    Love all of the guides, but I think I found a slight omission.

    I've loved all of these table guides, and have them (and ShoryukenToTheChin) to thank for allowing me to collect many XBox achievements.

    However, while attempting to obtain the Adamantium Skeleton achievement on the Wolverine table, I noticed that this information is absent from the guide.

    I collected this data from the trueachievements.com site, posted by user Pvt Keogh: http://www.trueachievements.com/view...tid=281940#vch
    Perhaps this could be used as a starting point for when there is an update.
    There are 2 ways to activate the Adamantium bonding sequence. The 1st is to recover the memory by hitting the Sink hole to the bottom right of the Sabretooth Claw spinner 3 times and then landing the ball in the spinner and being lucky enough to land on the Adamantium game. Not something I would put much faith in.

    The 2nd is the best way to try and can be done right from the start. You simply need to hit the left ramp 4 times to light up the word BOND. The catch is that if the ramp is lit for a Combo then it won't progress the BOND letters. Simply take your time and rest the ball on the right flipper, make sure that combo isn't flashing over the left ramp which brings you in through the Weapon X tank. Once you have lit BOND you need to put the ball in the left sink hole where it spells out SNIKT and the mode will begin. I don't think there is any time limit on hitting the sink hole so take it slow.

    This is where it gets a bit tougher. This is a 2 ball multiball mode and you need to first get one ball into a sink hole. When you do this the table will start to glow green and it's not immediately obvious what you need to do. You have about 6 - 8 seconds while the table glows green in which to get the 2nd ball into the other sink hole. Once you managed to do that one of the balls will become an Adamantium ball and will be glowing white. Simply put this ball through the left ramp (Weapon X tank) and the achievement is yours.

    ***EDIT*** As it's been mentioned in the comments a couple of times I'll clarify. You need to put the Adamantium ball (glowing white) through the left ramp but you must keep the 2nd ball active. Draining either ball will end the mode and you'll need to start the process again.

    It's a pretty difficult achievement to get so I'd recommend taking your time and learning how to hit the sink holes consistently. The sink holes are the key to big points on this table and play a big part in the Sabretooth fight and can get you huge points on the Sentinel mode as well as being needed for the Samurai multiball.

    Take the time to learn how to light up the SNIKT from the left sink hole as lighting that activates the claw save which can be invaluable to keeping your game going especially as this can be a fairly unforgiving table.

    Again, thank you for the great guides,

        I only want to thank ShoryukenToTheChin for his guides, without which I would never be able to really enjoy the tables. I was so frustrated at not being able to understand all the rules, your guides were decisive in my decision to complete the entire collection of tables. Thank you again.

          Oh gosh thanks so much for the kind words my dear friend, so glad my Guides helped you enjoy Pinball so much more. Also don't worry I'm currently working on the Star Wars Pinball: Battle of the Force Table Guides as we speak.

            I had no doubt about it, I'm sure you'll do a great job as usual.

              Thanks mate, although I think it will be a bit longer as I picked up a Bad Flu so not really been up to writing it up while I got this

              But they are coming.

                  Mr. Chin , your guides will be very helpful, but a question. The table guides at http://www.marvelpinball.com/ are usually no more than 10 or so pages, easily printable. But the ones linked to on the first post in this thread are much more. Do you have shorter versions of the other guides? I'd like to not print out hundreds of pages Thank you.

                    Thanks for the kind words mate, sadly I don't have shortened versions of my Guides. You could always print off the stuff you need, wish I could be of more help.

                      Think I'll do that; I really only need the mission stuff. Thank YOU

                      EDIT: Wow dude, how long does it take you to make a guide? Awesomely detailed!

                        Depends really on the Table, sometimes a Month - with playing the Table then writing up notes etc. Although I got to admit I enjoy doing it.

                              Say, how would you rank the following five easiest to hardest in terms of completing the missions (including Wizard Mode)? (These are the 5 with the smallest guides):
                              Cap. America
                              Thor
                              Moon Knight
                              Mars
                              Ms. 'Splosion Man

                                Ms. 'Splosion Man
                                Ms. Splosion Man is by far the easiest of this bunch. The rest are all actually quite tough but I would say in order from easiest to hardest - Cap. America, Moon Knight, Mars and Thor. If it wasn't for the pyramid mission on Mars it would have been easier.
