not that I know of.

I don't think so. The Throwing Spikes awards you've achieved only stay active for the ball you achieve them with (as far as I know)

You will. And then you will drain your ball immediately.

THE CURSE OF SPINNER MILLIONS BE UPON YOU

Are you saying that your throwing spikes awards dont carry over from one ball to another and you have to start fresh each ball? Mine doesnt do that and I've never changed the settings. Im on version 1.2

ramp or right loop. before you get to spinner millions you want bonus hold from the glove and start the riot to put you in the bumpers from the spinner to get the bonus x all the way up. spinner millions is awarded as bonus and it can be huge. Think I got well over 30 Billion when I had mine.

I think you are talking about two different things. The progression of Throwing Spikes awards holds across balls, but the awards themselves don't (Spinner Millions).

No, westofrome has got it right. The behavior you're describing is not normal in my experience. I've only played 3 JM's but all would carry spikes progress from ball to ball. If you light spinner millions and drain you lose the ability to score spinner millions, but the spike award remains lit. The next ball would have the 2 ball multiball as the next spike award. What roms are you running?

That's not how mine works. What software version are you using?

If you can get the backhand to the left ramp down the spike awards become a little easier to achieve. On most JM machines the left ramp backhand is usually possible if not fairly easy from a cradle. Hit the left, feed the inlane switch, take the shot at the right loop or ramp. Those shots don't get easier, but triggering the spike switch becomes more probable once you get the backhand rhythm down. I suck at it, but that won't stop me from offering advice.

Yeah, Throwing Spikes will keep progressing through the last award (Light Extra Ball). If you make it all the way through it resets at the beginning of the next ball, I think.

The spinner millions will stay lit for current ball only. Once you drain, the spinner millions turns off.
You can relight it by completing the throwing spikes then draining current ball.
Once you drained the current ball you must start the 3-ball matrix multi-ball, then you can start relighting the throwing spikes.

So Yes, you must proceed all the way through, lose your ball, get a multi-ball then rinse n repeat

For reference, I actually achieved 3 different spinner millions in this 2 part vid:

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem.....

Now try combining it with Hold Bonus and max out your BonusX. "Doubled" will quickly be in your rear-view mirror.

Sure, or you could get Hold Bonus as an award in the Matrix.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's Yakuza Strike and not regular MB that lets you play through the Throwing Spikes again. I could be wrong though since the JM I used to crank out big scores on is no longer around so I haven't played the game in a while. You can actually double stack the hold bonuses by getting Hold Bonus from both the matrix and the fifth Throwing Spike award. They will stack, meaning that you can carry the first ball's bonus across three balls. I don't remember whether or not getting another Hold Bonus on the next ball will hold the first ball's bonus, but I don't think it will. Additionally, there is a bug in the game where your held bonus is actually awarded twice (first on the "Held Bonus" screen, then again on the "Total Bonus" screen) per ball. Combine all these things (4X bonus, double bonus hold, massive spinner millions) and it's not impossible to see scores well over 200 billion.

You're probably right on that. I just knew it didnt relight without starting something else first.
