How the table is laid out
A star of 5 pop bumpers fills the upper field: yellow, cyan, coral, yellow and cyan. The CASCADE ramp climbs the right side, there are no drop targets, and a permanent rescue post stands between the flippers.
Coloured rings: cyan on the lower left, coral on the lower right and yellow in the middle centre. The big bubbles, all single-shell, are yellow on the middle left, cyan on the middle right, and coral and yellow side by side in the lower centre.
A spiral blows in a star-shaped cluster of small bubbles hanging from a gold-ring anchor. It hides a clock bubble (+5 s) and a bomb bubble that pops everything around it.
The objective
CLEAN SWEEP: pop every big bubble and the whole star of small bubbles before the clock runs out. Only matching colours pop; the rest bounce. Top lanes (rotated by the flippers), the two-flipper swap, the rings and CASCADE all paint the ball. Pop the star's gold-ring anchor to drop it.
Strategy, step by step
- Brass Crown owns yellow: its middle centre ring paints the ball for both yellow targets, the one on the middle left and the one in the lower centre, so empty that colour before anything else.
- The coral and yellow bubbles share the lower centre. Check your colour before every flip there, and use the two-flipper swap to switch between them without leaving the flippers.
- The star cluster on Brass Crown carries both a clock and a bomb. Blast the bomb first for a crater beside the gold ring, pocket the clock's +5 s, then finish the drop.
- The bumper star spins the ball through many colours of bumpers but only rings, lanes, ramps and the swap paint it. Do not trust the bumper colour.
- Climb CASCADE when you need cyan for the middle right bubble and none of the lanes shows it.
How to get 3 stars
QUICK: finish with a quarter of the clock or more. NO BALL LOST: no drains, each of which would cost 5 seconds. WHOLE CLUSTER: pop the star cluster's gold-ring anchor. Each star is earned on its own.
Common mistakes
- Hitting the coral lower centre bubble with a yellow ball meant for its neighbour; the bounce often sends the ball straight down the middle.
- Leaving the clock bubble for last. By then the cluster may have fallen away without paying the +5 s.
- Reading the yellow bumpers as a paint source and firing a plain ball at a yellow bubble.
