[QUOTE="SpiffyRob, post: 7219, member: 450"] I got Atlantis over the weekend, and then, as I changed strategy in an attempt to get Frog Frenzy, ended up accidentally getting Atlantis again and beating my high score. What I would recommend: -Figure out which modes you can get a letter in consistently. For me, this was Australia and Asia. For the rest: Screw it! For Europe and South America, I would just hold the ball until the timer ran out. For the multiball ones, I would just let a ball drain right away. Then, hit the right ramp, light the next continent, and you're on your way. Three passes through the continents got me six letters, and if you're lucky enough to get another letter from BOZO or Amazing Event, then you're all set. If not, one more trip through the continents should do it. -Know how to force a left flipper trap. There are a few repeatable strategies. 1. If the ball is coming from the Amazing Event scoop, hold the left flipper up. This will either force an immediate LF trap, or it will hit the slingshot and go into the right inlane. Hold the right flipper up, and this will make it across to the left flipper, and you can trap it there. This is 100% repeatable. 2. If you have the ball trapped in the right flipper, release it, and *just* as it starts to roll, flip it. If you time it right, it will hit the right ramp, sending it to the left inlane. This is tricky, but incredibly handy if you can master it. (Note: This is *not* the same trick as bouncing it off of the bottom of the slingshot. That doesn't appear to work at all on this table. (Right to left, at least.) 3. When the ball comes out of the Continent scoop (and starts to roll down the front of the right loop) hold both flippers up. The ball will roll off the upper-right flipper. Most times, this will hit, in order: bottom of left slingshot, left flipper, bottom of right slingshot, right flipper, and it will come harmlessly to rest in the left flipper trap. Sometimes it misses the right slingshot, in which case it will come to rest trapped in the right flipper. (And then you can use #2 above to get it to the left.) VERY occasionally, it will bounce straight up off of the left slingshot, leaving the potential for a SDTM, but you'll have plenty of time to nudge away from this. Hoping to get Frog Frenzy sometime this week! [/QUOTE]
