This can be used to limit the number of players that can be added to a game. LE/PREMIUM V1.16 - September 25th, 2019 ======================================= New: - Collecting Ghost and starting Looping Supers, PKE Frenzy, and Mass Hysteria have changed: - Looping Supers will no longer stack with anything. All ghost collection will stop until you play Looping Supers. Once completed ghost collection will resume. - Looping Supers will wait to run until you have nothing else running. While paused the Looping Supers Light will pulse to indicate its waiting to run. - Added a Looping Supers ready state. When nothing else is running the game will go into a state where the only thing you can start is Looping Supers. Shoot the left ramp to start it. - PKE Frenzy will now only stack with Mass Hysteria. Ghost collection will stop until you start PKE Frenzy. While paused the PKE Light will pulse to indicate its waiting to run. - Added a PKE ready state. When nothing else is running the game will go into a state where the only thing you can start is PKE Frenzy.

While paused the Mass Hysteria Light will pulse to indicate its waiting to run. - Added a Mass Hysteria ready state. When nothing is running, or only PKE is running, the game will go into a state where the only thing you can start is Mass Hysteria. Shoot the left ramp to start it. - If the skill shot is still active when the Ghosts Collected thresholds of 60, 80, or 100 are crossed, the skill shot is ended. This handles the edge case where one of the Ghost threshold modes is ready to run (Loopin's Supers, PKE Frenzy, or Mass Hysteria) and a skill shot will start a mode. In this case, the mode should not be allowed to start. - Added an adjustment called ENABLING MODE CHAINING. It allows modes to no longer start the next mode in order for that ladder. The adjustment defaults to NO. Modes will not chain by default. - When modes are not chained you have more time to do other game features and it allows you to change ladders for your next mode. - Added an adjustment called GHOST TARGET SPOTS MODE SHOT. During all ladder modes, after a normal advancement within that mode, the G H O S T target will spot advancement within the mode. The G H O S T target will never spot the final shot of a mode.

Each ball the super can grow to a maximum value. As long as the Super Jackpot value is less than the maximum, each spinner spin will increase the value. The Super Jackpot value will reset to its minimum value each ball. - The GEAR feature now advances the playfield multiplier rule. When you collect the GEAR feature on the left 3-bank if the 2X is not lit or blinking it will light the 2X. If the 2X is lit or blinking and 3X is not it will then light 3X. - Added an adjustment called 2ND SCENE COMPELTE EXTRA BALL. This allows a 2nd Extra Ball to be awarded for completing scenes.

This continues until you shoot one of the four. - STAGE 2 - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE RAY Here you have 30 seconds to shoot as many shots as you can to collect awards at the multiplier "chosen" in STAGE 1. - STAGE 3 - ONE TWO THREE ROAST 'EM Here you need to shoot 4 shots to roast the Marshmallow man. - The Terror dog target will spot the right ramp. - STAGE 4 - CROSS THE STREAMS HURRY UP Shoot the STAY PUFT MARSHALLOW MAN one more time to collect the hurry-up and complete the mode. - Revamped WE CAME WE SAW - Sped up how fast you work your way through the movie. Each new award will work your way through the movie about 4X faster now. - A bonus is awarded for completing the movie. - Increased the maximum scores per award. - Added a new WE ARE READY TO BELEIVE YOU. - This wizard mode completely displaced the old one. - It starts as a four ball multiball, but it will continue if you get down to one ball. - You have 60 seconds to catch as many ghosts as you can.

If a stage times out you will have to start that stage from the beginning. - Hitting the captive ball will add time. - If you reach the end, the game will go into Victory Laps Multiball and will kick out balls until you have six balls in play. - Completing this will award a bonus ONE BILLION points. - Added a Champion for ARE YOU A GOD. - Added new River of Slime rules - Increased the scores - When you collect River of Slime in the right scoop, the rule may spread pink slime to other shots to be collected again. - Added a Librarian mini-mode to the list of little features that can start with the Symmetrical Book Stacking feature.

For example the USA coin door has a UNIT of 25 and the left and right slots generate 1 PULSE and the center slot (the DBV) generates four PULSES. The coin mechanisms accept quarters and the DBV dollars. Therefore, the UNIT is 25 (for 25 cents) and the left and right generate 1 PULSE for a single quarter and the center slot generates 4 PULSES for a dollar bill being four quarters.
