Iron Man pinball machine has 239 recorded tournament games in Blaine, MN, Minneapolis, MN. A game runs about 15m, the median of 239 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 56.6% of the time, which puts it at 36/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
Shooter spinners then bash the toy for Iron Monger MB. Whiplash 5 times for Whiplash MB. Shoot 8 drones then War Machine for War Machine MB.
War Machine multiball can be stacked with another multiball as long as you start War Machine first.
If you can get into a good groove with the ramps "Bogey" mode is a reliable way to manufacture points. Especially stacked on multiball.
Try to hit Iron Monger from the sides to minimize the magnetic interference.
Start Iron Man 2X scoring just prior to starting Do or Die. Collecting the hurry-up in this state is worth twice as much (up to 70 mil).
In War Machine Multiball, there is unlimited add-a-ball for twenty seconds on the War Machine kicker.
Do or Die is a 35M hurryup. After completing fast scoring, 3 MBs, and 8 drones shoot middle to start hurryup, middle again to collect it.
Try to get each mode one or two shots away from starting before playing any of them to make getting Do or Die easier.
If Iron Monger is set to "Hard", the player needs to hit the center spinner as the final shot to bring up the Monger.
