Quoted from rai:I don't get that because I thought when you are in MB and lock a ball that just ends the MB and resets the drops?
When you lock a ball during multiball, it's normal that the drops don't reset like the first time the ball is locked because a couple of other things happen.
The otherwise inactive star rollover just in front of the saucer becomes activated so when you rollover the star, 50k will be rewarded & you get also the "help me" speech call out.
Multiball can be resumed by dropping the corresponding colour targets on the left bank - which quite often you may already have one or two down, so recommencing multiball can be easy.
One of the many quirky aspects this game has.
