‘Believe it or Not.’® feature: This multi-level rule enables the beginning player to achieve some of the game’s goals early on, while it allows the more advanced player to extend their opportunities through better play. The magnet under the shrunken head catches the ball, holds it for a second, then shoots it to the rear. In another mode, the magnet stops the ball and immediately gives it back to the lower playfield. The other magnet is in the Idol feature. Actual measured weight: 258 lbs (includes legs). |
