Main Objective

Welcome to the Cosmic Carnival, the greatest show in the universe. There is a battle for control of the Cosmic Carnival between the ringleader, Talos, and the cosmic clown Wrath. Each of them have 5 challenges or modes to clear. Whoever clears their challenges first wins control of the Carnival for a jackpot. Clear all the challenges and receive a super jackpot and start the wizard mode. Let the games begin!

Skill Shot

Hit 1-2 of the lower drop targets on the three bank drop target to reveal a gate that allows you to access the shooter lane that will auto launch your ball back to the top roll over switches.
