Use the yellow wormhole shot to get a replay as soon as you can. Try to always play from a position which minimizes the chance of ball drain and the penalty thereof: get a replay, raise the center post, and light the extra ball lights in the out lanes. Practice the left medal target shot and hitting the medal targets in general. Whenever you notice the red medal light is on (or even the blue medal light, if you're good at hitting the medal targets), start shooting for the medal targets. If you can drop these targets consistently, you can rack up several extra balls in short order. While that light is lit, each time you drop all three medal targets you're awarded another extra ball. The secret to a high-scoring game is the ability to consistently drop all three medal targets within a short time, lighting the purple medal light and earning an extra ball. Get multiple extra balls from the medal targets.
Flip the ball off the right flipper near the flipper's tip. Extends the time available to complete a mission, and gives you a chance of putting the ball into the green wormhole.
