar to CV). There are 5 types of multiballs used in this game. All of them have a short ball saver regardless of the red post. Multi-Brawl ----------- Basic 3-ball lock method to start this. 1st time, shoot the left orbit 3 times to start it. 2nd and subsequent times you need to light all 3 yellow bear targets to lite lock individually or as an award from the door prize. When you lock the first ball, you will see the animation of someone throwing the chair past the can can girls towards the wall which you earn 250K. Quotes... "Thats ball 1, slugger." "Ball 1 is all locked up." When you lock the second ball, you will see a bartender making drinks and suddenly, he looked up and runs for cover as someone threw the bottle at him which shatters the mirror. You earned 250K for this. Quotes.. "One more, and its Multi-Brawl!" "One more, and this pub goes bullistic!" Lock the 3rd ball and ....... (guess). Jackpots are lit. The left ramp, right orbit, and bag/man is available for making a jackpot. You will need to make one of those requirements to re-lit the jackpot again. This means, you need to shoot the left ramp, hit the bag/man and right/left orbit one time, before you can do them again. Fisticuffs Multiball -------------------- This is a 2-ball multiball. To get this, you need to hit the heavy bag several times to spell out BAR FLY FISTICUFFS to get this (much like spelling out MULTIBALL in JY). You can hit the heavy bag at any time to accumulate this. When it happens, the object will turn and you will see a man. The head shot is work 500K and gut shot is worth 100K. Its sorta funny depending on your view. You will hear weird music and the voice is very drunk when is annoying, but can be fun. *If You want a quote list, see John Lane's quote list for available info. (Available at one of the address above). Raid Multiball -------------- This is a 3-ball multiball. The ONLY way you get to do this is when you win the 3rd fight. When this happens, you will see the animation that people are leaving the bar. Someone will yell "run lads, its a RAID." Every switch the ball goes through increases the value by 1,000 points from 5,000 to 50,000 points [4]. When you max it, every switch will earn you the maximum until all, but 1 ball remains or ball is lost. [4] Settings for Raid Multiball will vary from machine to machine. In my machine, it will start at 5K and will go up. Some start at 10K or whatever. Don't complain to me about this as I already noted it. Ultimate Challenge Multiball ---------------------------- See Ultimate Challenge Concurrent Multiballs --------------------- I've borrowed this from Matt Magnasco. Raid and M-B are 3-ball multiballs, and F. Multiball are 2-ball. If you stack them, you will get a 4-ball multiball, and a fresh ball saver which is similar to CV. Here are the combinations for stacking multiballs: This is what I have seen. Raid--F. Multiball--Multi-brawl [2] Raid--Multi-brawl--F. Multiball [2] Raid--F. Multiball Multi-brawl--F. Multiball F. Multiball--Multi-Brawl [2] Multi-brawl [from Poker Night]--Multi-Brawl--F. Multiball [2] [3] Multi-brawl [from Poker Night]--Multi-Brawl [2] [3] Multi-brawl [from Poker Night]--F. Multiball--Multi-Brawl [2] [3] Championship Multiball--Multi-Brawl [2] [2] This happens if and only if the next lock will get M-B. [3] You can have Multi-Brawl twice if you earn it from Poker Night. Ok.. When you are close to receive a new M-ball session (like you need 1 hit to start F. Multiball), and all balls drain, but one, you have a short grace period (about 1 sec) to do it. If you did it successfully, you will earn that type of multiball plus other multiballs that you currently have. It's not uncommon to get a big score from this and/or increase bonus X to a high level. This does NOT work in Champion Multiball. Champion Multiball ------------------ Champion Multiball is only stackable with Multi-Brawl if the next lock will start (you will need to start C-M first). To get this, you will need to win the 5th fight. If you did, you are pub champion, awarded 1M for being a champ, and C-M starts. It is a 4-ball multiball that combines Raid--F. Multiball--Multi-brawl all in one. You can earn jackpots, increase switch value, etc. You will also awarded Pub Champion of 1M for every major shot you make. Fight Against Your Opponents ============================ Once you have filled up your life bars, you are ready to fight. Shoot for the saucer, or left/right orbits. Anything else that is lit will be turned off including lite lock so you can start the match w/o delays. You can still earn an EXtra Ball if it is lit. The first match will be against 9th/10th ranked person. The 2nd is 7th/8th. 3rd..5th/6th. 4th..2nd/3rd/4th. 5th. 1st ranked. You will fight the best fighters in the world (game wise). Come on, this is 1894. Ranking is based on performance from past pinball players who fought them before who either won/lost against them. Now each pinball is different in ranking so you may or may not fight the person that you're fighting against. 12 life bars=full bar Once you start, the announcer will say "Ladies and Gents, ______________ (insert fighter here) vs. the Kid." For the 5th fight, the announcer will say "Ladies and Gents, for the title of Pub Champion, _____________ (insert 1st ranked fighter here) vs. the Kid." Post will also be up as well. You will also see the KO light on the outer lanes and SDTM. If you have Second Wind, one of the K.O. lights will be off and if you went through it, 3 life bars are added and ball saved. Then the fighter will tell you nice or taunting things that you are going to lose. You will also see at the lower part of the DMD what the purse value is. You can increase the purse value by landing the ball in "The Corner," the left ramp, or light all 3 beer targets during this session. In addition 1 to 2 life bars will be added towards you. Bell rings..fight has started. Your job is to hit the person in the center. Each gut shot (regular hit) deducts 1 to 2 life bars away from the person. You will be awarded 100K for every hit taken. Head shots are 500K and deducts 3-6 life bars from the person. Of course, you opponent will take away your life bars as well so do expect that. You can also use one of the Smart Punches which is equivalent to a head punch. Awards 500K and deduct 2-3 life bars from your opponent. If you don't have anymore smart punches, then you will hear a buzzer indicating that you don't any smart punches left. After a certain time, the post will be down. It will take about 4-6 hits or more depending on the person to defeat it. Each time you hit your opponent, you will see the picture of the fighter, who is hurt, broken eyes, bandages, etc. till you win (or lose). Every time when you take a hit or hit the person, there are voices that will say something. Mostly, your opponent. If the ball is stuck behind the hand of the man, sorry, you would have to wait until a ball search is on or moves till ball is free. I have nothing to do with this if it happened this way. When you complete enough jab combos (see above), you will have a chance to do a K.O. [one of the K.O. is lit towards your opponent]. You have approximately 5 seconds to hit them in the head to win the fight and awarded a K.O. (don't forget, you can use your smart punch for this). If you are unsuccessful, then it's back to a normal fighting session.. and you may need to start over. [ NOTE: Jab combos will vary in different settings. Some settings is that ] [ when you make a JC, it will deduct 1 life bar from your opponent, others ] [ won't so don't e-mail me about this. ] Cheat: (this is from Matt Magnasco) If your game's tilt isn't that sensitive, shaking the machine forwards and backwards will usually cause the boxer's chest to trip its switch and deduct health bars from your opponent. It is possible to defeat the boxer without the ball even being kicked back into play this way. Fighters -------- Here are the fighters (in no particular order). Remember, ranking is based on overall performance from other pinball players who have played this machine. ==Master Bim Bam Boom (from Asia) ==Knuckles O' Brian (Irish) ==Sir Winston Pounds (English) [The English Gentlemen] ==Dan Unda (Australia) [From Down Under] ==Franz Von Pain (German) ==Armando Santiago [The Spaniard] ==Steveo [USA] from San Francisco ==Pierre Lepunche (France) ==Antonio Jaberini [The Cook With the Hook] (Italian) ==Patrosky Yirbitov (Russian) *Quote list is available from John Lane (at the web address above). He did a great job on it. Also, his rulesheet gives some perspective about the fighters. Some Coach quotes during fight: ------------------------------ "Yea, your winning!" "Shake up, Kid." "You're getting clobbered, Kid." "You're losing this one, Kid." "He's running out of gas." "Go there and show them what you're made of." "Careful, Kid. Careful." "Punch his face." "Punch his jaw." Lose a fight ------------ -During the fight, if the ball goes on the outer lanes, SDTM, your opponent will take 4-7 life bars away from you and you lose the fight, and the ball. What a loss. This is much worse if you risk your points and lost it all. -You can also lose the fight if your life bars went empty before your opponent does. -Remember.. you can always build up your life bars and try to fight against him again. However, it could be harder (the 2nd or 3rd time) so be careful. -If you TILT the machine during the fight, you are automatically KOed so you automatically lose the fight. Win a fight ----------- If you win the fight, you collect the purse value, and pat yourself on the back. If you win by a K.O., you will collect the purse value, get a 1 million bonus for doing this and (if necessary) earned a jewel worth 500K. If you get a flawless victory/perfect, start fight is automatically lit for the next fighter. +Awards for winning 1st-5th fights 1st Win -- Lite Spittin Gallery. If it is lit already, then so be it. It is NOT cumulative. 2nd Win -- Extra Ball is lit 3rd Win -- Start Raid Multiball 4th Win -- Contender Challenge Contender Challenge is a hurry up mode where you need to shoot all major shots to earn points. You start at 1 million and it descends down towards 25K. Every time you make a shot, it will awards you X amount of points and goes back to 1M. Contender ends when all shots are completed, timed out after the lowest possible score, or ball is lost. Contender Challenge will not happen if you start fight immediately after the last one. Contender challenge can be stopped by a video mode or start fight?? Don't forget, the reg. hurry up mode is up there. Watch for it. Can be concurrent w/ Multi-Brawl if you start that first or awarded Full House in Poker Night. Complete all shots, and start fight is lit. If you successfuly completed all shots, then Start Fight is automaticly lit. 5th -- Pub Champion -- Champion Multiball begins -- Everything is lit. -- Win or lose, when the fight is over, you can still hit the the person as he speaks at the end of the for a Sucker Punch worth 500K. You can do this until the hear the da..dup sound, then you do what is necessary in this game. -- 0--Cash Fight, Risk your Points--0 =================================== If you did not get the jewels on the belt to start the grand finale, then you will start the Cash Fight. Use your flippers to choose which fighter you want. You have 10 seconds to do this. The points risk are determined by your score so far and the rankings of the fighter that you have just fought. (Similar to RS when you use your points to buy things), but you are risking it. You will do this method when you build up your life bars until you fulfill the requirements. Once you selected your opponent, you are ready to fight. Post will be up for a short time (shorter than your regular fight, and it could be harder). If you win, you will get the points added to your score, plus the purse value. If you lose, tough luck. Points will be deducted from your score. If the score is below the replay value, you won't get the replay again (only 1 instance per game) [like RS]. The maximum Cash Fight award is 240M. You score could increase exponentially. Wow! This is regardless of how high your score is (I don't care if it is 1.5 billion). That is the max cash award you can earn (or lost). In v1.6 ROMS, the Cash Fight awards are altered if you have 200M or better to make it more reliable. If this is your first time doing this, start small and work your way up so you won't get a big loss for starters. If you have the confidence of risking it all and you have the skill/guts to do so, fine, then do it. You will do Cash Fights as well after you did UC. 0--Ultimate Challenge--0 ======================== Ok...you have completed the requirements on the belt, now you are ready for the final battle. In order to start, first build up on your life bar (training). Once you did that, start fight is lit and the left saucer will have "Ultimate Challenge" is lit instead of "start fight" shoot the left/right orbits and/or "The corner" to start this. You will fight the 5 remaining fighters which you did not fight in the past will fight against you. You are going to try to beat all 5 fighters with 1 life bar. Can you do it? You will start with the bottom 10. As you beat the individual, you will fight another person with a higher ranking. Remember, its 1 against 5 so good luck. In addition, you will get a UC Multiball with a brief ball saver. [Regular fighting rules apply]. You are trying to get as many hits as you can to beat the fighter(s). Successful completion of this can earn you over 50 million. If you lose all but 1 ball, all is not lost. You can play with a monoball (1 ball), and regular fighting rules apply. If you win, congratulations. You are the best. You will do ______________ . --Lost to UC-- If you lost to UC, you will be awarded based on your performance. If you still have at least 2, and you lose to UC, you will start F. Multiball automatically. If it is 1 ball, then back to normal play. If you lost to UC, via outlanes/SDTM, you are ousted. [Means that you are very disappointed that you lost]. Win or lose...once you complete this, you're done. You will do "Cash Fights" for the rest of game. It can bore you out at times. You can only do the wizard mode once which is really awkward to most pinball games in which you can start over and do them again. This is for v1.5 ROMS or earlier.. for v1.6 ROMs, you may start over from the beginning (that I'm not sure). Misc. ===== Bar fly ------- If you hit the heavy bag and you hear an insect buzzing, hit the Launch button (quickly), and you will get either a "Cow Fly," "Bob Fly," or a "Bar Fly." You will be awarded 100K and a Smart Punch. Cows ---- The only cows that is known are 1) during a bar fly, a picture of a cow is shown and says "mooo." 2) 14th Jackpot worded "Cow of a... Jackpot" which awards 1.4 million. Replay ------ The sound when you earned a free credit is similar to the Sega's pinball machine where you hear a "toink" instead of a "thwack" which is similar to CV. Bugs ==== Taken from John Lange. (hope this is ok). Happened to the machine that I played as well. Bug #1 -[Later fixed in v1.6 ROMS]- There is a MAJOR bug in this game. I don't know if this applies to your machines or not. After the Ultimate Challenge, win or lose, in any method other than 1 ball left, the game will turn into a non-mode session. Nothing is working except for F. Multiball which you can do it repeatedly. How devastating this is. This will also effect through the rest of your balls and other peoples' games as well. You can remedy this by shutting the machine off, then turn it back on. When you do this, the credit(s) would not be lost. For me personally, this game is useless after a while. Except when the high scores resets and I could start over, trying to achieve to a high score. This bug is fixed in v1.6 ROMS. If this happens in your machine, you are playing an old bug. Bug the operator/manager to get the new ROMS. Bug #2 After you win the 5th fight, if the ball went to the left orbit and the lock is the 3rd lock, you will get a regular Multi-Brawl instead of Champion MB, but when you finish it, you are still Pub Champion no matter what. Just be patient and let Champion MB start first, then try to get M-B. Ball Searches ============= Ball Search.. if the ball is stuck somewhere in the playfield, the machine will do a ball search til it freed itself. If not, then one of the balls from the lock will be released and put the ball in play (if any). Otherwise, after 4-5 ball searches, the ball is considered lost and you lost the ball. The ball would be at the launcher on your next ball (unless, it is your last ball, then tough loss for you. Hope you get your money back for this). Sega pinball machines still wins. On those machines, if the ball is stuck and after 4-5 searches, it will flag the ball is missing and serve a new ball (til all balls are gone). Hey, it's better to get a fresh ball rather than losing a ball. P.S. if the ball is stuck in one of the man's arms, and movement is broken, you are "up the creek" (til a tech. person comes and takes it out or whatever). Extra Balls =========== Extra Ball can be awarded/lit by.. -Door Prize Award -Spittin' Gallery (Video Mode) -- by spitting EB out. -After Winning the 2nd fight -Hurry-up mode the 4th time (Shadow Boxer) -4 of a Kind in Poker Night (Video Mode) Animation of extra ball is when a train runs towards you. Taken from Bowen Kerins Extra Balls can be cumulative. The default behavior is to allow 4 extra balls per ball in play. Like MM, CP can allow a limit on the number of extra balls that a player may receive on any ball. In retrospect, this is how I've observed in watching and playing on this game. If you disagree with it, let's talk about it. Fun with Bonus ============== Bonus is consist of # of Life bar * 10K + # of fights * 50K + # of wins * 100K + # of K.O. * 250K * (Bonus if Any) ------------------------------ = Total Technicality. 1) Life bars does not include halves. 2) Number of fights including UC. 3) Number of wins including UC. For the Record -------------- There is the grand champion which awards you 2 credits. There are the top 4 high scores which awards you 1 credit. You can also put your initials for the most jumps in Jump Rope (max 30)* and for the most hits in Speed Bag. Credit will not be given, but it is just for the record. *Your initials will be there for doing 30 Jumps and it will stay there until someone reached that number. You can also put your initials if you are Pub Champion. It will show you what date you did this (1st time). It will remain there until someone else gets it no matter how many times you have been Pub Champion under the same initials. For multiple players, the last person who is Pub Champion will get to enter their initials. You won't get credit for this, but its there for the time being. End of Game/Match ================= You will see a hand and a punching bag. The hand will hit the bag until the bag is broken off from the top. If it is a match, you will hear some cheering/clapping that you got a free game, otherwise, game ends. Strategy ======== -Use "Smart Punch" only when necessary. If you are going to defeat the person naturally, do so. Use it in cases where the ball goes all over the place or when you opponent has about 4 life bars and you end up SDTM, or one of the outlanes. -Always try to stack multiballs. You can earn tons of points out of these. -Normal mode, try to use the left ramp several times to earn jackpots. -You may use your post towards your advantage when you want to use the left/right orbits/scoops.
