Description

Cue Ball Wizard has a two and three ball Multiball and an oscillating captive ball kicker at the upper playfield. Its most noticeable feature, a full-sized captive cue ball that can be used to hit two elevated targets, is placed below on the lower playfield.[2]

The ramp is the game's most important shot, as it has to be hit once to light it up for the wagon wheel award.[3] In the wagon wheel are all the modes the player must finish to reach Pool Ball Mania.[4]

gollark: Hmm, we should probably procedurally generate them somehow.
gollark: Who is reasonably going to be able to understand the effects of a million different operations?
gollark: Apparently npm has a few hundred thousand packages. If each of them is one operation, that covers about half of what we need.
gollark: So 132000 operations, *maybe*, although the overloads are probably just slightly different convenience versions.
gollark: There are probably not that many hugely interesting and different operætions.
