Shadow! Final battle is the complete package. Light show. Intro. What you have to accomplish and the ending when you do it amazing. By far the best for me.

"Power Down" is my all time favorite wizard mode so far.
Final Frontier is always fun but a lot easier to get to.
Quoted from OldSchoolBlood:I would say MM Battle for the Kingdom has to be #1 for me. AFM Rule the Universe, The Shadow Final Battle and Indiana Jones Eternal Life are all top 5. Difficult to get to, and not easy to complete. WW, Wet Willies is tons of fun too ending in the awesome vacation jackpot finale.
+1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LITZ - I just wish it wasn't timed. Trying to hit powerfield shots during LITZ is some insane sh1@t. Just always ends too quick.

Join the Cirqus is amazing. Everything needed to get there, all the various stages, there's really a lot of tension. The "reward" stage, Party Multiball, alone is the equivalent of what a "wizard mode" gets you in many other (mainly early 90's) games.
Quoted from Sumez:Join the Cirqus is amazing.
I agree, the second stage of the four (Unmask Voltaire) is the hardest for me to complete. Probably only get pass it 50% of the time.

Quoted from CDogster:I am surprised I am the first to say that TSPP takes the cake.
I did mention it on the original post

You may be the only pinsider to ever reach it. LOL. Never been there, myself, but I hope I get to one day.

Are you referring to "best" as most difficult? That list seems to fulfill that.
However, if you can put aside difficulty and focus on how satisfying the result is, I think the Bride of Pinbot transformation is one of the most spectacular and theatrical events in pinball. The transformation is not even the finale, so it doesn't count as the wizard mode. But it feels like it.
Maybe you have to be a fan of the movie When Harry Met Sally, though.

Doesn't have to be challenging....could just be fun to play...but most of the time the challenge is half the fun

You're not referring to "Assault the Vault", accessed with the Magic Token -- or are you ?
I've made it to "In the Zone" three times, "Alien Invasion" (SPP) twice, battle the genie in TOTAN several times, and "Destroy the Ring" (LOTR) ditto. On the last two, I've only come to within one shot of completion for TOTAN (very frustrating), and can't recall if I ever actually destroyed the Ring in LOTR. Even if I did, it was a very anticlimactic disappointment, as this is only worth a measly 4 Mil. points !
All the other Wiz modes mentioned: Nope, never got to see 'em -- so far. Guess my limited skills have just not been up to the task.

I dunno if it's the "best ever", but Black Hole's is underrated ... managing 3 balls as they pass between the upper and lower (inverted) playfield is unique and awesome. the human brain can't quite track the trajectory of balls when they are falling across opposite gravitational planes simultaneously.
STTNG's Final Frontier is pretty awesome. Monster Bash, TOTAN, and AFM are pretty sweet as well.

Lost in the Zone... TZ is AWESOME!
Any of the Simpsons Wizard modes. And no, I have never gotten the super-dooper wiz mode on that table.
The Shadow, The final Battle. The game gives you the most AWESOME quote in pinball if you finish it at the end of your game.
Power down mode in JM... I'm not a big fan of this game's ruleset , but the wiz mode, it is pretty sweet.
AFM, RTU. That is a worthy wiz mode for sure.
TAF, Tour the Mansion is great!
LotR, if you ever see them... There and back again, and the mythical Valinor.
I will always remember the first time I completed the cellar on Whirlwind. Your first kiss is the one that makes the biggest impression on you.
Now, back to play some more pin!

Quoted from Heretic_9:"Alien Invasion" (SPP)
Hey,
Don't mean to offend, but there are a ton more wizard modes (Scratchy's Revenge, Daredevil Mania, Mystery Spot, Secret Stash) in the game, and one above and beyond that of you can complete all those.
