Peggle Scoring Strategies
Report as InappropriatePosted on 10/05/08, 12:44pm
To maximize your scoring potential, you need to understand the Peggle scoring structure. For each level, your overall score is: (total shot score) + (Fever score) + (style points).
Your shot score is the total value of the pegs hit on a given shot (including the Fevermeter bonus) multiplied by the number of pegs hit. Let's look at an example below.
On your first shot, you hit three oranges, two blues and one purple. Your subtotal would be 300 (100 x 3) + 20 (10 x 2) + 500 (500 x 1), which is 820 points. You hit a total of 6 pegs, so your final shot score would be 4,920 (820 points x 6 pegs). When your Fevermeter increases, each peg is worth more points.
A few more ways to score points:
Leftover balls: You receive 10,000 points per ball left over.
Extreme Fever: At the end of Fever, the ball drops into one of five Bonus Holes on the bottom of the screen and awards you 10,000, 50,000 or 100,000 points.
Ultra Extreme Fever: Clear all pegs on the board, and all five point buckets will award 100,000 points. You'll also get a special All Pegs Cleared ribbon for that level.
(Rumor has it that a secret rank of Peggle mastery awaits one who gets All Pegs Cleared ribbons for every board.)
Style Points: These style shot points add to your overall level score but don't add directly to your shot score (so they won't help you get a free ball). They also contribute to your score in Duel Mode and, more importantly, toward the scoring challenges.
