Magnetica

The order that new marbles arrive are as follows, starting with the first red or blue then yellow, light blue, purple, green, white, black.

To pass one of the four modes (Training, Normal, Hard, or Special) in Standard Play, you must pass level 99. Quests do not seem endless because you do not have to reach a certain level; the marbles just stop. These four seem endless, but they are not because once you are at level 99, chances are not that much new marbles will be coming.

In the actual quest levels that have detonators, they do not appear in the slot where you can launch marbles. They are actually in the arrangement of incoming marbles. This makes it more convenient actually because you can use it at that minute, or hold off its usage for when you really need it. In the Normal Play, you must use one when you get one. They work the same way as far as the destruction of marbles is concerned.

When you launch a marble into one of these holes, the slot spins. If three of the same icon match up, that icon appears in the slot. It can be a silver, gold, or other color coin. A silver coin gives you 5,000 points. A gold coin gives you 10,000 points. The other coin gives you 50,000 points. It can also be a timer that sends marbles back a little bit (very convenient), or a detonator. Then again, there is always the chance that you will not get anything. It only appears in Quest mode.

Special Mode has smaller marbles because there is an extra circle to the spiral. It has expanded, so the detonator also gets a benefit from this. If you are lucky enough to eliminate most of the yellows before you get the first detonator so that only red and blue remain, you will get a killer chain once the detonator is used.

Successfully complete all Quest, Challenge, or Puzzle mode levels. You will play a staff credits mini-game. Complete the mini-game to unlock the "Staff" selection at the options menu. Use that option to play the mini-game again, whenever desired.

These devices usually lead to two or more different paths. When the switcher is set one way, the marbles have to flow in the path that it leads to, but the switcher can change its direction, pushing the marbles in a different direction than before. It only appears in Quest mode.

The option to select the STAFF button on the options menu becomes accessable after playing through & beating every stage in Quest mode. It doesn't matter if you score a gold, silver, or bronze metal on the stages. All you have to do is manage to beat them all. After completing the final boss in Quest mode, the game will make you play the Staff game once, then once it's done, you'll be able to accesss it and re-play it anytime you want.

These are the silver spheres, but they are not marbles. In order to destroy them, you must break a chain next to one or in between two or more. If you break a chain in between two or more, only two are destroyed. These just add space to the set of marbles that are laready on the board, so you have to get rid of them fast. They appear in Quest mode and sometimes appear in several levels in the Puzzle mode as well.
