[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 119868, member: 3745"] [b]The Gangway extra ball is NOT limited.[/b] I collected it at least five times in a game. Since you can collect both that and the Mystery Mirror EB on every ball, yeah it's pretty easy to play Funhouse forever, you can make up for a ball that drains too quick without completing the mirror. Quick Multiball is a great time to go for Gangways towards that EB. Trap a ball on each flipper. Shoot the ramp with one and the right Gangway with the other (time it so the first ball trips the inlane switch just before the second ball enters the orbit.) The Gangway ball can then be shot at Rudy for the million, or the trap door lane then Rudy for 3-way and 4-way combos. As for regular multiball, I've got a simpler sequence for hitting the million plus than Sean described in the first post of this thread, once you hit the trap door once. - Start with ball 1 on the right flipper and ball 2 about to come out of the scoop eject (like after a trap door shot) - Shoot ramp with ball 1, then hold the right flipper to catch ball 2 out of the scoop and keep holding it - With ball 1 from the ramp, shoot the lock hallway - With ball 1 from the lock, shoot the trap door - Start over again by shooting the ramp with still-held ball 2 before ball 1 comes out of the eject. If you keep the timing on the right rhythm, you don't need the mirror shot at all. Before each ball ejects from the scoop, start the ramp-lock-trapdoor sequence with the other ball. That's all there is to it. Ramp - right Gangway - trapdoor is also an option, which is more fun IMO and works towards the Gangway EB, though recovering from misses is more chancy. phreaker47's method of hitting the trap door from the lock eject by shooting very early and banking off the T (STEP) target works very well for me on the PC version. When the outlane gate is open to the stairs (this only happens from the mirror, not the other methods of enabling the stairs), avoid the ramp if you can help it, the stairs rewards are paltry and you'd rather have the outlane save available. Finally, did something happen to the leaderboard? The discussion here seems to indicate several players have crept close to 1 billion scores, but the leaderboard I see on the PC version and website shows the top score as 846m. (Well, top after the 999m I just put up.) [/QUOTE]
