If not... any other System 11 have wizard modes? I hit the jackpot during multi-ball and it has the best light shows pinball could offer so I guessing thats it. Shallow rules, but great flow, and part of my teenage years as it the one that drew us into pinball at the arcade, bowlin alley, and pool hall so it's a keeper. Dumped lots of quaters in her back then. Thanks
 
High Speed was the first to have a progressive jackpot feature that could be scored during only during multiball, so when it was released, it actually had the deepest ruleset of any game.

As for other system 11 titles with wizard modes, there are a few "bonus modes" that can be achieved, but not necessarily wizard modes. Space Station has the Bonus Ball feature, which is basically a timed extra ball if I remember correctly. Black Knight 2000 has King's Ransom, which is very close to a wizard mode, except that it can be activated without actually "earning it" (since the Ransom letters are held over from previous games). Rollergames had the Williams Bonus, which is just a hurry-up feature that doesn't get seen too often.

I love that spazz out light show flashing oingo boingo flipping out feature when hitting the jackpot during multiball!!! If you hit it with all three balls in play, it's sometimes hard to "see" the other two balls with all that explosive excitement going on!! Love it...

I agree... I usually try and trap and hold a few balls with one of the flippers to focus on the one ball up on the playfield to hit the ramp shot. Passing a ball from the right flipper to the left flipper to set up the ramp shot is fun and finally mastering that technique.
