Quoted from FirebrandX:And by the way, it doesn't matter if Keith agrees with you because you'd both be wrong. The timer resets the 4 seconds every time you trip the loop. So as long as you don't miss the backhand, you can keep it going for as long as you can handle it. Again, that's the whole point of the mode. It's simple, elegant, and makes perfect sense.
So you are saying that a mode that ...
* is playable only on machines where a backhanded ramp shot is possible
* consists only of hitting the same shot over and over again
* is giving out DMD animations totally unrelated to the points given out of the shots
* doesn't give out any info what could possibly happen if you hit the shot once (or 10 times) more
* is possible to keep going forever
... isn't even a little ridiculous?
When I first saw this topic, I though this mode was the perfect answer for the question and was delighted to see tamoore already mentioning it.
So far no other mode in any game than Wabac has forced me to take off the playfield glass and test the mode manually to see what is the purpose and possible goal of the mode. Testing this only gave me more evidence that this is indeed one of the most ridiculous modes in pinball history.
