[QUOTE="Bahnzo, post: 256994, member: 376"] So after playing this for a couple weeks, here's my strategy. First, the skill shot is broken for the most part. You are supposed to be able to hold the left flipper and a full plunge will take the ball all the way around so you can catch it on the left flipper, ala MM's skill shot (along with others). But the plunger doesn't always plunge at full strength and the ball winds up in the upper lanes. Why this needs to be fixed, is because hitting the skill shot early is important. If you can catch the ball and hit the "A" in the GEARS drop targets as the light cycles on it, you are awarded two gears and a "powershift". But the gears are the important part. Those two gears are pretty valuable. SO FIX IT FARSIGHT! (please). Regardless of whether I get the skill shot or not, I always use the ball saver time to hit as many GEARS targets as I can. And if during the normal course of play I find a single GEARS target remaining, I always make it a priority to complete that. Why all this about the gears? Because GEARS multiball is the best way I've found so far to score big points. And you want to start it at least in 5th gear (I've yet to get a 6th gear...yet). I always cancel the multiball unless I've got it at 5th gear, unless it's my last ball and I don't feel confident in knocking down more GEARS targets. But the super jackpot increases greatly when you get to 5th and a ton more in 6th gear. Besides that, I always start one of the two lower game modes first...Rally Race or Stunt Driver. The are the easiest to complete and you get the extra ball shot after completing the first mode, so you get that quickly as well. Speaking of extra balls, the only other way I've found to get more is the Toolbox. So make sure you complete the flipper roll-over lanes which enable the Toolbox at the mustang scoop. They can be stacked, so you don't have to shoot the scoop each time you complete it. Also, after completing a mode, make sure you then complete the two pop up "Caution" targets as well as the Mystery Ford shot. The two pop ups are worth decent points, but more important they give you a "powershift" each, which is important as you progress thru the modes. After the first easy mode, I then do the other easy one. Again, because it's easy, but also because you want to again get those powershifts at the end. The powershifts allow you to skip shots in a mode, and I always save them for "Cruisin". After that I do the two other top ones that aren't "Cruisin", because they aren't as tough and again you can amass powershifts. I try to save them for Crusin' because at the end of the mode you have to hit these shots that cycle from one to the other. And you have to do it a couple times (or more?) and they get faster.
