Strategy notes, tutorial videos, and outside resources.
Cyclone pinball machine has 188 recorded tournament games in Minneapolis, MN. A game runs about 17m, the median of 187 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 49.4% of the time, which puts it at 32/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
Shoot right ramp quickly 3 times to score the jackpot (first is 1.5M+, others 500K+). Right standup bank re-lights the ramp. Don't shoot it.
Just keep shooting that center ramp over and over and over. :unamused:
Jackpot is not doubled when in Double Scoring mode. Million ramp shot is doubled.
Complete the 1-2-3 rollover lanes to start or add 20 seconds to Double Scoring. This is important for doubling the Comet 1M shot to 2M.
Re-light Comet with 3 standup targets on the left, or the target on the right side of the spook-house will spot one each time it's hit.
2x scoring applies to bonus if you drain while it's running. This is rarely worth it, but has a maximum possible upside of 693K (7x99).
After shooting Cyclone ramp, shoot the Ferris Wheel to bring the ball back to the left flipper for a clean shot at the Cyclone ramp again.
Light Extra Balls by completing toplanes enough times (varies), completing the Duck targets 3 times or from a Spook House mystery award.
Bonus multiplier carries over ball to ball, unless you're at 7x. Advance multiplier with left boomerang kickout. Relight with return lanes.
If you have order choice in a match, check the Jackpot value. You may want to go first to take away a large jackpot from your opponent.
Drain the ball while Double Scoring is active, you can double your Bonus after your bonus is Multiplied, which brings your Bonus to 1386000!
There are targets that most people miss on the R side L side of middle ramp and lower L side that re-light the Ramos if they get in-lit.
