Playfield Toys
'Thing Hand' - Thing's hand, coming out of a box, grabbing the ball from the playfield, taking it into the box.

Thing flips - A mini flipper which you control with the left flipper button for most of the game. However, if you get the "Thing Flips" rollover and then make the center ramp shot, Thing will take over and operate the flipper for you! The software tries to automatically adjust the timing so Thing will actually learn from its mistakes when it misses.
