"Modes" are part of the equation, especially with post-1990 pins. Part of it is presentation, like TZ's Lost in the Zone. Or it's something like CV's finale which really does feel a bit like a video game "boss battle." But to anyone who played pinball before "wizard modes" as it were, they understand nobody "beats" a pinball game. Until you can do that consistently, you have beaten nothing.

Play Paragon or Gorgar. Those games are their own wizard modes.
