Choose your song at the beginning of each ball.

![Led Zeppelin album display with "Whole Lotta Love" text and album artwork](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/led-zeppelin-pinball-deep-dive/inline/6839c9da480055a00f23d3a2_65f8521392da848c1182232d_Screen-Shot-2020-12-15-at-4.47.02-PM.png)

Each song has its own set of arrow shots that score points. As the song progresses, different shots become available to the player.

### Song Progression

Your progress through songs is something unique and something never done in a music game. Each song is divided into “sections” (verse, chorus, solo, bridge, etc.) and each of those sections have their own rules to show which shots are available.  If you “finish” a song, it will automatically transition to the next song.

‍

You choose which song you want on each ball, then it plays the songs in the order of the list on the back panel.

‍

Each song has a threshold of completing it, up to “Platinum”. Completing a song at the Platinum threshold is approximately twice as difficult as completing the game at the easiest threshold.

### Tour Modes

### Lighting the Symbols

![Led Zeppelin pinball machine with tour dates and band symbols](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/led-zeppelin-pinball-deep-dive/inline/6839c9dc480055a00f23d3e7_65f852127feaabdbb42b3ea4_vG3gjbMA-1.jpeg)

Each band member symbol insert has a corresponding set of targets. From left to right:

-   Ball saver targets light Jimmy Page’s Symbol
-   L-E-D targets light John Paul Jones’s Symbol
-   Z-E-P targets light John Bonham’s Symbol
-   R-O-C-K targets light Robert Plant’s Symbol

### Icarus X multiplier

![Winged muscular figure statue on a complex mechanical workshop background](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/led-zeppelin-pinball-deep-dive/inline/6839c9dc480055a00f23d3fd_65f852126686445cab6ee42c_Screen-Shot-2020-12-14-at-8.30.29-PM.png)

Shoot the Icarus when the symbols are lit to start the Icarus X playfield multiplier. Icarus multiplier is the value of your four band member multipliers all multiplied together, which you build from combo-ing into the band members. For example, if you had the four band members at 1.1, 1.5, 1.3, 2.1 your total multiplier would be 1.1 x 1.5 x 1.3 x 2.1 = 4.5X.

### Combos

Shooting any of the ramps, orbits, or ejects lights up the Combo inserts for a brief time. Combos score points. Shooting any of the targets while the game is running ends the combo and builds the Icarus X multiplier value.

## Led Zeppelin and Stern Pinball Announce New Rock and Roll Pinball Machines

## Made with a Whole Lotta Love

**CHICAGO, IL – December 15, 2020** – Stern Pinball, Inc., a global lifestyle brand based on the iconic and outrageously fun modern American game of pinball, announced today a new line of pinball machines based on the legendary rock band, *Led Zeppelin* and its music.  The *Led Zeppelin* pinball machines will be available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.

‍

Formed in London in 1968, *Led Zeppelin* consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.  Together they became one of the best-selling bands with estimated record sales of 300 million units worldwide.  In 1995 *Led Zeppelin* was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their innovative and influential impact on the entire music industry.

‍

In this high energy rock and roll pinball concert experience, pinball and music are fused together.  Players are transported back to *Led Zeppelin’s* early days and tour the world from 1968-1980. As if players were members of the band playing its music, their play updates game features at the start of each verse and chorus of ten iconic *Led Zeppelin* songs:

-   Good Times Bad Times
-   Whole Lotta Love
-   The Song Remains the Same
-   Rock and Roll
-   Trampled Under Foot
-   Ramble On
-   Kashmir
-   Immigrant Song
-   Black Dog
-   Communication Breakdown

“There is nothing more energizing and fun than bringing pinball and music together,” said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.  “Partnering with *Led Zeppelin*, we created a one-of-a-kind pinball experience.  It’s our dream goal to create a pinball machine with this iconic rock band.”

‍

The Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models all feature a custom-molded Hindenburg Zeppelin toy, based on the iconic imagery from the *Led Zeppelin* I album.  When lit, the Zeppelin toy scores speed locks on the player’s musical journey to Zeppelin multiball.  A custom Swan Song Records trademark Icarus sculpted leaper toy takes flight when smashed by the chaotic pinball.   A 3-bank of drop targets, 3 custom steel ramps, and 3 flippers keep the pinball action rolling.

‍

The Premium and Limited Edition models feature an innovative interactive Electric Magic™ toy.  This device is a unique motorized toy which rises from below the playfield to create different magical pinball experiences.  An optical spinner charges the Electric Magic magnet, capturing and making balls disappear.  The Electric Magic device also converts into a physical pinball bash toy capable of locking a ball or launching a ball around the playfield.  

‍

In true rock concert fashion, the Expression Lighting System™ with 96 intelligent RGB LED’s enables full color spectrum control.  Positioned in pockets cut into the cabinet sides to provide color themed full playfield illumination, this integrated playfield lighting system is synchronized to custom light shows specifically designed for every song and dynamically responsive to game events.  

‍

As an encore, these models have an additional reversing scoop and metal combo ramp, allowing players to keep the hits coming with constant adrenalized pinball action.  A back panel mounted illuminated song status board indicates which *Led Zeppelin* song is in play.

‍

Only 500 Limited Edition games will be made for sale throughout the world.  This limited version includes an exclusive Icarus themed full color mirrored backglass, exclusive custom themed cabinet artwork, custom high gloss Paradise Shimmer Blue powder-coated armor, a custom autographed bottom arch, exclusive custom art blades, upgraded audio system, anti-reflection pinball glass, a shaker motor, and a sequentially numbered plaque.
