What are your favorite big moments in a game?
I rarely get all the way to a wizard mode but there are some big moments that I are just so very fun and adrenaline packed.
I’m talking for me like the Do or Die hurry up on Iron Man and the Hyper loop hurry up and Multiball on SW premium. This gets me excited every time.
I have yet to reach horde mode in TWD but that is probably one I’m looking forward to as well as destroying the Death Star (still have yet to do this).
Quoted from mrclean:When Sallah aka John Rhys-Davies screams out "Suuuuuuupppppperrrrrr JACKPOT!!!"
Lots of great jackpots out there that I love. Game of Thrones super jackpot is great every time. I have a huge soft spot for the Mousin Around jackpot too. Doing all the work to relock the balls and then hitting the ramp..."yeah baby! Jackpot!"...love it.
Don't intend to just list off wizard modes or mini wizard modes, but that is where a bunch of the great stuff happens.
Reaching Lost in the Zone in Twilight Zone is great.
Destroying the ring in LOTR.
In AFM both destroying mars and then again in Rule the Universe.
Ghostbusters we came we saw is pretty great.
Batman 66 I really like the mini wizard modes over the "main" villain escape wizard mode when it comes to light shows and audio/video packages.
Mechsuit multiball in Deadpool is fantastic from start to finish.
I forgot this one.
Iron Man when Monger rises up, Obi (Jeff Bridges) says “Where do you think you’re going?”
Funhouse Jackpot, Rudy just screaming is great!
Whitewater Vacation Jackpot, the game faking a crash followed by it going crazy is super fun. Whitewater 5X Jackpot also gets an honorable mention.
Completing just about any mode or multiball in LotR is also super exciting!

Biggest moment in pinball:
The moment that Steve Kordek saw Humpty Dumpty and said, "I ain't puttin' no six flippers on my game." Then he changed it to two and moved them down to the bottom of the playfield, where they've remained ever since.
Quoted from mrclean:When Sallah aka John Rhys-Davies screams out "Suuuuuuupppppperrrrrr JACKPOT!!!"
Yeah the Sallah call outs are awesome. The ultimate is "BILLION!!".
To me the best big moment is getting multiple balls racing around in the hyperspace loop ramp on Stern Star Wars. That is pure adrenaline.
Quoted from DaveH:“To War”. And if you’re not yelling it out with him, just quit pinball, because you don’t deserve to play.
I think that also goes for “Black Waterrrrr Multiball!!!”
Elvira Scared Stiff when you finish the wizard mode and the machine goes nuts.
Stacking all five Multiball Madness on Medieval Madness. "Multiballllllllllll Maaaaaaaadnessssssss!"
Defeating the Vengeance on Star Trek.
Boom button on Deadpool
Magna-Save on BKSOR
Starting Sparky on Metallica
Tilting on Rick and Morty
Wizard and mini wizard modes are beyond me. Although its not a particularly loved game by most, the start of DEs TMNT multiball is my favorite “big moment”.
Quoted from Flyfalcons:Elvira Scared Stiff when you finish the wizard mode and the machine goes nuts.
Ditto on this one, and I'd include the whole build up to it as you complete the ramps/crate ("Hair raising!" "Skin crawling!")
Some of my favorites:
• Destroying the Death Star - Stern SW
• Hand of the king - GOT
• Destroy the ring - LOTR
• Melt the witch - WOZ
• applause jackpot followed by Encore - GNR
• mech suit and Disco multiballs - DP
• visitor center - JP
• Cyborg MB (before the last update) - IMDN
• and of course, Horde
Showtime
Killing Smaug
LITS
Scared Stiff final mode (I forget the name)
Final Heist!
EHOH: Gappa Angry
* Melting the Witch on WoZ
* F-bomb frenzy on Sopranos
* Achieving/shooting 5,000 point (center) drop targets on Quick Draw/Fast Draw
* Too many to mention on The Big Lebowski
My personal pinball "big moment" has to be the first game on a new machine once I get it home and set up.
Setting off the siren on Quicksilver. Light all eleven letters on the same ball while you have 5x multiplier. Ball drains, 5x lights and games starts scoring your 5x bonus while the screeching sound gets a higher and higher pitch. Game suddenly stops scoring and the sound turns off. After maybe ten seconds, same process happens for 4x, silence, 3x countdown, silence, then 2x countdown. Really difficult to achieve and very satisfying.
Pop!Pop!Pop!
Spotting the whole tic tac toe board all orange or all white on Mystic = 3 free games and mega points.
Also the sound on the spinner lanes. Gotta love them spinner lanes!
Quoted from Chisox:Oh and Electric Magic frenzy on LZ is up there too. Hook up a sub and rip that spinner!
Great minds think alike 
Quoted from Chisox:Mech suit MB on DP and destroying the ring on LOTR are my two favorite things in pinball to date. Both make me feel like a 10 yr old again.
Mech suit is badass !! The soundtrack ,callouts ,sounds in DP are second to none .
