Thanks. I will figure it out. You gave me a great start.
Instant win strategy for Spidey assuming the spinner is juicy:
0. Start any multiball.
1. Bash light lock target over and over to build spinner value.
2. Get a 3X multiplier on the spinner from completing a mode.
3. If you're not still in a multiball, start any multiball.
4. Trap a ball on each flipper.
5. Use right flipper to nail the spinner over and over, catching the ball on the right flipper when it comes out of the pops.
6. ???
7. Game is over because you blew the left flipper transistor after cranking out 10M+ per spinner shot for half an hour.
If you're going to do this, stacking multiballs is not valuable. This is because you will not be aiming to get as many jackpots with as few shots as possible, which is generally the benefit of stacking multiballs. Instead, you'll just want to use the multiball balls as extra balls if you ever fumble. Consequently, you'll want to play out the multiballs separately. If you're really insane you can try to stack all of this with the 2X playfield multiplier you get from completing Super Hero, although that is generally not productive.

Funny but not funny especially if it has ever happened to anyone reading this.
I recall years ago playing Family Guy. I was in a multiball and knew I just finished my Fart SJP requirements. After the mb ended I knew Sperm Attack was ready so I was just playing very safe. One ball was cradled on the left flipper the other was in play for a while. The active ball drained and at the same time the left flipper died and the ball rolled into the drain. It was Ball 3 game over. A few choice words were spoken.
I did fix it and eventually got back to Sperm Attack another day.
I would change step 3 to step 0.

2500 points per lock stand-up hit. I'm not sure what the limit is, but it's more than enough for major damage.
Quoted from Mahoyvan:How much does hitting light lock increase the spinner value by? Is there a limit?
