Love it! Though it kicks my ass quite often, it can be very fun when you get to experience all of the features in a single game.
Quoted from Crash:Looking back at the video plunging the ball into the locker is normal, and it actually is a skill shot. Very satisfying though.
Actually the game considers the skill shot is when you hit any of the three yellow targets under the locker from the plunger shot, which opens the locker. It takes about a quarter pull or less. A full pull or close to it should send the ball up the ramp or into the locker if it is open. You can also open the locker by going up the ramp from the plunger, and when it comes back around hit it up the ramp again with the upper flipper. Then you can hit it into the locker when it comes back around again, that is the funnest way to do it.
