Regarding Minor Villans modes from different seasons. Are there differences with the way they play? Are the rewards different? Or, are they just there to give multiple chances to finish a villain?

Thanks! Didn't know that. Just digging into this game for the first time. Still getting used to how the modes work. I've been reading various sources to get the rules. But there doesn't seem to be a very complete and up to date write up on it. I can't always tell what's happening with the minor villians when they're stacked with another mode. But that should come with more play. I would be nice to have a progress indicator of some sort on the screen. Guardians is nice that way.

Really, really great theme integration on this game. So cool!

I got the Bat Cave hurry up and was awarded 2x on Catwoman. I drained before hitting the super jackpot. On the next ball I hit the jackpot and got the cliffhanger screen. The left choice to take the jackpot did not say it was 2x jackpot. Does the hurry up apply to the sjp? Or was it because I drained? I thought the 2x hurry up award persisted for the whole game, not just the ball you get it on?

Thanks!

I've watched a few game play videos and it seems like people can backhand the sjp scoop from a dead stop cradle position on the right flipper. Mine doesn't seem to do that. I have not adjusted my flippers at all. They have a slight droop from the factory. Maybe that's the difference?

New here. What’s the issue with the target? I’ve noticed that I don’t always get credit for the bat phone hurry up shot. Is that the issue? I just thought I missed the target.

Thanks for the new rules write up! Very handy.

Anyone know how much of the music in this game is from the TV show, how much was created for the pinball? Digging the soundtrack. This game has one of the best audio/video packages.

The adjustment is there. I used it. It’s near the end of the game features adjustments menu.

It would be nice if your ball number was displayed on the minor villain select screen. I choose differently depending on ball number.

The music on the alternative major villian modes seems relatively quiet. It also changes to the main theme music at some point when you continue rather than cash out. That seems like a bug.

I think the music changing is intentional and not a bug. It's probably an audio cue as to your progress on that villain mode. Nice touch.

When thinking about scoring strategies. Keep in mind that these are played in tournaments. And, more relevant to me personally, they are played as friendly 4 player games. I could be wrong. But, I don't see many people going for that super big points strategy in these settings. Even when playing a single player game I don't always go for that. I think it's great that you can bypass a lot of stuff and go for the wizard modes. Or, take the time (and risk) of going the long way for a higher score. There's a lot of way to play this game. I guess I'm thinking it's pretty awesome as is and would be wary of too many changes.

Just my 2 cents.

So got a new GC today. It was the first time I was successful at executing the Bookworm > Freeze strategy. It's not a great score I know, but my best so far on this latest code.

I did notice something a bit odd. I was working on Bookworm and started a Bat-phone hurry up. The small TV screen on the turn table was facing me, it had a picture of the phone on it. But when I hit it, it did not collect the hurry up and start the major villain (Riddler I believe). I finished Bookworm and the turntable never rotated to present the phone to me. Since the small TV was showing the phone, I thought hitting that would collect it. But it did not. Just throwing that out there. I'm not super clear on everything that was running and the order of events. But I think that's the gist of it.

Yes. Shots to/through the batcave don't always register for me. I find that hitting a little to the right rather than center helps. I haven't looked into fixing this yet. It seems to be an issue that for at least a few people. If anyone comes up with something. Please post about it.

The Tut multiplier will continue from where you left off plus add one more if you complete another Tut on a new ball. Without Bookworm. ie, you had 2x on ball on ball 1. Drain. Multiplier goes to zero. Complete another Tut and you get 3x. I’ve gotten a decent score that way.
