Guys, what exactly is “wizard mode” in pinball?
Wizard modes are special modes in the game that are usually the last set of challenges to complete. You generally have to complete several other modes to make a wizard mode available. For example, in the Twilight Zone, Lost in the Zone is the wizard mode, but you can’t get to it until you’ve completed all the regular modes first (the ones in the door on the main part of the playfield).
Some games have multiple wizard modes, some have one, some don’t have any. Think of it as getting to the “end” of the pinball machine or at least one aspect of the machine’s story.
