Guess what's coming to X-Files?
Skill Shot!
Every ball you are offered a Skill Shot. If you are successful, you get the points and will be offered the next level Skill Shot on your next ball (including extra balls). If you miss, you are awarded no points and will be offered the same level Skill Shot on your next ball.
Skill Shot 1: Left Orbit - 250,000
Skill Shot 2: Left Ramp - 500,000
Skill Shot 3: Left Mini Loop - 1,000,000
Example...
Ball 1, you miss Skill Shot 1 (Left Orbit).
Ball 2, you make Skill Shot 1 (Left Orbit) and are awarded 250,000 points.
Ball 3, you miss Skill Shot 2 (Left Ramp) but during that ball you get an Extra Ball.
Ball 3 (extra ball), you make Skill Shot 2 (Left Ramp) and are awarded 500,000 points.
Another example...
Ball 1, you make Skill Shot 1 (Left Orbit) and are awarded 250,000 points.
Ball 2, you make Skill Shot 2 (Left Ramp) and are awarded 500,000 points.
Ball 3, you make Skill Shot 3 (Left Mini Loop) and are awarded 1,000,000 points, and during that ball you get an Extra Ball.
Ball 3 (extra ball), you make Skill Shot 3 (Left Mini Loop) and are awarded 1,000,000 points, you are hot tonight!
While the ball is in the Shooter Lane, the display will show the current Skill Shot and its value (alternating with showing the usual current player number/score screen, and the Push Button To Launch Ball screen). Also, the associated playfield arrow lamp will be flashing. If you make the Skill Shot, the display will show you made the shot and the value (with success sound effect). If you miss, the display will show you missed (with fail sound effect).
If your game is set to more than 3 balls, the Skill Shot is still capped at 1,000,000.
