I’ll admit that AcDc rules are not my strong suite. For example perm and temp progress units I’m still not sure about. But heck all this time I’ve played and never been aware of the super modes. I’ve played AcDc hundreds of time and had super modes running a lot but I never really understood how to start them. I’m going to have to read up on the rules to figure out what’s going on. Temp/perm units, super modes etc..

Full disclosure, I’m not a heavy volume player meaning I can go weeks or months without playing a particular game. Obviously the simple games (aka AFM, IM, Tron) I’m 99% understand the rules. But somethings about Acdc is just over my head.

The rules are very complicated for example the super modes will blink when they are able to be activated and strobe when they are active. I’m not even sure what the difference is between blinking and strobing.

For example say you are playing T.N.T. the goal of that is to hit the T.N.T. targets which will allow a super mode to be started then you need to hit three note shots to activate the super. If you hit a lightning target you can change which super mode is blinking.

The active super shot will stay until you drain and if you change a song you can activate another super mode.

It’s the most complex game I can think of. Maybe the newer games like GoT or SW are more complex idk.

But the basic songs each have a task. Like T.N.T. is the T.N.T. targets, You shook me is the pop bumpers, RnR Train is the left ramp and so on. But while in a dong the doing song tasks you also need to complete 8 other tasks to progress and change to a different song. Those various tasks are the other song tasks.

Hit the bell 3,6 times will 2x 3x the Playfield.

There’s s bunch more too you can stack all the multiballs together but can’t stack the songs.

I'm not a tourney player but there are some safer and/or more lucrative songs.

The multi balls are are qualified by hitting the ramps 6 times (Jam MB), orbits 8 times (Tour MB) and the target banks all three (Album MB).

according to the rules you are correct.

.Album Multiball is a 3-ball round. The first Album Multiball is qualified by completing 3 target banks (you do not have to do 1 of each, you can do 3 T-N-Ts if you want).

best to read the rules because I am not the best understand of the rules myself and there is a lot of nuance.

for example each shot (in the song for example TNT shots for TNT song) will add 2% to the value of the next shot cumulatively (until you drain or change the song) if you hit 5 lit 'note shots' it'll add a permanent 6% that will be added to every shot for the entire game.

You don't really need to know or understand this except to know that the more shots you make the subsequent shots are worth progressively more. And reset to base points after you drain (except for the permanent units which carry over).

Say you are playing TNT that is the TNT targets and that song in the jukebox is flashing and if you hit a lit shot such as Left ramp that will count as Rock and Roll Train and will light that on the Jukebox, Left Orbit will could as War Machine and light that on the jukebox and so on. Once you get at least 8 not counting the song you are playing you will be able to change the song (left orbit to lock in Juke box hole).

You get all the points are added to your score but they are also added to a song jackpot that is collected from the cannon shot when lit. It will reset if you collect so some might not collect if it's small and wait for it to get larger or if you can double or tripple the Pf value (by hitting the bell a number of times) before collecting. If you drain before you collect tho the jackpot resets.

I’ve had AcDc for around 6 years never noticed the super modes. Now I want to check out the super lanes which can double the next shot or the bonus awards.

LoL

I’ve been looking more at scoring of some games like STLE which adds 45k or some higher number to each subsequent shot in a mode as well as double score on combo shots.

Now I look at the dmd to see the shot value more often. I’m getting fun out of the game than before when I didn’t understand what scored what.

TWD is another game I need to study the rules on, I know there is an X on the lane that will multiply the next shot when it’s lit. This is something like the super lane in AcDc.

That’ll be the day. I’m still getting the hang of the super modes and trying to do them upsets the normal game flow because I’m distracted. Hopefully they’ll become second nature.

I did notice the cannon inserts can be lit but I’m not sure how or what they signify.
