## Analysis

Jack Danger streams gameplay on Batman '66 pinball, demonstrating advanced techniques including mode stacking, villain sequencing, and playfield multiplier management. The stream features technical commentary on Batman '66 rules, charitable banter with chat supporters, and concludes with a 48 billion point score achieved through careful mode progression and extra ball management.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Mr. Freeze is an exceptionally strong mode because minor villain modes don't time out when he's active, giving essentially infinite time — _Jack explicitly states 'Mr. Freeze Again, that's how... He's, like, so freaking strong, it's insane' and references the mechanical advantage multiple times during gameplay_
- [HIGH] Season 1 Tut doesn't provide a TV multiplier but instead saves minor villain progress — _Jack corrects his understanding mid-stream: 'Season 1 Tut doesn't give a TV multiplier. It saves minor villain progress.'_
- [HIGH] The Batmobile diverter on Batman '66 sometimes turns inconsistently or gets stuck in weird positions — _Jack comments 'Sometimes the Batmobile turns weird' and later 'the Batmobile to frickin' settle, bro'_
- [MEDIUM] Batman '66 becomes significantly easier after the game is leveled (wedge adjusted) to eliminate the physical lean — _Jack notes 'Playing Batman without any physical ailments' and references leveling the game; he also mentions 'Ever since I leveled the game, that Backhand Pinball hasn't felt right'_

## Transcript

 If I had a boilerplate it... Tuh tuh tuh tuh... Nudge up, idiot! I'm nudging side to side, like I've never played pinball before. Look at that, see? Nudge up. And I'm also not hitting anything. Good thing the major villain modes are not timed. Ooh. Well, hold on. Long blink. My eyes are dry. Nudge up. free spinner shots Mr. Freeze and Bookworm are essential? yeah, absolutely yeah, the shots have definitely moved now that we've adjusted the game so this is going to take me a second to get reacquainted There's 2x. Oh, the switch didn't work. Okay. Here we go. Your brain is trying to compensate for the lean that isn't there. True. Wait. You mean I'm playing Batman without any physical ailments? Okay. Do you even bother with major villains? You have to be in one in order for multiball to be available and just ancillary points when you're doing minor villain stuff. Like right now, I'm just playing around for a minute to make sure I get the hang of the non-existent lean that okay wow we just got screwed there so we're gonna skip and we're gonna shoot the tv shot but not before we get a gadget okay Okay, so number one, bookworm. Shoot up the middle to light everything. Then when you light everything, you've got to hit everything. This will give us more time. What next? Remember, if they time out, you're screwed unless you had already completed Mad Hatter. Okay? Mother McCree! Mother McCree! Caught in the Batlock once more! Okay. I'm using... Don't you fuck me. Don't start a multiball either, you stupid shit idiot! Okay. We have to make some calculated moves here. So we still gotta put a ball... Okay, we gotta go up that ramp. We gotta go up the other ramp. Okay, then we gotta hit the middle. Okay, we finished him. Alright, so Bookworm is done. That was tricky. That was tricky, but we're good. We're alive. Bookworm is completed. Uh, did you see that trash that just happened? Jumping over the flipper? all right so that's season one now we're gonna go season two yo 53 months coming in from the hottest female character in the sitcom that is dead flip uh wife thank you for 53 months ladies and gentlemen flippers and butts up okay we're still in the joker welcome aboard kid pog plus two bonus multiplier hell yeah okay next is mr freeze now we don't want any of the red shots you only want blue fuck Only one blue. And remember, the shit's timed, so... Stop messing up. Okay. Okay. You also don't want to drain. Okay, hands up. Alright, so we've got the god stack right now. We have Bookworm done and Mr. Freeze done. So we currently have Bat Turn running, which is a fast-scoring mode. We have this for the rest of the ball. So every shot's just going to be worth extra points, which is pretty dope. Imagine having a wife. Bruh. Bruh. Thanks for the biddies, wife. Bruh. Okay. What we really want is a playfield multiplier now, but we're going to take it easy. We're going to take it easy. I think we want to shoot the far right orbit. Yeah, far right orbit. Or get into another TV, which also is something we should probably work on. It's all good. So, we never actually got our playfield multiplier, but since Mr. Freeze carries over to the next ball, we good. We good. Welcome aboard, kid. Welcome aboard, kid. Uh, yo, thanks, it has pockets. Love you, buddy. Thank you for four months in a row. Internet, flippers, and books. Oh! So here's where we would start playing Tut, but because I just need a break for a minute, we're going to play Shame. I want a little bit of a breather. So we're going to use this to get some shot multipliers and our playfield multiplier. Okay, we got to hit that target, though. And hit. There it is. All right. There's play field multiple. Nope, not yet. Wait. Nope, not yet. So we got to shoot through. There it is. Nope. Damn. What the hell? We have to shoot through the Batmobile to get our... Should have done Season 3. Shame. True. I don't want to finish this, though. All right. So sometimes the Batmobile turns weird. But you're right. Had I played Season 3 Shame and finished it, we could have gone into one of those wizard modes. Look at that Batmobile. It needs to turn and I'm on two warnings. Was that 2x? No? What the shit, game? I'm shooting through the fucking spinner. And I just multiplied for my first shot the wrong shot. That's okay. There it is. There it is. Oh gosh. Laura, what are you up to tonight? Are the kiddos all sleeping and peeping? Alright, we got an extra ball. Let's go. Don't drain. Is that two? Shit. How many do I have? Oh my god. I've never been so nervous about a ball. There we go. So let's do season three shame. Actually, oh, Steve Ritchie! Extra ball. I think I've got it. Alright, we have 3x playfield, by the way. And we do not want Penguin. We do want Catwoman. Treat it as two. You're right, you're right. Oh my god, what are you doing, game? There it is. To the Batpoles. How you doing? Internet, how are your Batpoles doing tonight? Oh, we have 2.5 billion points! No big deal. No jump. Alright, TV is lit. Bong. Ooh, light lock. so we gonna do another shame but we gonna do season three and do our best to actually finish it batman 66 is being very kind to us today I don want to speak too soon though See It listens. It knows. More gadgets for the bad bell! Shame on you, man. And then after that, we're gonna... We're gonna... Get the saves for the utility belt. Is that what we're going to do? You're a sham, shame. How many fucking shots does Shane want from me? Bro? Oh, we got it. Okay. So, by shooting the left orbit, we're in a good place to make a lot of money, but this left and right action is spooking me out. Okay. By shooting the left orbit, we're not doing bad, too. See, it's all about the fart wizard mode. Jack leveled the game so it doesn't spank him. True. I'm, like, hitting stuff now. Damn. Are we still in ball one, by the way? Also, our bonus is gonna... Gas attack, bruh. So much fart. So many farts. So many farts. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. every ball. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. I'll talk to you in a second, Internet. Okay, Internet. Are you doing okay, Internet? Are you good over there? You hanging out? Everyone having a good time? Everyone chilling, relaxing. Relaxing. All right, so that's one of the wizard modes. How many points did we get? Oh my god! So we got a few points out of that. Rudy Soup, what's up, buddy? Sorry, I had trouble reading chat during that. Alright, that save was stupid. Holy hell low. Alright, now we start tutting. Okay. Okay. This is... This is amazing. Okay, I think it's gonna... Do we... Okay, we're skipping. We gotta stay inside of Catwoman. Lol. so playing catwoman and tut together is hard because both of their shots are white why tut when you complete him he multiplies whatever mode you have focused i picked a good game to watch just tuned in hell yeah what's up chuck mystery our bonus multiplier is I don't know what it's up to but it's gotta be nuts I don't like this by the way minor villain modes don't time out because of Mr. Freeze Again, that's how... He's, like, so freaking strong, it's insane. Okay, we gotta be careful, because we're on two warnings, I believe. Jack, you're on two dangers. I know, I know. I know. All right, so that's a tut in the butt. There's one tut in the butt. Yeah, one butt touch. Oh, this is going to be crazy? Hell yeah, it's going to be nuts. I don't want to see it anytime soon, though. So we're going to go for... If he tilts, we're powering off the machine remotely. Ball two locked. True. All right, lighting locks. I forget how to light locks. I think it's just hitting shots. Oh, my God. I gotta slow down on... That was my bad. I got cocky. Shoot again. Was that a billion? 73x? uh what if you have hold bonus check player one you're all right let's see if we have hold boners i don't think i do no damn that was crazy uh we can get another extra ball too if we finish catwoman here okay now remember we still have mr freeze that's coming back So this, uh, we're gonna collect this for the extra ball. Uh, Rudy, we're gonna be doing tattoos this weekend. And it's gonna be terrible. It's gonna be actually so stupid. Was that mode completion? Almost a billion points? If that was multiplied, that should have been multiplied. I'm an idiot. Did you buy good ink? Nope. Bad ink only. Hey, you've got something. Alright, we're going to do the Riddler. I'll call him, sir. Alright, we're back into mode. So I need TV. What the hell was that flip? Alright, hitting the bottom TV target is kind of a pain in the butt. Whose butt though? Not mine. Okay, that ball wasn't going to stay. Come on, do it. Riddle me tits. Wait. Riddle me this. I... Did you see that? I shook side to side instead of up and down. Tattoo parties? Uh... Oh, yeah. Dude, absolutely. It's gonna get messy. We're gonna lay, um... We were tattooing other things. I tried tattooing, uh... Something softer. Oh, my God. So much nicer than those hard-ass lemons we were tattooing. Show us your tilts. Okay, thanks, game. I just need to shoot the left orbit. Forehead. That's season one still. Let's do season two. That was a gross drop catch. I know. I think we need the right orbit. Do we finish him? No, we gotta continue. We need the Batmobile to frickin' settle, bro. Please? Okay, we're gonna post-transfer and then shoot the right for a multiball. Shall we Robin? Let's Batman. Thank them saints internet thank them Thank him right now Shit we still have all these touch shots to make what the hell does it want me to shoot?

Uh, I haven't played it in forever. This is such a fun freaking game. But man, last time I streamed this, this game was just dumping all over my chest. I wish I had another shame can. Okay, let's see if we can finish season three tight and then we got another... I am on two warnings, correct? I'm just going to assume. Shit. Ever since I leveled the game, that backhand hasn't felt right. Bounce? Okay, we're good. Tut for life? Yeah. Wait, do tuts not carry over? Why do I only have two X? Tuts don't carry over? Oh, fuck. We're done. Okay, we need that far right orbit. Here we go. I hit that, you sack of shit. How many channel points do I need to save Jack from getting a tattoo? It's happening, Internet.
