[QUOTE="mpclemens, post: 99333, member: 3012"] Given that it's the table of the month, I've been playing Centaur quote a bit lately, and I've noticed that the ball does what I think of as the "TOTAN wiggle": the ball dances back and forth like there's a capture magnet under the table (as in TOTAN's genie hole) but the physics engine renders this as the ball vibrating back and forth while the "magnet" is on. In Centaur, this happens in the Release Target lane -- the upper right-hand lane on the table. Presumably there's some mode that turns this on as the wiggle is intermittent. I haven't played it enough to figure out the exact circumstances since I'm usually getting slapped around by a bad ricochet. In the PAPA video, though, I see that the ball can return to the plunger through an opening next to the release target. It happens around the 1:22-1:24 mark on their "Gameplay" video.
