Hitting the ball through the center hoop gives 5000 points and adds +1 to the score multiplier up to 5X on the fourth time.

Red Invader standups (4 in pops, 1 in middle of loop) advance a separate super bonus of 20k-40k-60k. Worth more in earlier balls, obviously.

Middle rollover lights spinner

Clone Chamber (captive ball) is dangerous, but 10K+10K to 50K is huge on this game, especially when collected via center top lane repeatedly
- General
Red Invacder bonus (20-60K) *IS* multiplied by bonus multiplier. Max bonus is therefore 495K.
- General
Blue Invader lanes (top lanes and 2 little flipper inlanes) light extra ball on big flipper inlanes. Also lights center target, but meh.
- General
Completing top lanes lights center top lane for "Clone Chamber Value," which is the captive ball value, or 10K-50K!!!
