Turn the page. Gem effects and Avengers level. The progress of the Avengers holding the stone dictates how powerful that gem's effect is. In addition, any Avenger that has been powered up to level 2 makes the shot associated with them 2x scoring for as long as they remain level 2. This chart will refer to Avenger gem effect power for all gems.
11:51
Base 1. Avenger has not been collected. This is the base power of the gem. Base 2, Avenger collected. Avenger has been collected and gem usage increases. Power up 1, Avenger powered up to level 1 and gem usage and power boosted. Power up 2, Avenger powered up to level 2 and gem power and usage at max. Gem placement that cannot be powered up have their own separate rules associated with them. Captain Marvel and Vision Drop targets. Time Gem. Add time to the master timer, increases multi-ball time saves. Shooting the shot with the time gem will add time to the master time. If no timer active, then time gem builds time bank. Plus 5 seconds base 1 and 2. Plus 8 seconds power up 1. Plus 15 seconds power up 2. Plus 10 seconds if gem on Captain Marvel or Vision. In addition, possessing the Time Gem extends all Ball Savers by the times above.
13:01
Soul Gem Soul Gem, Jackpot, and other perks. Once you have placed the Soul Gem, from then on, whenever you collect a gem, the Soul Gem Jackpot will light and be worth an amount based on how many points you scored in that gem's quest. Soul Jackpot value is also based on the status of the Avengers the gem is placed on. Then list the values as before. Soul Gem jackpot value equals 25 percent of last quest total for base, 50 percent for collected, 75 percent for level 1, 75 percent for level 2 doubled by nature of level 2 Avengers so 150 50 for Captain Marvel or Vision Example 20 million scored on time quest Shooting soul gem with level 1 equals 5 million. Reality gem quest nets 20 million on a shot with level 2 equals 15 million times 2 equals 30 million. One turn the page. Once collected, Soul Jackpot not requalified until next quest. Soul Jackpot goes away on drain if not collected. Can move Soul Jackpot to an Avenger that's a higher level to try and get a higher payoff. Possessing the Soul Gem allows you to replay quests as much as you like, but should you fail a replay, you lose the Soul Gem. If you possess the Soul Gem during Black Order Multiball, you get a one-time Multiball extension. So when you drain down to one ball, the power of the soul gem kicks in and restarts your multi-ball.
14:40
Power Gem. Easy power up, power up memory. For Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther, and Black Widow, power up progress, 2x progression. Upon ball drain, power up remains for the next ball for that Avenger with the power gem.

Captain Marvel, pressing action button progresses Captain Marvel count up plus one. as well as spot any current shot on the Captain Marvel shot. This can be done three times before the gem must be replaced. Mind Gem. When hit, lights action button to spot the shot it is placed upon, unless Avenger associated with that shot is powered up, see table below. If no shot is lit, the action button unlights. Once used, must be powered up to reuse or transfer to another Avenger via change gems shot. Base 1, 1 use, spot shot gem is placed on. Base 2, plus 1 use, spot shot gem is placed on up to two times. Power up 1, plus 1 use, spots a needed shot anywhere on the playfield. Power up 2, plus 1 use, spots all current lit shots left or right and resets the use counter to zero. This is so player can't bank four uses of the spot everything. When you place the mind gem you get the cumulative usages for it unless you place it on a level two. So if you place it on a level one avenger you will now have three mind gem usages that will work anywhere on the playfield. You can also place it on an uncontrolled avenger have one use then collect that avenger and now you'll have two uses level that avenger up and now you have three turn the page reality gem shot x is a shot multiplier this shot is passive and therefore always active base one and two 2x shot value power up one 3x shot value power up to 4x shot value. This overrides the 2x scoring from Avenger level 2. When Reality Gem is on vision, only two thirds of the drop targets down count as a bank completion for a computer award in addition to 2x scoring.

All trophies simply add towards a count. You are trying to get to 24. When you collect all 24, trophy mania wizard mode is available. You can only have one instance of a type of trophy. If you possess a bronze trophy and then later meet the requirements for silver, it will upgrade that specific trophy. For this reason, it is not necessary that you need to get all three super jackpots in Iron Man Multiball in one go. Each time you get a super in the same multiball or another one, it will award a trophy, potentially upgrading you. Gem quests and time modes have score thresholds that determine whether you get a bronze, silver, or gold trophy. See instant info in-game by holding a flipper down for details.

We will now describe Trophy Mania, known as the Ultimate Wizard Mode, or the Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode. Trophy Mania. A 12, at 12, and 24 trophies you get an Atta Ball. Trophy Mania is the Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode based on collecting trophies to fill as many trophy cases as you can. When the mode starts, depending on how many of each type of trophy you collected, a portion of the 8 RGB shots are lit of that type. For example, if you collect 12 bronze, 6 silver, and 6 gold trophies, then 4 shots are lit bronze, 2 shots lit silver, and 2 shots lit for gold. RGB arrows color to show you this. Orange colored for bronze, white for silver, and yellow for gold. Every time you shoot an arrow, you get the trophy jackpot based on what type of trophy the arrow is and collect one of those trophies for your trophy case. The shot you just made will then swap with a random other shot. Trophies move around this way. At certain trophy numbers, you get an attaball. 8 trophies, then 20, then 36, etc. Collecting 24 trophies fills a trophy case and lights super jackpot at Ant-Man. When super is lit, drop targets will become available to form one-time bingos to multiply the super by 2x, 3x, or 5x based on how many bingos at once. When the super is lit, the RGB arrows will continue to award trophy jackpots and increase the super jackpot, but will not collect trophies until you collect the super. Once super is collected, you can start working on another case. Super jackpot value is based on points awarded from the trophy jackpots.

Flank Attack is the star rollover skill shot under the left ramp. If skill shot or auto plunge not active, then Flank Attack is active. Shots that aren't strong enough from the mini loop and right orbit have a chance to score a Flank Attack. If no quests are multiball running, Flank Attack awards 75k. If a quest is running, Flank Attack will spot a needed shot one time per quest. If a Malta Ball, Thor, or Iron Man is running, Flank Attack will spot either a jackpot one time or award 250k if no jackpot is lit or if super jackpot is lit.

This concludes the reading of the Avengers Infinity Quest Pinball Rules by Stern Pinball. I would personally like to thank Stern Pinball for putting out this excellently detailed rule sheet.

It is amazing to see a new game come to market with such fleshed out code immediately at launch and for the company to provide players with such a detailed guide that will enable them to perform better on the machine, whether it be on location or at home during this global pandemic. sincere gratitude for the amazing design efforts that have been put into this machine from the entire team i look forward to playing it and owning it personally i hope some of you out there take the time to listen to this i have no idea if you will um it helped me pass some time today and i thought it would be a fun way to put an episode out that i hadn't really seen done before. As far as it goes, personally, I like to read, but this document was pretty big, 25 pages long. And every once in a while, I like to have an audio book or have somebody else read it while I follow along. I'm going to put a link to the PDF document in the show notes. So feel free to check that out. But otherwise, I hope you guys enjoy this. This flipping podcast, although temporarily or down a host will remain around in some way, shape, or form and we will continue to bring you coverage of our involvement in the pinball hobby and whatever else we feel like talking about from time to time. But good luck. Go find an Avengers Infinity Quest machine out there. I hope that you enjoy it as I expect most of us will and as per usual, just keep flipping. Bye guys.
