## Transcript

Last night we were able to get our first look at the new Stern Pinball official topper for Godzilla in action, courtesy of Joel Engelberth on the Flip N Out YouTube channel. Not only was this the first look at the topper in action, but Stern shared with him brand new Beta code for the game so he was able to show off the new topper-exclusive mode "King of Monsters Time Attack."

Wix doesn't like it when I try to embed Lives for some reason so I have included a link to the stream below. The first look at the new mode starts at the 44:40 mark in the vid. Enjoy!
