[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 40679, member: 152"] If the ROM has determined that the Powerball is the only ball on the playfield, the Powerfield will become unavailable. Shooting the right ramp with the Powerball [I]should[/I] simply feed the ball to the bridge diverter and back onto the regular playfield. It is still possible for the Battle the Power insert to be illuminated at the right ramp, and it is even still possible for stacks of Battle the Power to be earned from Hitchhikers, the Door Panel award "Battle the Power", or the Red award from Super Skill Shot. (The table will properly keep track of the number of Power battles earned once the Powerball leaves play and the Powerfield is available again.) That being said, this is one of the most common malfunctions in Twilight Zone, especially if the Powerball was not properly detected in the trough and it gets up the right ramp before going into Camera, Dead End or Piano (to trip the other proximity sensor). If this happens, the nonmagnetic Powerball will head to the Powerfield for Battle the Power. Of course, Magna-Flip will have no effect on the Powerball, leading to a wasted Battle the Power round. The nature of what exactly causes the condition "the Powerball was not properly detected in the trough" in TPA with its virtual Powerball, virtual (non-)magnetism, and virtual proximity sensors is left as an exercise for the reader.
