So is there a particular mode that you can play a million times and never get sick of? That mode that every time it starts it gets your adrenalin flowing or puts a big smile on your face?
I'll start - mine is Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls," one of the crank it up modes. I love the opening animation, the sound/shaker effect when you hit a shot, the ability to make combos. If I'm in the zone and I start this mode it's pure pinball joy.
What's yours?
Big f%@#ing Points on Sopranos
The look on friends faces are priceless the first time they hear it...
Scared Stiff. Completing the Stiff-O-Meter, game goes dark, all coils fire, game goes nuts and the start of Monster Multiball.
Fear of the Dark in Iron Maiden... it’s perfect. Hit a ramp or loop, playfield lights up and rip a spinner. Lights go red, rinse and repeat. Never gets old!
Tommy Scoring mode on Tommy. This is the mode with the blinders on, which is one of the coolest things in pinball (IMO).
Quoted from jp1985:Super Seance on TAF. It was pure genius to use the knocker in that way.
YES! My example of what made the 90's pins classics. While the spooky sounds are playing you're fighting the magnets to get the shots. Then when you make those ramps you get to feel it with the knockers.
Quoted from deibert:All the modes in LOTR are fun to play. Hard to get bored of that variety!
Nice. I was thinking DTR but separate modes like Shelob, Ents and Wargs are such fun and so many in one game.
Quoted from PinballTilt:Move your car!
Classic funny fun.
For White Water lovers - Bigfoot Hotfoot and Welcome to Wet Willie's.
TZ has some great stuff also, like getting the powerball back into the gumball machine.
It’s not a mode, but when you collect special on Quicksilver.
Get the bonus multiplier to 5x.
Light all the letters of the word Quicksilver if you haven’t already. Knock down the drops on the right drop target bank again. Shoot the ball through the right spinner to collect special.
The game will rack up the 70,000 points for the special, and the high pitched sound slowly increases. When it’s awarded the points it stops scoring and the sound stops (clearing the small rom memory cache?). Then it repeats awarding the 5x by a onus points, the screeching sound slowly getting louder until it feels like it’s going to explode. Stop the scoring and sound. Rinse and repeat for 4x, 3x and 2x.
“Horseshoe” mode on Quick Draw/Fast Draw. How did they not make a solid state version of this game I’ll never know
Quoted from deibert:All the modes in LOTR are fun to play. Hard to get bored of that variety!
Yes. Love Destroy the Ring! Always gets the blood pumping.
Jericho on Iron Man, especially with shaker motor and subwoofer. Oh man.
So many good ones.
I really enjoy Martian Attack. Hammering down the martians, while debating whether you should use that one martian bomb you've been hoarding, starting multiball, and trying to rack up as many kills as possible. Absolutely love it.
Close second: Bigfoot Hotfoot. It's an easy mode, but starting it requires a lot of risk. However, beating it and getting camera craze is super fun, especially when it's stacked with multiball AND 5x.

Amazon Hunt says "hold my beer."
Quoted from phoenixpin:I assume OP meant regular and not wizard modes. In that case I’d say barn on TWD and most all the modes on Alice Cooper Nightmare Castle.
Barn stacked with bloodbath and playfield multiplier! Left loop to pops all day!
Quoted from phoenixpin:Just realized OP mentioned Crank It Up so I’m wrong
Crank it up IS modes on Metallica, not wizard.
