- TIPS AND TRICKS -
When you start a game, hold the left flipper button. The first Basement Award will now be Digital Pinball where player 1 plays for 40M, all other players play for Extra Ball.
Holding the right flipper button at the start of a game will activate MK3 Symbols. Spell THEATRE to reveal the symbols.
Shoot the Trunk 3 times in Hat Magic mode to make a telephone appear on the screen. 'Move your car' is heard from it.
