[QUOTE="Gorgar, post: 270960, member: 259"] So, I almost got the Super Jackpot. I was literally a shot away on two occasions and choked. New discovery and very useful tip: if you are on ball 2 and have not activated mega mode yet, the joker hole will activate mega mode 100% of the time. This means that if you drain ball 1 right away, you can start up mega mode twice very easily (through the joker hole reward and getting your first straight on the back glass) instead of once. You can also get it a third time if the upper middle chip is lit after getting a hand, but it is really difficult to light on purpose since you have to hit the bumpers to change it. If you need to activate it a fourth time, you will have to complete the entire backglass plus another straight or complete all hands and luckily have the upper middle chip lit. Once mega mode is activated, start by going for the jackpot in the upper play field. You can try to cradle a ball on the lower left flipper while shooting the other ball into the center Ace and to the upper flipper, but you will have to become good at juggling balls. Shoot the ball when it is towards the end of the upper flipper and if you are lucky it will either go around the orbit and collect a card or hit a card directly. You might want to stop before you collect the Ace and go for the lower jackpots because if you collect a single jackpot, it doesn't give you the chance to restart mega mode (without resorting to one of the methods mentioned above). The middle jackpot usually seems to collect itself while going for the upper playfield jackpot, so you usually just have to worry about the two jackpots on the sides. Once you collect all four jackpots ... don't choke! I'm really hoping I get this one soon so that I can focus on the "limp dick" plunger on Banzai Run when it is released. [/QUOTE]
