Remember: You're a live wire. Be constantly aware of the enemies. Dart quickly to lanes where enemies are. Speed is especially important when frying Flippers. If Flippers have reached the top lanes—and begin their chase—you must attack them with lightning speed. And fire constantly. Don't be timid. And watch out for Spinners! | Remember: You're a live wire. Be constantly aware of the enemies. Dart quickly to lanes where enemies are. Speed is especially important when frying Flippers.

There are two types of patterns: Those that allow your blaster to sweep full circles around the edge, and those | There are two types of patterns: Those that allow your blaster to sweep full circles around the edge, and those that do not allow you to sweep full circle. When playing the latter pattern types—unconnected patterns—there are two "safe" spots to ambush Flippers. Those spots are on top of the extreme (end) lanes. You can stay safe on top of an end lane by jiggling your blaster back and forth and firing constantly. The Flippers will drop into that end lane, becoming susceptible to your fire. After destroying the Flippers, you can move around and kill your remaining enemies. Remember, always: You must both ''move'' and ''fire''. You can't stay still and expect to survive. And make sure that end lanes are free of Spikes. | ||

Flippers are your most persistent enemies. It's important kill them fast, before they reach the top of the lanes. A simple, effective method of killing them is this: Fire one shot at the Tanker, which will then split into two Flippers. One Flipper will immediately enter the lane to the left of the Tanker, the other Flipper to the right. Move to the lane at the left and shoot one Flipper. Then move back to lanes—to the one on the right—and kill the other Flipper. Do this lightning fast, or it won't work. Once this strategy is mastered, Flippers can be eliminated early in the game, before they reach the top. | Flippers are your most persistent enemies.
