The phone doesn't bother me at all but I do get annoyed with the Sim Card and Phone scoops when there are Cliffy's installed. The game played great without them but the holes weren't designed for the Cliffy so it's reject city! Other than that and the Electric Guy on a stick I really like the game though. I do prefer the gameplay of Wonka though because it doesn't have as many bounce-outs. The Gobstopper hole seems more than fair in lettting the ball in. Starting modes also doesn't seem like such a linear process.

I guess he serves his purpose by blocking certain shots, but it does take away from the flow of the game when he is always getting in your way. And when the Theater releases the ball and it bounces off the guy it it just doesn't seem that smooth. He's not as bad as Mick on a Stick and he does add more difficulty to the game but I'm glad they didn't put in something similar in Wonka which makes that game flow a whole lot better!

You must be lucky... When I play it on route it's a night and day difference in the amount of rejects pre and post protectors. I feel like hitting the Sim Card scoop is usually more luck than skill.
