Keys to the Game
- Start as Eddie Brock, the far left host. Use the right flipper to select the skill shot, "spot a mini-mode", at the left loop. Making this skill shot will instantly spot the highest mini-mode up the ladder (yellow, by default) and make quick progress towards completing Eddie's mini-mode ladder.
- Once the ladder is completed, change host will be lit at the left ramp. Hit the left ramp when lit, then change to Flash Thompson and select "spot a mini-mode" as the bonus shot at the right loop. Complete Flash's mini-mode ladder just like you did Eddie's.
- Go for Mayhem Multiball locks at the flashing green shots. The amount of mini-mode shots you made up to this point should guarantee you'll have 6-ball multiball available. Just make sure that you hold the action button after each lock following the 2nd ball lock.
- Play Mayhem Multiball after locking all 6 balls. Aim for Carnage during the initial ball save, then hit the center ramp when lit red to start Carnage multiball. Then, during the stack, hold the action button to activate spider-sense. Hit the random flashing shot to light super jackpots for both multiballs. Keep spamming the center ramp to light the bell tower for playfield X during the multiball stack as well.
- Once the stack ends, aim for the scoop. Scream video mode will often be qualified at this point (from defeating enough Infected). After playing Scream, shoot the scoop again to start Toxin Team-Up. Select Sleeper during the team-up selection screen at the start of the mode, and press the action button to save your ball if it is about to drain during Toxin.
- Still playing as Flash? Go for his character combo: right loop, scoop, left ramp, scoop. This character combo doesn't involve the center ramp and is a reliable source of points. Then hit the scoop again to start host hurry-up. Aim for the four shots again, in the same order, to put the hammer down on your opponents!
