Competition Mode
1 to 4 players can compete for the highest score. Gameplay alternates between players after each ball, and each player receives three balls per game. The game is over once all balls are played.
To set up Competition Mode:
•
Select the number of players on the GAME MODE screen by pressing the Control Pad left or right (1 to 4 players).

Select your favorite playfield, JOLLY JOKER, BLACKBEARD & IRONMEN, or WIZARD.
Conquest Mode
One player challenges all three playfields. Each stage must be cleared before moving on to the next.
•
STAGE 1: JOLLY JOKER - Score 60,000,000 points to reach the FORBIDDEN DOOR. You will have 30 seconds to shoot your ball into MYSTERY and move on to Stage 2.
•
STAGE 2: BLACKBEARD AND IRONMEN - Score 120,000,000 points to reach the FORBIDDEN DOOR. You will have 30 seconds to shoot your ball into BLACKBEARD'S TREASURE HOUSE and move on to Stage 3.

STAGE 3: WIZARD - Score 180,000,000 points to reach the FORBIDDEN DOOR. You will have 30 seconds to shoot your ball into LIMBO to conquer the game.
If on any stage you miss the FORBIDDEN DOOR, you will have to score an additional 20,000,000 points on that level to reopen the FORBIDDEN DOOR for another 30-second chance at clearing that stage.

Jackpot
During MULTI-BALL Play, shoot at MYSTERY (#2) to start the JACKPOT countdown. Win the JACKPOT if the ball enters JOKER (#3) during the countdown time. The first JACKPOT period value is 20,000,000 points.
Before shooting JOKER (#3), shoot the ball into MYSTERY (#2) or JACK IN THE BOX (#1) to receive 1,000,000 points each time you do. For example, if the ball goes into MYSTERY (#2) 3 times before going into JOKER (#3), the player receives 22,000,000 points.
Shoot the balls in the same order again to win the DOUBLE JACKPOT for 40,000,000 points. Before shooting JOKER (#3), try other scoring possibilities to increase your total jackpot score and try for the Double Jackpot.
