Kickback, Multipliers, Ball Savers and Extra Balls

[heathenSauce]

Just a quick clarification, Agents does not award an extra ball for partnership multi-ball. If there is an extra ball on this table, I do not know how to activate it.

There's also an extra ball on "Blade" for having an "exceptionally" low score on your first 2 balls. And who here still dares to claim that pinball is unforgiving?

The only thing that's missing now is the relevant info for Speed Machine and Extreme. There are most likely multiple ways of earning these rewards on all the tables so please keep adding to this if you find a method that isn't already covered. This is quite close to being finished now. Good work guys!

Admins: Can this thread be stickied please or added to the strategy and guides section?

A bump in hopes someone will fill in the Mars info

I think blue just did a comprehensive table guide for Mars. Might be able to rip off some information from that.

A bump in hopes someone will fill in the Mars info

Kickbacks: 3 left roll overs next to the left flipper and the 3 right side ones for the other side.
Multiplier: The 3 lights above the bumpers.
Ball Saver: 5 targets, 2 on the left ramp, 2 on the right ramp and the final one is to the right of the mission hole and left of the sattelite hole.
Extra Balls: Get to 10x multiplier then hit the mini-orbit.

I've had the extra ball twice now from this method. Maybe you already had your maximum of 2 extra balls when you completed 'Expel the invaders'?

Getting more and more into Excalibur recently. Great table.

Edit: Another method I just discovered for an extra ball. The light lit after I had the Merlin multiball going for a while. I was too concerned with keeping the balls alive to notice how I did it, unfortunately.

I got an extra ball playing with Merlin (Hmmm, I think that is poor wording ), I think it came from a random award spelling DUB though, I think that might be how you came by yours.

Cool mate, you're probably right.

On another note, I just found another way to get an extra ball on Excalibur. Successfully complete "Expel the invaders" side mission and then defeat the knight. Collect extra ball from the quest hole.

From what i can tell, with Excalibur, the rewards for completing a quest/mission can vary. I know I have gotten an extra ball via this method also. I then did it another time and did not get it as a reward. HOWEVER, it might just be that I did this mission during a "shoot again" ball and could not get another extra ball. I need to video my damn games and do a guide to sort it all out.

Added. ;-)

Do you think I should start a new thread and title it: The (almost) complete guide to kicbacks, multipliers, ballsavers and extra balls? I could get one of the admins to delete this thread and hopefully make the new one a sticky. Again, cheers for all the help, everyone.

Whats wrong with this one? It has all (or most) of the info it says in the title. The only tables missing stuff are really the older ones that not as many people are interested in. If you want to make another one, thats cool, just saying there is nothing wrong with this one. Its a handy reference.

Yay! I get to contribute something to this compilation that no one else has mentioned! LOL

Excalibur: Completing the 3rd Level of the Joust (Expert) lights the mission hole for an extra ball. :-p Yes, I actually completed that sucker. Very gratifying experience.

Nightmare Mansion - another way to get an extra ball is to get 10x multiplier with the BAT lanes & then complete the BAT lanes 1 more time. In total, you would need to complete the bat lanes 6 times to get the extra ball this way.

Not to say this is wrong but, once again, last night I got an extra ball after my 1,250,000 Witches score and before 2,500,000 Witches Score. (so it was not an Extra Ball from that method). The Multiplier at X6 and I hit a bat lane during multiball.

Just a thought... It'd be nice if the original poster would take the input from the posters below, and update his original post so all information is contained at the top of the screen. Would eliminate the need to scroll down and have to search. Also, any way this thread can be stickied?

I have been doing that buddy. All except for the last couple of posts. If I have missed anything else, feel free to point it out. What can I say, I've been busy with work and pinball addiction ;-)

Updating the last couple of posts now.
