As mentioned on the previous page, if you select this mode, you will have to choose one of four cabinet types (which are shown on that right side of the screen as you are pushing the joystick left and right to select them): Upright, B&W Cocktail, B&W Cocktail (with Cellophane), and Colour Cocktail.

Once you have pressed the Firing Button to confirm your choice the game will start; given that it is a carbon copy of the original, everything that relates to it will relate to this game as well. Each stage begins with five rows of eleven invaders in formation - and, you must fire upwards between (or through) the shields (which will be coloured red in the "Colour Cocktail" mode), to kill the invaders, and kill every invader to advance to the next stage. You must also avoid getting hit by the bullets fired at you by the invaders; the four shields will absorb both your and the invaders' shots. You can create holes in a shield to fire up through but the invaders' bullets may drop through the hole as well - and as you kill more and more invaders, the remaining ones in the formation will speed up and the last remaining invader will move the fastest, moving faster while going to the left than the right. To prevent the invaders from dropping down sooner, you should concentrate on the ones positioned on either column edge; if one of your bullets collides with an invader's, one shall cancel the other out, and it can be either of them that survives. UFOs will randomly appear above the formation, which you can try to hit for bonus points - and, if any invader's path intersects with a shield (which make a permanent return in this game after only appearing either player had collected an "A" powerup in Majestic Twelve), that section of the shield will be removed (so once they are almost at the bottom, all of the shields will have gone).

In the third of the screenshots shown above, the virtual strips of cellophane are purposely out of alignment; this was the case on a real cocktail cabinet, and the red strip at the bottom of the screen does not completely cover the shields (it also does not cover the cannon, or remaining lives display, at all).
