Welcome back it is Zach from Flippin' Out Pinball from Straight Down the Middle and from the Pinball Show. Today I have the pleasure of showing off Jersey Jack Pinball's newest game creation, Elton John. So you want my quick and dirty on this game huh? First off it is quintessential Steve Ritchie. As a game designer Steve Ritchie is iconic and legendary throughout the pinball industry. He has designed some of the greatest pinball machines in all of pinball history. Alright So you got that. Then you pair that with Jersey Jack Pinball's leading industry technology. And before we even know what the game is about, come on, it's going to be a good one. There are countless themes throughout the thousands of pinball machines that have ever been produced. But every once in a while, there are a couple themes that become iconic, synonymous for the game of pinball. The silver ball. And over the last 50 years, a pinball iconic class has emerged. Some may refer to him as Captain Fantastic. Others may call him a pinball wizard, but for the other 7 billion people here on this earth, he's simply known as Sir Elton John.

Count the headlights on the highway But you gotta let me prove I'm all hasoomed And now I'm ready and I'm back to play Oh, oh, oh F-F-F-F-Fanny and the Jets And I think it's gonna be a long, long time To touch down, bring me round again to find Another man that think I am at home No, no, no I'm a concrete man Rocket man Burning out the field I've been on He's a pinball river, he's going to win A pinball river for a blue pinball Lord He's going home We'll talk about some of the rules as we play along. I want you guys to kind of figure some of it out on your own. That's part of the fun of owning and playing a pinball machine. But first, the first thing you see on the play field was beauty. But let's talk about some of the key features of this game. We've got a lot of ramps, a lot of Steve Ritchie fast flowy shots. We have three flippers, two at the bottom, one up top up here. We have a left scoop that kicks out to the left flipper, left orbit that swings all the way around, same as the right orbit swinging all the way around. Next you have a side ramp here with that third flipper. It's a repeatable ramp shot. You can also shoot up that side ramp when available to lock balls. It'll divert it into the piano physically, a physical ball lock within that piano for certain multi balls. You have a left ramp. In between the left ramp and the side ramp is a backstage shot. At first I was scratching my head with the shot because it's kind of a dead end stop. It just goes back and comes back. After experiencing over time the genius of this design, you can hold balls back there for it to have a moment on the screen and on the play field. Or whenever it does let it go, it comes right back to that upper flipper for a repeatable either ramp shot or another backstage shot. It's actually pretty clever. You've got a three bank drop target right in the middle there that rock a box. You've got a right ramp hidden up there. You've got pop bumpers under the piano. You have the crocodile shot that locks balls. It's also a buck that kicks it back to your flipper. Right down here, I don't know if you guys can see it, but there's a drop target for Rocket Man. Once you hit that down, there's a little passageway, similar to like a Medieval Madness, where it catapults that ball up around the backboard, around almost creature from the black, lagoonish with the lighting, another twirl, and then feeds it right onto the play field for an action shot right back into play. Other cool toys and features include, I talked about that physical ball lock of a piano. On the front fascia of that piano, you can kind of see it here, but there are little LEDs, RGB, that's full. It's almost like a dot matrix display, and it's fully informational. Right now, it's showing fire. It can show Elton John. It can show text.

  • “Look at the choreography. Everything is in sync with the sound it's fantastic... It's the choreography, it's the light show, it's the sound, it's the music.”

    Zach@ 16:16 — Highlights integration of lighting, audio, and mechanical elements as core design philosophy

  • “It's bright, it's loud, it's a blast. It's Elton John Pinball by Jersey Jack Pinball.”

    Zach@ 28:43 — Succinct summary of overall game appeal and endorsement

    It's pretty stunning. That is a stunning toy there. Not only that, but Elton John himself plays a piano. You may see during gameplay here that he's playing the piano with it with his little Elton hands He even turns and looks at you sometimes that's not creepy at all and then tiny dancer. Hold me closer. She spins around Yeah, she'll spin around Crocodile he'll rock. Ah Yeah, right. It'll hit crocodile rocky rocks back and forth the rocket for Rocketman over here That thing lights up like a Christmas tree Actually, it's better than a Christmas tree. Full RGB integration there. Pop bumpers that pay tribute to Captain Fantastic artwork. Artwork by Christopher Franchi. There are hundreds, probably thousands of LEDs in this thing. This is the Platinum Edition. This thing already comes stock with interior art blades. Radcals on the side with glitter and gloss. Metallic trimming, powder coating. A topper. It comes loaded. And then there's a Collector's Edition. Above that, there's like lasers and TV screens in the topper. It's nuts. It's got glitter on the play field. You get a different Elton John down here in his Dodgers jersey or uniform. Enough chitty chat. I'm ready to play some Elton John. This is a sneaky little pin. And quick story, I kind of changed my tune on this game the other night when I GC'd at Grand Champion. I was just in the zone. I was a deaf, dumb, and blind kid, and I was just feeling the design of this game. It was singing to me. I was like Avatar with the creepy hair thingy, weavy thing into this pinball machine. I was in it, man. Regardless, I had a couple moments playing this pinball machine that I very rarely anymore experience when playing pinball. Some of the most captivating moments happen on this game where the coding team and the designer, they stop you and they allow you to experience special moments throughout Elton John's career. I wasn't even around for the 70s. I was still a pup in the 80s. So with that being said, what I would like to do today, I want to show off some of the moments that I experienced during this game. I'm not going to be able to show you all of them. Some of them are so great, I wouldn't even want to show them off. And part of me is saying that because I'm not going to be able to get to them with you today just because they're not easy to get to. Some things we are going to show you today, like signature stage multiballs. You see these five big stars right here? Yeah. These four right here. so those are those are attainable we can get to those you just spell elton john and you get to those um if you get to all of them then you can go to superstardom never done that milestones you see milestones down there you get those there's like 10 different ways to get some milestones you reach those by like combo milestones uh maybe a crocodile rock milestone you can get them a number of different ways all it takes is to get four of those milestones and you get to the final tour that that the big one the picture those kind of like kind of golden tickets on Wonka so that kind of what that is There are other things you trying to do as well That again the sneaky little game uh has made me fall in love with it because it's not just getting through your modes and you're done with this game. There are all kinds of different things that you can do at different times, depending on what you, how you want to play the game. Uh, this rock a box right in the middle there with three drop targets. it's a pain it is mean because right in your face and it it creates death for a lot of people but there's so much fun stuff in there you get albums in there and if you knock those down enough you get to what I've gotten to it's one of the greatest moments that I've experienced in pinball since since I've been in this hobby it's called champ multi ball I don't even want to explain what it is because it's just it's it's an experience and it's an environmental experience with you and the pinball machine. Pick your favorite song. It's cool. It's really cool. But to get that, you have to get through like 45 sets. It's something. It's something crazy. So I doubt we'll get there. I hope we do. Oh, my God. So you get to pick your song, whether it's The Bitch is Back, Crocodile Rock.
    9:12
    Nobody listen to that. Leave on. Philadelphia Freedom. I mean, come on. Dentist Office, you hear that all day long. So you can pick your favorite song, but for now I'm just going to kind of play and show you guys what I'm doing as I'm playing. For instance, we're about to do a skill shot, they rove through whichever ones you want. I'm going with Rocket Fuel. You build up Rocket Fuel to the right, you see over there on the display screen, see that rocket? The more stuff that I do correct on this game, I build that Rocket Fuel. If I build up enough, then I'll start Rocket Multi Ball. So there's a number of things that I can do. What I focus on usually initially and what I really want to show off to you guys is that signature. I love that. Look at that. But I want to show off some signature stage multivolts and that's down here. We're spelling Elton John out. You see I've already got the O and the H, but right now I want to show you guys that. So that's what we're doing. And then you can spot those stars different ways too. You can hit them directly. You can do the in lane. It says star. You can do those through a skill shot. There are a number of different ways to do them. But once you get all of them, then you can get to one of those multi-balls. Anytime my ball save is on, man, I kind of want to go for that center bank just because of champ multi ball. It was like one of those feel good things that whenever you get to it once, you're like, Okay, I want to keep playing that game to do that again. Definitely.
    11:10
    Alright, we got the E. We need the O and the J. So we spotted the star there. That's how it's done. I spotted the star that gave me the O, which then lit your ball one, two, and three at that side ramp, which I nailed in a combo. So I locked ball one. If I lock, and I got my combos milestone. I love that right down here. If I lock two more balls, I'm going to start that first signature series multi-ball. And you can change those too. Like right now it's 1970. Using the action button, I can change based on which one I'd like to play. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Right now we just need to lock balls to that side ramp to get it started.
    11:56
    But in the meantime, as I'm trying to lock balls there, I'm also there we go I'm also trying to progress through like Crocodile Rock and Rockin' Man Multiball because when I'm doing that kind of stuff y'all I'm still progressing towards albums remember that I tasted the sweetness of Champ Multiball and I want to get back there so I'm trying to start these other multiballs so I can just bang away on Rockbox and get some of the albums and get some of the awards there's awards built into that little nine bank TNA kind of thing there too. If I hit one more, one more lock shot on the side ramp, I'm going to start 1970s Hollywood. Keep in mind, as you're playing these multi-balls from left to right, it basically is difficulty in a matter of speed, longer ball times and such. So starting off the easiest one. Trying to short plunge so I can, I got it all the around. So we have started a crocodile rock multiball. It's a two ball multiball. Now there's a milestone in here. Now it's not going to let me start that signature stage multiball during crocodile rock. So that's why that side ramp didn't start that multiball. but I am progressing towards everything else like the album's right up the middle and then if you can get the uh the jackpot on this ah the jackpot's really cool the super jackpot you try to lock two balls at the same time into the crocodile um and then you get the double super and that's how you get the milestone as well I love it So now we'll get right back to hitting that side ramp to start Signature Series. There are a number of different ways to feed that upper right flipper. Also, you can short plunge to try to hit it. You can try to do the Star Trek Picard maneuver up and around. You can do the right ramp that feeds it.
    14:16
    I try to do it. I mean, it's Steve Ritchie. You can backhand stuff on this. Here's a moment. I'll turn the lights off for y'all.
    14:32
    That's a pinball. That's a pinball moment. I love it. Look at the light show. Look at the choreography. everything is in sync with the sound it's fantastic oh baby I got my items to the notes on the playfield see the different notes when those are lit and you get enough of them you'll oh man that stuck all right all right calm down all right here we go while i'm saying the note so let me turn the lights back on those notes if you hit enough of those you'll collect things like sunglasses um different parts of the wardrobe platform shoes all different kinds of shoes all different kinds of sunglasses but that will enable double scoring which is going on right now. So then I'm trying to light Elton John again to get another one of those. Extra ball is lit as well. I love that feed. Oh, there we go. Kick that out moment This is Rocket Man Multi Ball
    16:16
    Again, it's the choreography, it's the light show, it's the sound, it's the music. And of course, I'm going to be pounding away on those albums right up the middle. So I can progress, especially when my bowl save is going. And if you get a super in this, oh. You can also get a milestone. It's wanting me to go to that side ramp y'all, but that's not an easy task. Don't do it. Don't you do it.
    17:03
    Oh, look at this. Oh. Oh, eat your heart out, Escher. Oh, baby. There it is. It's fed. I'm hungry, but I can't make it. There it is. Get up there. Love it. Mmm.
    17:24
    Okay, we're still in this. We got a good multi ball going here. We're getting those awards. That's kicking, that's good. Oh, even better. Oh, okay. Don't lose it now, Zach. Super jackpot. Wow! That was a good ball one, we'll take it. Alright, we'll turn the lights back on. Alright, ball one. I think that was pretty good. Over 100 million. Things that I'm going to try to be doing now. Right here. Alright, check out this display. I've got all 10. Now, I've got to get the green boxes lit. I've got number six lit.
    18:21
    One more time. So if you get each of those green boxes, this is nerdy rule stuff, which I'm usually not into, but I'm digging this game, y'all. Green box. That green box is going to give you an award down here. I've got tiny targets. I've received super jets. And as I keep getting those albums, hopefully via through multiballs, I can bash on that without dying. I'll get backstage frenzy, super spinners, piano-matic. and then champ multi ball again not going to happen here today because i want you to experience it for yourself it's that freaking good um but also because i'm not going to be able to do it with the camera pointing on me maybe i could take off the gla no i won't do that keep in mind i also have crocodile rock uh the first one first time around is two ball second time around three ball but it's really cool if you can combine crocodile rock and rocket man you get crocket man and it's a crocodile riding a rocket it's it's kind of cool so let's try to get into another one of these another one of these multi balls these signature stage multi balls i can do so by lighting all the or hitting all the elton johns uh the stars i've got o and h that's all i've got left I can even spot a star if I wanted to but I still want to don't want to get rocketed no one's spot start here we go all right so spotted the oh I just have H now if you can get that as a as a repeatable it's so good okay Calm down. Calm down.
    20:13
    Come on. Come on. Alright. 1975 Los Angeles would be nice. My locks are lit at that side ramp. There's lock one.
    20:29
    The shots in this dam, I can't... I can't undersell how great this game feels to shoot. Even that stupid center bank that generally I hate on games feels good.
    20:46
    I'm going to try soft plunge again and hit that lock too if I can. Added to the rocket fuel on my skill shot.
    20:55
    Oh, baby, we just hitting them tonight, aren't we? All right, let's start it. Los Angeles signature stage 1975 multiball it's a moment y'all all right
    21:13
    hey I'm still banging away on those albums up the gut dude I'm a sucker for it. Okay, and we're trying to spell Elton again. We got the E and the T still.
    21:36
    Be nice and get an add-a-ball going here. No. Oh, that was really bad. Is that it? Oh, y'all, that was horrible. Let's get the lights back on. I'm sorry for that. Just my apologies for the shittiness of that ball play there.
    22:00
    Well, let's try to get through. I got super spinners going though. Let's try to get through Elton John again. I've never got three. Remember on Jersey Jack games, there's only two tilt warnings throughout the whole game, not each ball. So I don't want to blow that. This is my last ball. You guys have got to see a lot. We've got a milestone. I would have liked to have got a couple. We got through a couple of the Signature Series multiballs. We even have some of these awards down here towards Champ Multiball. Now the extra ball is lit. I'm just saying, extra ball is lit at Tiny Dancer. I'd like to get that. And then maybe start Crocodile Rock Multiball, which is going to be a three ball multiball. Our meter for rocket multi-ball is not super high so I'm not going to focus on that but before blowing the entirety of this ball three let's see what's starting next is this that was Philadelphia Freedom I can't tell what's starting next um oh this is good stuff extra ball is what I'm going for should I listen to my mind I'm going to just It's the last ball I've got to jump into crocodile rock multi-ball And hey, I can get a milestone here If I do well enough and get that super Or that double super Hopefully I can do that and show you guys That There we go I got our extra ball Ah Is that it?
    23:44
    Man, I'm... My ball save is just killing me. Sorry. Damn. Alright, I got Piano Matic going too. I closer y I close to that backstab Okay I so close I so close I can feel it. I'm nervous. That's how I know I'm close. Oh my God. I got to stop shooting.
    24:31
    This is the joy of pinball. This is what I love about pinball. Elton John is giving it to me in spades right now. It's that nervousness. I'm anxious about getting to levels of the game that I've only got to once or never. It's in my fingertips. I feel it right now.
    24:49
    I need an O and an H. I don't even know how you start that multi-ball necessarily. but and you can see it you see it in the nerves missed shot there's oh I got some glasses that's good right there look at the speed I love it boom you can still hit it oh no no no no no

I'm nervous as hell. I don't want to blow this, y'all. I got a short plunge. See, look at that ramp. The ramp is lighting up different colors.
