How the table is laid out
A pair of pop bumpers sits at the top, cyan on the left and coral on the right. The LIFT ramp climbs the left side, and a drop-target bank sits on the right of the mid-field.
Only two coloured rings paint the ball: coral on the lower right and yellow in the middle centre. The big bubbles are cyan on the middle left, coral on the middle right and yellow in the lower centre, all with one shell. They leave a magnet, an extra pop bumper and a rescue post.
The Mother Bubble blows in a single flower-shaped cluster of small bubbles hanging from a gold-ring anchor, with a clock bubble (+5 s) tucked inside it.
The objective
CLEAN SWEEP: pop every big bubble and the whole flower of small bubbles before the clock runs out. A ball only pops its own colour; others bounce it. Pick colours in the top lanes (the flippers rotate them), swap with both flippers, roll through a ring or climb LIFT, which paints the ball with a colour you can use and arms it. Pop the anchor to drop the flower.
Strategy, step by step
- With no cyan ring, set a cyan top lane with the flippers before the ball comes up, or press both flippers to swap into cyan on the way down to the middle left bubble.
- A LIFT climb paints the ball with a colour that can pop something right now and arms it as a super ball, which bursts the next bubble of that colour whole. Use it when a shot needs certainty.
- Cyan Steam's yellow bubble in the lower centre needs no aiming: dribble the ball down from the middle centre ring and a soft flick finishes it, planting a rescue post.
- Look for the flower's gold-ring anchor and hit it with its colour; the petals fall together and the clock bubble inside pays out as they go.
- Balls that bounce off the right-hand drop-target bank tend to roll into the coral ring below, which sets up the coral bubble on the middle right.
How to get 3 stars
QUICK: finish with at least a quarter of the clock remaining. NO BALL LOST: no drains at all (each one would cost 5 seconds). WHOLE CLUSTER: drop the flower by popping its gold-ring anchor. Passing with fewer stars still unlocks the next table.
Common mistakes
- Waiting for a cyan ring that does not exist. Cyan comes from a top lane, the two-flipper swap or LIFT.
- Climbing LIFT with a ball that already carries the right colour for the next shot; it only wastes clock you could spend popping.
- Pecking at the petals of the flower instead of its anchor, which drops the whole cluster at once.
