UK Machine Record
Iron Man
Stern · 2010 · at 4 UK venues.
Iron Man is Stern’s Marvel machine built around Tony Stark and his armour, with the player working through a series of missions based on Iron Man’s enemies and technology.
The game’s major features revolve around the Iron Monger, Whiplash and other threats, with the player progressively building towards larger battles and multiball opportunities.
It is a fast machine that rewards players who understand the mission structure rather than simply hammering the ramps. Think like Stark: build the technology first, then go after the target.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
Shooter spinners then bash the toy for Iron Monger MB. Whiplash 5 times for Whiplash MB. Shoot 8 drones then War Machine for War Machine MB.
Multiball1 tip
- Multiball
War Machine multiball can be stacked with another multiball as long as you start War Machine first.
General5 tips
- General
If you can get into a good groove with the ramps "Bogey" mode is a reliable way to manufacture points. Especially stacked on multiball.
- General
Try to hit Iron Monger from the sides to minimize the magnetic interference.
- General
Start Iron Man 2X scoring just prior to starting Do or Die. Collecting the hurry-up in this state is worth twice as much (up to 70 mil).
- General
In War Machine Multiball, there is unlimited add-a-ball for twenty seconds on the War Machine kicker.
- General
If Iron Monger is set to "Hard", the player needs to hit the center spinner as the final shot to bring up the Monger.
Wizard mode2 tips
- Wizard mode
Do or Die is a 35M hurryup. After completing fast scoring, 3 MBs, and 8 drones shoot middle to start hurryup, middle again to collect it.
- Wizard mode
Try to get each mode one or two shots away from starting before playing any of them to make getting Do or Die easier.
