Yes Stern please send my pro ASAP...or else I might just do something I might regret like buy more useless TMNT stuff

Nope we had a mix up with the distributor.

I think the pizza eating contest is cool(like SW tie fighters) but it seems a bit too easy as it is. Maybe in the future it can be reworked so it’s on a timer with the ability to eat as much as you can button smash and your points go up as your pizza slices go down instead of topping out at 40....and maybe add a pizza eating campion on the leaderboard. I’m waiting as patiently as possible to get my game so excuse my long thoughts. One last thing great work “Xaqery” “JB” and all who put this Mondo pin together

I want my pro

Looks good... I grabbed a Krang also and I’m glad I did. I’m thinking of adding a led inside but not sure it’s going to fit. I’m not sure where/what to connect it to.

Just got my pro today...build date of July 30th. The playfield is a bit grainy if you stick your face to the glass but I wouldn’t recommend playing that way . I took a picture of a Stranger Things pro just to help with comparison.

Man I got to level 4 on training and it feels like I just completed a mini wizard mode. I think a EB and/or a multiball would be a great reward for this. It would feel good and would offer a different path to a high score. The EB’s feel weird on the code, sometimes they pop up like no big deal and other times they just don’t come .

Donnie will get to the bottom of this....Hang in there.

Just finished installing my first mod...Krang has landed! Now when a Krang hurry up is running I’ll know to focus on his loops.

Had a fun game on my TMNT pro tonight. I used Raphael and played a 3 ball one player game with extra balls on. My game has super bands on the flippers. I made it to the final battle(finished it)and have to say that it was pretty intense and a really fun mode. I didn’t get to see Cowabunga but I got the feeling that I’ll see it soon. The only objectives I was missing was the max-Krang & triple-super....I guess next pin session.

I’m at 6.9/7 up top and 6.8 at the bottom next to the flippers. When I started “final battle” I noticed that I actually finished 7 of the 8 episodes so that probably helped.

What pitch is your game set at? Looks like it might be sitting in the switch cutout a split second too long. Try a bit more angle on your playfield or a piece of Mylar over the switch so the ball doesn’t hesitate when the post goes down.

Krang has call outs on the pro. When I was first flopping around pro/premium the Krang toy was the main thing I wanted so I just made one and now I’m totally happy with my choice.

I actually bought this from EBay and installed a light and hooked it up to the Krang arrow insert. I can now see when the combo is running as the light blinks when a Krang combo is running. I used 2 black zip ties to blend in with Krang....thanks man hope you get yours in soon because it looks good and actually helps.

A few more pics.

Titans are one of the easiest to install...now if you’re putting on Super Bands get ready for a little bit of resistance.

That’s what I put on my TNNT and they seem to be working great on this pin. Whenever I put on Super Bands I try to stretch them as much as possible before installing them and it seems to help.

Yes after you play the team up mode you can play ninja pizza multiball And turtle power multiball again after they are qualified.

Finally got a few pictures of Krang without the glass...and had a decent game yesterday.

This pin definitely tests your reactions because of how fast it is. I think a good way to attack this pin is to find the left ramp, right ramp and pizza parlor shot and once you’re comfortable with those shots the game will open up. If you can finish modes it usually leads to getting decent scores especially if you get to Team Up and Final Battle.

Training is a pretty important factor if you’re looking for a higher score.

Was the shaker motor tweaked on the last update for pizza party multiball? I’m going to test the new code out sometime today and I’m going to shoot for the newly added multiball...can’t wait.

If you can level up your turtle to the max(30% extra on all scores)and make it to the final battle your score will be close or over 100 million but that’s a lot of shots and work. I find it helps to always go for the extra ball(starting modes) and don’t forget to go for the pizza eating contest. The first one really isn’t that many points but if you manage to get to the second and third they really start to payoff. I really don’t focus on multiball for scoring but to use them as a safety net to get through modes. If you do make it to the final battle don’t forget to start 2x scoring before you start it because it gives you a good bonus, and double bonus is always better.

I’m sure ST is helping with the muscle memory on the lair shit. Once you get used to dropping the upper flipper to help guide the ball inside the lair...it becomes pretty consistent. Congrats on your your new pin.

Don’t pay too much attention to your score right now because you’re still learning the rules. I would spend a few days on just trying to get familiar with all the shots. Once you get familiar with the shots your score will start to reflect that. The other thing that comes with getting familiar with the shots is the game becomes more fun and you get to enjoy more of the code. Don’t be afraid to shoot at all the hard shots multiple times until they become comfortable. You can also just pick your weakest shot and do that shot over and over a few games, I know it sounds a bit boring but it will payoff in the long run.

Looks like a good start. Love that picture of Mr. Sandman...is that a tin or poster?

That’s how I leveled my tmnt. You can also run something flat(like a metal ruler)from the bottom side of the disk(as if a ball was rolling over it) and see if it catches a edge, if it catches a edge then try to level it again.

After you play “Team up” multiball you can start “pizza” and “Turtle power” multiball again...you just have to re-qualify them.

Beat me to it.

I would try taking off the lockdown bar and use a pencil and push the switch(under the button)and if it works then you just need to adjust(bend)the leaf switch so it makes contact with the lockdown button.

I’m at 7.0 by the pizza parlor.

It seems like the key to a great score is getting to the final battle. If and when you get to it don’t forget to light your 2x scoring before you start final battle(left ramp)because you get a good chunk of points for all your modes you played. I like using Raphael and Leo depending on if I’m feeling lucky and want to utilize Leo’s training perk or Ralph’s made start perk. The other thing to keep in mind is extra balls. If you know how to get extra balls you can use them as stepping stones on the way to final battle. This pin is a fun smooth shooter that will punish you if you slip up...love it!

I need to explore the multiball mode stack strat more but it seems like multiball is a lot of work for not a lot of points. When my score is above 100 million it’s after I have made it to final battle. It also helps to finish all the modes because they give you perks in all the mini wizard modes and it really helps you progress through the wizard modes.

I’ll definitely give this a try sounds fun. I’ll probably try to add Raphael’s training level 3 perk extra playfield x and try to get the ice cream topping so mondo is lit at the start.

My perfect pizza topping stack would be...ice cream, peppers, octopus, marshmallows, gummy bears. I haven’t played tmnt in a while but now I really want to see if I can build a pizza that can turn into a big payoff.

Good job on the flipper toppers

Who did you use? Nice job

Just finished a pretty fun game(3 ball,single turtle)and ended up with a decent score. I played with Raphael and focused on training until I got to level 3. I wanted my playfield multiplier to be 3x with Ralph’s perk. I made it to the final battle and had 3x running before I started it so I cashed in on a 50 million bonus. I also kept my 3x running during final battle. Man once you get the speed down on this game it really starts to open up. Now I need to try a different turtle with a different strategy, and that’s another plus for this pin.

What’s your go to turtle? I need to explore
the other turtles and see if I can get a decent strategy to catch Raph’s GC.

Hold the left flipper in when you plunge and the post will go down and allow the ball to pass to the left side of the playfield.

Might be a loose optic sensor or possibly miss alignment of the boards for the pizza parlor...that’s the first thing I would check. You can also double check the optic sensor connections under the playfield could also be the problem.

Sorry man I haven’t had your issue on my pin so I really don’t have advice on how to take anything apart in that area...but on a side note I did use a pencil on my Elvira HOH to check the optics(and it was in a similar area)without taking anything apart.

Congrats! welcome to the pizza party

Love it when this ^^ happens....your TMNT looks beautiful!

Finally made it to COWABUNGA! Today on a one player game. Man this pin is just a blast to play once you get in the groove. The Cawabunga! Wizard mode was pretty cool to play and it was worth a lot of points. I earned 3 extra balls throughout this game so I had plenty of chances to get everything done. This was on factory settings and around 7.0 degrees on a pro.

After owning this pin for a year now and putting in lots of games I would like to see a few tweaks to the code to make this pin even better, and I also have a few code dreams. One big change could be that the turtle perks and/or scoring opportunities should be balanced in the next polish update. As of now Raphael is definitely the most powerful turtle to score with(+1x playfield multiplier and 3x mode multiplier) and its really not that close compared to the other 3 turtles. I think maybe all the turtles should get a playfield multiplier at training level 3 if completed, and a mode multiplier at training level 4 if completed to balance out the turtle perks. All the other turtle perks seem to be close and fairly balanced. It seems like if all the turtles would have these perks then one could choose any of the 4 and feel like you have a chance to get a GC score. I think the modes are great and love how they add perks to your wizard modes…if you complete them. Pizza parlor multiball is a good way to try and get a chunk of points if you stack your toppings right to max out your scoring opportunities. One thought I had would be to add a ‘weapon shot’ to the action button. Every time I time I collect a successful “weapon hurry up” I think how cool it would be to get a weapon added to your turtle to use during Episode battles. You would use this ‘weapon shot’ during a mode that you can give you a free mode shot. This might make the weapon hurry up feel much more worthy of the risk to go for it and add to the fun factor. This pin has lots of qualities that can make it one of the best and really is only a few code tweaks away from being one of the great ones…IMHO.

Try finishing as many modes as possible because they really add up to a nice cash out if you make it to “Final Battle”. Don’t forget to train Raphael to 3x on your way to Final Battle so you can take advantage of a rewarding 3x cash out…when and if you reach Final Battle. Raphael is definitely the most powerful turtle to use if you’re seeking a GC score. I hope/wish that we will have a update to help even out all the turtles and to get our wizard mode(Final Battle)working properly.

It’s definitely not easy but feels awesome when you get there! If you have got to the point where you only needed one more objective to complete then you should be able to get to it soon…good luck man!

Good job man!

Looks like your pizza target is off to the right and not centered…maybe it’s letting the ball hit that corner of the metal guide. I would start by centering that stand up target.

They come from the factory pretty loose so all you need to do is push it to the side with your hand/finger. If you want to stop it from moving again you would want to look under the playfield and tighten it up(2 screws)and that usually takes care of it. And make sure to tighten the screws that sandwich the target/switch and not the screws that go into the playfield/wood that hold the bracket. You can use a small wrench or a 1/4” ratchet with a socket and I believe it might be 1/4” size screws.
