## Analysis

Zach from Straight Down the Middle and Flippin' Out Pinball plays a full game of Stern's Godzilla Pro pinball machine, showcasing various modes including Titanosaurus, Gaijin, Megalon, and multiball sequences. The gameplay demonstrates the machine's ramp-heavy design, building destruction mechanics, and mode stacking complexity, with the player achieving approximately 537 million points.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Godzilla has ramp-heavy modes, particularly Gaijin mode requiring ramp shots to start multiball — _Player commentary during Gaijin mode: 'Gaijin is a ramp heavy mode. Got to start that multi-bolt.'_

- [HIGH] Kaiju Battle and Destruction Jackpot are significant playfield features that can be lit simultaneously — _Player tracking lit modes: 'Kaiju Battle's lit. Destruction Jackpot is lit.'_
- [HIGH] Godzilla Pro supports extra ball modes with player-configurable caps (speaker caps at three) — _Speaker commentary: 'For the most part when I'm playing here at home, I have extra balls on but I cap them at three. That's just my style of play.'_

Alright, left rear. There it is. Scoop! Come on. Oh, I couldn't get it. Oh, I couldn't get it. I'm trying. I'm trying to hit that scoop, baby.

Bring it! Alright, let's play Titanosaurus, Daigin, Megalon, Everon. Titanosaurus. Titanosaurus got my name on it. Ready! Godzilla vs. Titanosaurus. Alright, now I'm gonna try to start that multiball during this mode. And I'll fail. We'll monitor your cooperation. That's all. Aha! Woo! Alright, here we go. Gotta be patient there. No! Ah, I can't get that left ramp. Alright, we're two lengths to here. My blow pressure's not up. The good news is that we didn't start the multivol and Kaiju Battle is still in. Can't get that lucky on the second one there. I don't know why I can't post pass on this game. God. Scoop! Can't get it. Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoop, scoop. We got jet fighter attack going. Where are we going to destroy? Oh, London. I almost lost. I almost lost my play. So let's go Gaijin. Gaijin is a ramp heavy mode. Got to start that multi-bolt. Got to. Got to start that multi-bolt. And you got to control it out of their scoop. That a nasty thing sometimes too Two huge monsters are about to fight Left ramp. Right ramp. Building. Here we go. Here we go. Love this song. Alright Jackpots are going to be blue during a multiball. Your other color is shot. Oh! Oh that's two of them. Alright let's get the balls into control here. So fast. Whoa! Here we go. Back up Tokyo! Time is running out! Oh my God! Can you get that left hand? Oh, you're a woman! Three, two, one! Can you get that left hand? It's cold in here! It's just a triple jump! There we go! There we go! Come on! Three, two, one! Gotta go center. There it is. Booty. airball there. Side lift. Oh, baby, come on. Godzilla is heading towards the power line. Get him! Get him! Come on, I need that center. Oh, did I get it? Get in there. Get in there. Three! Three! Godzilla is heading towards the... Chill out, chill out, chill out, chill out. Woo! We can only speculate... That's how you do it. ...on where Godzilla will strike next. Sorry, I'm bold, too. Let's go New York. We just have our destruction jackpot is lit. Take your fight! I'd like to hit that rice fitter a ton to get that Mechagodzilla multiball going. We got halfway through that one. Megalon's not easy. Let's go for it. Versus Megalon. Looks like Greg Bone' mom. Oh! Here we go. What do I want? What do I want? Okay. 37 million if I can hit that side loop. I love the effect lighting. Here we go. Boom! Oh yeah baby! There we go. Alright, heat rays ready as well. Oh, this isn't good. I can qualify another boat if I can. Here I go. Scoop! No, no, no, no, no. Ah What am I doing right now I in Tesla strength Nah The shield is getting weaker. Yeah. We are prepared to conquer the Earth. I don't know why I couldn't start it in a mode. Maybe I was in that little side mode. I don't know. I wanted to start it in another mode though. It's okay. It was a good ball. It was a good ball. Picked a good ball. I got an extra ball. For the most part when I'm playing here at home, I have extra balls on but I cap them at three. That's just my style of play. We're near 400 million. We got ramps to bash building and our Kaiju battle is lit. There we go. I don't know why. I guess I just... There we go. I don't know why. I guess I... Alright. Alright, bring it. Alright, bring it. Oh, I tried to kill him. You see the yellow shot? The yellow shots are the, uh, that's the mode. We got Godzilla multiball lit. I'm going to try to take it again. I know I wanted Mechagodzilla, but don't you do that to me. Let's see. Ah! Ridiculous. There we go, there we go. Alright, we get another multiball on top of this. Those yellow, yellow shots are what I'm going for to complete the mode. I'm also going for those Godzilla multiball jackpots as well. Side, you get that destruction jackpot, side loop, love that shot. I blocked that one. Oh my gosh, those spinners! I didn't get it though. So that wasn't the best multivolt at all. Alright. This is worth 13 mil if I hit that side loop. Ahhhh. Frickin' hell. See if I can get it? Nope. Did not want to start that. Still I've got no mode going. And I started the Mega Godzilla. That's alright. I got a little side going now. All right. No! Get up there Whoa You have been neglecting your calculations Not much I can do there, but we're halfway through Rampage, so that's good. Whoo! Yeah! Dang! Game's intense. It is intense. I'm loving every second of it. So we're over half a barrel. Look at this city. We got this city torn up. Look at New York. Look at that Brooklyn Bridge, though. Okay. Kaiju Battle's lit. Let's take a second. Kaiju Battle's lit. Destruction Jackpot is lit. And I think that's about it. We've already, we blew Mechagodzilla Mothra. God, I want that scoop. Scoop, baby! There you go. You baby! Okay, that's all for 7 now. Nothing big here. But it is satisfying. I usually get myself in trouble by going for the... Let's go! There we go. Let's go... We're only four of eight on Gaijin and three of five on Titan. Let's go, Everett. And now... As soon as he brings his weapon, hold the action button to charge. Might as well. We are prepared to conquer the Earth. We started off hot and then fell off quick. I'm sweating. That was fun. That was fun. So, not a bad score. Score, daddy-o! And do your initials. I must not have logged into Insider Connected. Hey, that's 537. We'll take it. Get a multiball champion. We'll take that one as well. We're fucking skipping in now. All right, guys. Again, I'm Zach. We're flipping out pinball, the Pinball Network, and straight down the middle. Thanks for watching. Thanks for tuning in. Check out our other Godzilla videos. I forgot to say, if you're ready to buy a Godzilla Pro, a Godzilla Premium, any other Stern machine, Jersey Jack machine, Chicago Games Company, American Pinball, World of Wheels Arcade Games, Golden Tee by Incredible Technologies, and Escalera Stair Climbing Hand Truck.
