## Analysis

Dead Flip streamer Jack Danger plays through Avengers Infinity Quest pinball, demonstrating gameplay mechanics including gem collection, multiball modes, and the final Battle Royale wizard mode. The stream includes technical interruptions from a product development machine, discussion of game design features, and interaction with chat. Jack successfully completes the wizard mode and ends with a high score.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Avengers Infinity Quest features six infinity gems that can be strategically placed on different shots for different effects — _Extensive gameplay demonstration showing gem placement mechanics and mode interactions throughout stream_
- [HIGH] The Battle Royale is the wizard mode/final mode in Avengers Infinity Quest — _Jack explicitly references Battle Royale as the ultimate objective after collecting all gems and completing previous modes_
- [HIGH] Product development machines use production software but may have different hardware and wiring compared to production games — _Jack directly states: 'Do the development pins still use production software? Yes, they do. They do, but sometimes the hardware uh and the wiring will be a little strange from what goes into production.'_
- [HIGH] The Avengers Infinity Quest machine being streamed is a product development version that is not yet scheduled to be picked up by American (pinball distributor) — _Jack says: 'American has not made plans to pick it up, so we're just chilling with it. We'll probably play it this week.'_
- [MEDIUM] There is a topper-specific Final Gem Jackpot feature in Avengers Infinity Quest — _Chat asks 'Is that what it is? Uh, one question I am pondering' regarding a topper-specific feature, though Jack is uncertain about details_
