Baywatch pinball machine has 38 recorded tournament games at 1 venue. A game runs about 19m, the median of 38 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 57.9% of the time, which puts it at 37/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
Make three skillshots for 50 million. Can be worth only going for top lanes to collect these extra points.
Complete drop targets to light lock at guard tower. All shots are jackpots in multiball. After hitting all shots, side ramp is super jackpot
Multiball consists of the largest points in the game. Hit all lit shots, then shark hole for super, then upper ramp for second super.
Using the Shark flipper can be very dangerous. Often you can just let the ball drop safely to the right inlane for a ramp or orbit shot.
On ball 1 shoot the guard tower three times before activating lock from drop targets. Makes starting wizard mode much easier later in game.
Modes can be timed out without having to activate switches. Good for getting rid of the risky modes (shark targets, yellow targets).
Making three skillshots lights permanent squid-pops (2 million pops) on ball three.
Shoot all five main shots to spell guard, completion triggers guard millions, hurry-up for each of the five shots
