I've always figured those two modes were just for audience appeal. Also, hitting BOB to qualify them makes the left orbit shot easier.

The lottery mode's a _little_ better, but (even with my long arms) the "wave at the camera" thing seems hit-or-miss.

Fun (bug) fact: if you have System Settings/Game Restart set to "SLOW (Allow START button to restart game)", and restart during any of the "Crazy" modes, the mode stays ON until you drain a ball. The emojis or lottery ticket will freeze in (screen-covering) place; the selfies will "drip off" as usual soon during your restarted game.

Thanks for the tip. Turns out I was reaching out too far - a hand wave right in front of my body works much better.

Sadly, I can try that.

The disaster completions are also your multiplier for Armageddon.

Two different paths: collecting the SIM cards after completing the disasters builds toward Showdown, but simply completing them builds the multiplier for Armageddon.

For the SIM card shot, try a bank off the center of the vertical drone rubber from the left flipper.
