Tips & strategies

[relaxation]

I don't believe I got the boost value anymore.

In the previous manner I described didn't happen here, it was...
Start mode from saucer
Shoot left ramp and into the turbo
shoot ball falling from the pop bumpers into the turbo (two balls are stuck here)
locked ball comes down into the inlane, passed it to other flipper
stuck ball falls as other goes into turbo
rebound from the right post of the left ramp brings the ball down the right inlane and the multiball animation starts
too many inlanes might be the trigger, from drains/relaunches or other methods

One of my instances was started at 8,873M, ended at 9,849M, difference was 976M
Boot turbo 20, 30, 50, 60, 80, 90, 90, 90: 510
Jackpot + Supers 50, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60: 410

Neither comes close to the difference, so they both count even if Boost doesn't do it's DMD animation of speeding off into the distance.

Other tips..

Utilize the timer on pit stop multiball early in the game to get your position up, or later in the game to up your lite-ups safely or your bonus multiplier without starting modes.

The Start Race saucer is nice if you don't have a victory lap yet and you just got playfield x3 started and you need to start the checkered flag.

dealing with the Video Game "Caution Mode"

In Bowen's tutorial video he plays it twice and gets 30 and then 27, for 57/60. The only tips I get from watching him is that he is always moving, and that he cannot be a human with the same central nervous system reflexes as the rest of us. Same as when I watch him throwing toast at Spike the dog on JY.

Spike on JunkYard has set patterns you'll notice over time, the pace just quickens.
