3. MONSTER FAIR Playing Tips from the JINNI ZEALA World Champion
I. Preface
This article aims at getting high scores. Therefore, please note some of the contents may spoil the fun of the game play itself(Of course there is no cheats though). Also I recommend to read game rules and tips provided by LittleWing in advance of reading mine.

II. How to practice
The first thing to do is to learn shooting the ball into Dracula Tent. It is the most important skill as it enables you to get SHOWTIME, Extra Ball, and JACKPOTS. Also you will find it easy comparing to other targets. Try it with the following procedures:

1. Hold the ball with the lower right flipper. Be sure to hold it steady before shooting.
2. Flip down and shoot when the ball rolls down one third of the flipper. If the ball goes to the right of the Tent, you should have shot slower. If it goes to the left, vice versa.
3. When you succeed, repeat the practice until you acquire the skill to shoot in the same timing.
4. Next thing is aiming at the Center Ramp. Hold the ball with the lower right or left flipper, then shoot just after flipping down. If the ball hits the lower corner of the sling shots, the timing is too early. Accurate shots to the Center Ramp will dramatically increase the success rates of SHOWTIME and amount of JACKPOTS though leaning it may be harder than Dracula Tent.

III. My strategies (for the moment. the contents may be updated as I'm still on my way...)

A. Popcorn Mania, Witch, and Ghost Drop Targets

Remarks:
A miss shot instantly causes center drain or ball lost in the out lane.

How to aim at:
PopCorn Drop Targets
A standard way... From the lower right flipper.
A risky way ... Hard shot with the tip of the upper left flipper. When COUNT DRACULA has been started, be sure to get one with one shot.

In a multi ball play, shoot two balls at a time with the lower left flipper. It is useful when you wish to start Popcorn Mania during another multi ball play.

Witch Drop Targets
A standard way... From the lower left flipper
A risky way... From the upper right flipper

In a multi ball play, shoot two balls at a time with the lower right flipper.

Hold the upper right flipper and wait when a ball rolls down from the Werewolf Roller Coaster(clockwise). The ball will be bounced to the targets without doing anything. (the ball must have enough force to bounce)

Ghost Drop Targets
A standard way... From Center ramp(Witch Rodeo) > the upper right flipper
A risky way... The lower left flipper > Witch Drop Targets > the upper right flipper. It is useful when Center Ramp can not be used as Wheel is turned on.

Naturally the two targets in the back can be aimed at from the lower right flipper using the holding technique, but the fore target may look impossible to aim at with it. But don't be discouraged. A weak ball sometimes drops all three targets just like an avalanche.

When should we go for Ghost Myst?
The most effective timing may be during THE SUMMON WEREWOLF SHOW. During the show, the way to Ghost Wheel is closed even if the WHEEL LOCK is on. Therefore, a ball never goes there before getting Myst. However, Myst can not be got until the SHOWTIME ends.
