Your guide sucks dude.

Holy cow, Diabl0blank0! Good to see you on the Zen boards and not just topping me on my fiends errrr friends list I had to take a break from Ironman after writing this guide, I am sure i will get back to it but I am enjoying some other tables at the moment. The Achievement can wait

Good guide, i have been playing this table a lot more the last few days (while waiting for the new tables) got up around 60 mil now but still have not got to ultimo once yet guess i will just keep on trying

Thanks for the nicely written guide.

I have a tip that can apply to a number of different tables (e.g. Pasha), but I think it is most important for this one. Manage your kickbacks efficiently.

Side drains are not uncommon on this table, so always keep kickback lit. When your kickbacks are already lit, put effort into keeping 2 and only 2 lanes lit on each side at all times. That way, when you use a kickback, you only need 1 or 2 easy shots to the left ramp to renew your kickback, depending on which way it is diverting.

Hope that helps.

Definitely something that should be done on all tables but Ironman especially seems to attract those balls to dem outlanes

So, I've been trying to complete the full 5-way combo on Iron Man last night, but just can't seem to get it right. Any of you wizards know if there's a hidden reward for keeping the combo going through the 5 ramps/orbits?

According to my stat sheet I have done over 20 Mach V combos during my playtime on Iron Man. I haven't noticed anything really special about completing. I don't play with "Arcade FX" so I don't have a clue on how many points these combos award. (I get distracted by the white ball trail)

Added a link to Cloda's Wizard Mode Guide.

Added the Achievements to the Table Guide, in case they were not self explanatory.

thanks, they were not self explanatory to me! seems like a lot of work for the easiest achievement, let alone the others... maybe I will get one eventually

Gave this table another go and reached Ultimo 2 times this evening. Unfortunately I totally suck at multiballs. Anyway, I'll get lucky eventually, it's only a matter of time.

Seems like Mars will be the last table to complete and I'm not sure if I'll ever make it through. The table's so boring for me, I'd have to force myself to play it and the pyramid mission is a nice mixture of multiball, lottery and a pretty hard lock at the end. Beating this single mission seems impossible, let alone doing it in a game where you don't mess up the rest.

Yeah, it is luck based, alright. Checking my stats, i tried it 302 times and passed it 4 . Not that i'm the best player in the world, of course, but it stands on a different level among all others mission in the table...and maybe in the entire game. Still, i love Mars... Speaking about iron man, i've reached Ultimo 6 times and failed...but now i can reach him every time (well, almost) so i know it's just a matter of time before i beat him.

End of Ball Bonus guide

Honor bonus
10,000 points per ball
Default bonus

Iron Man Mission
10,000 points per successful Iron Man mission (Whiplash/Mandarin) per ball

Tony Stark Mission
50,000 points completion of ramp objective (Stark Tower, Party, Science, Stock Market) per ball
It appears that you get the bonus again if you complete the objective again before the Wizard mode

SHIELD bonus
50,000 points activation of a SHIELD mini-game (multiball or tower) per ball

Unibeam bonus
50,000 points per lighting of all 7 UNIBEAM letters on both sides of the table.

Summary - pretty low scoring, like the rest of the table. Main reason to try to raise the multiplier is that it's the only way to get an extra ball on the table.
