Shift up to 5th gear before video mode starts for maximum points (~26-27m). Easiest strategy is to stay between the left 2 lanes.
During the 2nd ball lock animation, if there are three cop cars in front of the donut shop, move the shifter up and down for "Secret Mania"
Be extra careful abusing the ball save for RPMs when there's 2 balls locked, the ball takes an age to make its way through the empty trough.
After plunging, you can intentionally drain a couple times for free RPMs from the ball save. Don't push your luck, you're risking your ball.
Go for the orbits, and move the plunger w/ your right knee when it says "shift gears". You'll multiply bonus, activate modes and get to WM.
Upper loop advances RPMs and is also a million plus shot.
The ramp and tunnel shot will spot traffic light targets to make getting to the first multiball easier.
During the 4th Gear Supercharger Mode, the Ramp will be lit for 5 Million PLUS - next ramp is 10, then 15... Ski-pass ball to right flipper.
