Stellar Crown · Bubble Pinball

Stellar Crown: new pieces, bosses and tips

What it introduces: a full-width ring ramp, low-gravity zones, planets that orbit on brass arms, comet rails, a black hole with an escape slot and five-ball multiball. Table 89 mixes a mirrored table with regrowing roots, table 90 answers a chain reaction with a five-ball multiball, and the multi-phase tables 97 and 99 chain three boards in a single game, the last one with a chain reaction.

Star Guardian (table 95) hides its core behind orbiting shield planets, then sends a comet shower you have to catch in flight, and ends in zero gravity, where the ball floats. The Primordial Bubble (table 100) is the final exam: five phases, one for each zone, from the workshop and the sea to the crystal (in the dark), the storm (with a dropping ceiling) and the crown, where a five-ball multiball breaks the core.

Asteroid Belt (table 83), marked red on the map, looks simple with three bubbles, but the clock is one of the shortest of the whole campaign and one bubble wears a double shell. Pop the single-shell bubbles first to win back time, then give the last one two clean hits in a row.
