Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure - Multiball

Multiball

There are four multiball mode in Indiana Jones:

• Regular Multiball (3-ball): You have to hit the three drop targets covering the lock hole, and then you shoot the lock hole to lock the ball inside the rotating idol head (located on the middle right of the playfield). If you lock a ball without hitting the drop targets, Shorty will say, "You cheat, Dr. Jones!" and you are awarded 5 million points. After three balls are locked, multiball starts. During multiball, various targets increase the base jackpot value (20 million for the Ark, 30 million for the Stones, and 40 million for the Grail), and you have to shoot either the left ramp or the lock hole to light the jackpot. After that, you have to shoot the right ramp within 15 seconds to collect the jackpot. During the jackpot countdown, if you have two or three balls in play, you can shoot the second or third ball into the lock hole to double or triple the jackpot value. After you collect all three jackpots, the captive ball is lit for Super Jackpot (Base value: 80 million for the Ark, 90 million for the Stones, and 100 million for the Grail). Again, you shoot the left ramp to light the Super Jackpot, and then you hit the captive ball to collect the Super Jackpot.
• Quick Multiball (2-ball): You have to hit the drop target (guarding the captive ball) on the upper right side of the playfield) twice, and within 15 seconds, you have to hit the captive ball to start Quick Multiball. Another ball is launched into play, and the goal is to keep hitting the captive ball for the following awards:
  • The Idol of The Incas (10 million)
  • The Diamond of Shanghai (15 million)
  • The Remains of Nurhachi (20 million)
  • The Cross of Coronado (25 million)
  • The Fish of Tayles (30 million) (This is a reference to Mark Ritchie's previous game, 1992's Fish Tales.)
• Well of Souls (6-ball)
• Eternal Life (6-ball): Completing all 12 modes lights the "Start Mode" scoop for Eternal Life, a frenetic six-ball wizard mode. In this mode, all six balls are launched into play and the objective is to hit all the targets on the playfield (including the Path of Adventure mini-playfield and excluding the outlanes) with at least two balls in play to score a 1 Billion point bonus. At the start of Eternal Life, the "Eternal Life" ballsaver is active for a limited amount of time.
