Godzilla Rules

There are lots of different skill shots to go for. Try scoring a variety of different skill shots for more points and more ball-save time. The most valuable and reliable ones to me are the lane behind the upper flipper and the upper loop.
There are four tasks that must be started to access Planet X:
Shoot the ramps to light Battle at the scoop, then use the flippers to select one. You can start another battle by shooting the scoop to change cities and then making both ramps again.
Shoot the flashing blue targets enough times to start Tesla Strike. Rip the center spinner to increase the points scored at the flashing blue shots.
Shoot the captive ball when lit to destroy the bridge and eventually light the right ramp for Bridge Attack multiball.
Shoot the lit green tanks around the playfield to light the scoop for Tank Attack multiball.
Shoot under the building to start Godzilla Multiball. Make the flashing shots for jackpots and shoot the building for super jackpot.
Power up Mechagodzilla at the right spinner and flashing light blue targets, then shoot the right spinner again to start Mechagodzilla Multiball.
Power-Ups, Destruction Jackpots, Allies, and RAMPAGE letters light as you make game progress. Power-Ups are perks that last the rest of the game and can be chosen by the player; Allies offer chances for ball saves and 2x scoring; and RAMPAGE letters start the lucrative Monster Rampage mode.
Jet fighters and flying saucers can be encountered as you play through the game. Destroy them when they show up for awards and extra balls.
Shoot the center spinner to charge up your Heat Ray and hold the action button to use it. The Heat Ray collects everything lit on the playfield!

Godzilla Pinball – Quick Rules (3M’s and Extra Ball)

Godzilla Premium

Learn the quick rules to Godzilla Pinball by Stern. Get an idea of the 3M’s (Modes, Multiballs, and Multipliers) as well as how to get extra balls.

Modes:

Shoot either ramp two times
Get the ball in the scoop that should be lit for Kaiju Battle
Use the flippers to select which monster you want to battle
Winning battles allows you to switch cities to play tier 2 battles

Choosing Gigan as a starting battle is a popular choice because it requires hitting the ramps which gets you progress to destroying the building and getting Godzilla Multiball.

Multiballs:

Godzilla Multiball is the 3 ball multiball.

Hit the ramps to destroy the top/middle floors
Hit the building to reduce integrity to 0%; Use the window inserts in front of the building to determine integrity
On the Pro hit the building one more time to start multiball
On Premium/LE you have to lock three balls in the building to start multiball
Shot lit shoots for progressive jackpots
6 jackpots scored will light the super jackpot at the building

Mechagodzilla Multiball is another 3 ball multiball.

Shoot the right spinner enough times to bring Mechagodzilla online
On the Pro shoot the spinner again to light the flasher
On Premium/LE hit all 3 barrier targets to light the flasher
One more shot to the spinner starts the multiball
Jackpots are at the ramps and building, alternating with the barrier targets

Multiplier:

There isn’t a playfield multiplier for Godzilla but there are ways to multiply the Destruction Jackpot. Winning a tier 1 battle as well as getting multiple trains, loops, jet fighters, and saucers all get you multipliers to the Destruction Jackpot.

Extra Balls:

Collect an extra ball for the following:

Get through a 2nd Tier 1 battle
Destroy 10 fighters during Jet Fighter Attack
Destroy 3 saucers in Saucer Attack
