## Transcript

Hello and welcome to Pinball Pursuit for this mini tutorial. I'm Mrs. J. And I'm Dr. C. This mini tutorial is going to go over all the dinosaur combos in the amazing Jurassic Park pinball game. Each dinosaur represented by the map in the middle of the playfield has a combo associated with it. Some of these are easy to get, while some are much harder. Hitting each of these combos will give you an end-of-ball bonus, and will earn you an achievement in Stern Pinball Inc. Insider Connected app. Hit six of these, and the game will light the extra ball shot at the right ramp. If you need some help understanding the playfield and the rules of this game, then you should totally check out our tutorial on it. And with that said, let's get going. First is the Gallimimus combo. For this, you simply have to hit the Spitter Spinner, followed by hitting the truck. Next is the Brachiosaurus combo, which starts at the left ramp, followed by the right ramp, and then finishes at the supply drop target. The Triceratops combo is next, and is another simple one. All you have to do is hit the left ramp, and then hit the amber target. Next up is the Spitter combo. For this, you'll first need to hit the helipad ramp or S shot, and then follow that up with the T-Rex shot or left ramp, and finally hit the right loop or O shot. Ankylosaurus is up next and is another combo that only requires two shots. You just have to hit the S also known as the helipad ramp and then get the ball to the control room. The king of the dinos, the T-Rex combo is next. For this one you first need to hit the center spinner, then the tower ramp shot from the side flipper, and then hit the truck. Next is the Stegosaurus combo. This starts with the spitter spinner, then you need to hit the upper loop shot and then hit the supply drop target. The Raptor combo is collected by hitting the T-Rex or H shot up the left ramp then the helipad or S shot and then finally hit the raptor target. Our next combo is for the Pteranodon. First hit the helipad ramp followed by the left ramp, then hit the right ramp. The Compsognathus combo starts at the center spinner, then has you hit the tower ramp shot, and then hit the 2x playfield target on the right side of the playfield. And last but certainly not least, the combo with the most shots is the Spinosaurus combo. First, you need to hit the spinner, then the upper loop, then the tower ramp, and follow that with the helipad ramp, and finally hit the left ramp to finish it. That is a big old pile of combos. We hope this helped, and if it did, please remember to subscribe to our channel. It really helps us out. And let us know what other topics need a mini-tutorial. Until next time, keep flippin'!
