Flipping a multiplier card will give the player that many coins on the first card, or multiply the total by the number flipped for all subsequent flips.

Flipping a Voltorb will cause the player to lose all coins, and ends the game, and moving the player to the level equal to the number of multiplier cards flipped before flipping the Voltorb. When flipping a Voltorb, the player cannot move up in level, and flipping either 0 or 1 will cause the player to regress to level 1. At any time, the player can Quit instead of flipping more cards to end the game and permanently keep earned coins, but the player will not advance to the next level. The player wins and advances one level by finding all of the x2 and x3 multiplier cards. Winning or Quitting, as before, will earn the player [[Coin]]s, which can be traded for prizes. Exiting the game will reset the player to level 1. | ||

This can be used to indicate whether, for example, the player thinks a given tile can contain a 2x or 3x multiplier or only a Voltorb or a 1x multiplier. | There is also a "Memo" mode where the player can set symbols with the Voltorb and the numbers 1 to 3 on every field which has not yet been flipped up in the current game.
