Modes:

Planet Modes

Hit the Time Machine to start the mode
Hit all of the flashing shots lit as the color of the mode to finish it

The mode you play is determined by the color of the records you collected the most of. There is a mode progress bar in the top left of the display screen.

Multiballs:

Time Machine Multiballs have 3 different multiball options all started the same way

Hit the Time Machine target 3 times when green lamp is on
On Premium/LE the ramp will raise
Hit the Time Machine to start the multiball

Each of the 3 multiballs; Red Barchetta, Subdivisions, and Fly By Night all have different rules with jackpots and super jackpots.

Far Cry Multiball is a 2 ball multiball.

Hit both targets on the sides of the right ramp
This lights the side scoop for lock
After locking a ball in the scoop, hit a either scoop to start the multiball
Jackpot shots are lit by different colors indicating the jackpot multiplier values
Collect enough jackpots to light Time Machine for super jackpot

After the first Far Cry multiball, lighting locks also requires hitting the right ramp.

Freewill Multiball is a 2 ball multiball.

Hit instrument drops to lock in the lit instrument
Knock down the remaining drops to collect the lit instrument
Collect all three instruments to light the Freewill lane
Hit the Freewill lane to start multiball
All shots are lit for jackpots
Hitting a jackpot shot makes it a super jackpot shot

After the first Freewill multiball, lighting locks requires more completions of the instruments.

Multiplier:

Shot multipliers are lit by hitting rainbow shots after a mode is either qualified or finished and will last the remainder of the ball. More shot multipliers can be lit by hitting the same record color shots as the qualified mode before starting the mode. These only last while playing the mode.
