Skill shot – plunge into any left inlane, the spider pit, or the river lane near the mini-flipper. Unique skill shots add ball save and light KING KONG letters.
Shoot the gong to start an island scene (Pro – hit island arrows to light the gong for scene start). There are five scenes total, with 60-second timers, that all award map segments when completed. Island locks turn the scenes into 2-ball multiballs and can be earned by making enough “climb” shots, then hitting the punchback shot.
- Avoid playing “Cross the Chasm” if planning to stack the island scene with a multiball.
Climb the building by hitting the yellow arrows. Reach the displayed thresholds for points, light island lock, and light NYC event.
Shoot the side ramp 3 times (+1 per mode) to start biplane attack. Rip the spinners to increase the value for each biplane destroyed at the side ramp.
Light KING KONG letters at the gong by making unique skill shots, hitting enough cliffs and ramps, or by collecting enough switch hits. Deadeye is lit at the right VUK after spelling KING, and spelling KING KONG lights the gong for T-Rex battle once no other modes are running.
- Deadeye – unlimited skill shots for 30 seconds. Light deadeye jackpot at the river lane by making three skill shots (+1 per jackpot scored).
- T-Rex battle – 4-ball multiball. Clear all shots of a certain color to light the spider pit for pummel (mash the action button for 250k per press & deal damage). If 15 slingshots are hit, shoot the gong to save Ann and keep progressing.
King Kong multiball – complete the drop targets when “light kong lock” is lit to light the center ramp for locks. During the multiball, complete the drop targets to light jackpots at the punchback target and cliffs ramp, or hit green shots to score awards and light the center ramp for relock + 2x scoring for all jackpots for 20 seconds.
Spider pit multiballs – shoot the pit four times to start (+2 per multiball). These are best used as utilities to help with scoring during other modes but have different methods of scoring jackpots. There are three pit multiballs and the lit one changes every 10 seconds. The best one is giant spider multiball (the bottom insert of the three).
2x scoring – complete orange “X” targets to start 2x scoring, hit the roving “X” target to extend the timer of the multiplied scoring.
Lost temple – shoot the gong and punchback targets to light the right orbit for a timed drop target shot. When all four targets have been scored this way, shoot the island treasure target for big points + super mode.
Rapids + action button – shoot the right spinner to send the ball through the river lane when lit via drop targets, or press the flashing action button to cancel out the river shot and send the ball to the upper flipper. Island mystery is lit at certain thresholds of river shots. Rapids starts at 5 river shots, shoot the right spinner repeatedly to build a jackpot scored at the Kong Cave VUK.

The Story: The story begins as Ann Darrow, Jack Driscoll, and Carl Denham arrive on the mysterious Terror Island. The group, each with their own motivations, is there to uncover the island’s secrets. Denham, the ambitious filmmaker, aims to capture King Kong, the legendary beast that roams the island, while Jack and Ann are more concerned with uncovering the island’s mystical riches.

Biplane Attack Feature: Shoot BIPLANE ramp to begin BIPLANE ATTACK.
Island Scenes: Shoot GONG to begin ISLAND SCENE.
