    Flippers (4), Pop bumpers (3), Kick-targets (2), Kick-out holes (2), Drop holes (2), 8-bank drop targets (1), 4-bank drop targets (1), Captive ball (1), Rollunder spinner (1). Two-level playfield. Shooter lane under playfield. Completing all four green drop targets activates the upper right kick-out hole to lock the ball. Completing all eight red drop targets activates the lower left kick-out hole to lock the ball. Upper left corner of playfield has a gate-protected drop hole leading to the lower mini-playfield. Locking one or two balls on upper playfield opens this gate to the drop hole. A ball reaching lower playfield releases the upper playfield locked ball(s) for two-level multi-ball. A VUK returns ball from lower playfield to the drain lane behind left flipper. Above the right outlane is a drop hole which serves as a free ball hole. A ball falling into this hole causes a light show and is returned to the shooter lane.
