Super modes during retro mode provide 3x multiplier on points
high confidence · DAS explaining the massive 150-200M shot: 'I was doing that during retro which is three times the points so I was getting like five to ten and then to the cat... when you hit this shot it cashes out with all the supers... it's like you hit this one shot and it's just... 150 to 200 first time that happened'
