Keys to the Game
- Hit the WOW targets in the top right to raise the Ringmaster, then hit him 5 times to defeat him. A free multiball is given for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th defeats; defeating 4 Ringmasters is the most time-consuming requirement for Join the Cirqus wizard mode.
- The left ramp gives progress toward two different multiballs: hitting the standup targets on either side of the ramp lights locks for Highwire Multiball, while shots to the unlit ramp progress towards Strike an Arc Multiball.
- Two further multiballs are potentially available at the left orbit: Juggler Multiball for repeated left shots, or Neon Multiball from the Side Show mystery award. The latter is lit by hitting standup targets on either side of the Ringmaster.
- Completing the 9 “Marvel” tasks shown near the flippers qualifies Join the Cirqus wizard mode. Marvels are earned by playing Highwire and Juggler Multiballs, defeating all 4 Ringmasters, and making repeated shots to features like the right orbit, Menagerie ball, and right spinner.
