Award Scanner

The Award Scanner is a Board Feature in Metroid Prime Pinball. The Awrad Scanner is a fast way to get items, points and Extra Balls.

Usage
When entering any map (except the Artifact Temple, which does not have an Award Scanner) the Award Scanner in powered down. In order to activate it for a single use, Samus must enter into the Award Scanner which will charge - presumably through kinetic energy. Once activated, the Award Scanner can be used once before running out of power again. When Samus is using the Award Scanner a roulette will show up on the screen and Samus may either lay a Bomb to stop the roulette prematurely or wait for the roulette to stop on its own.

Awards
The Award Scanner has several awards that may be given out. The Award Scanner is an "intelligent" roulette in the sense that it will not give out an award that Samus cannot use (i.e. if Samus already has full Missiles, then the Scanner will not give a Missile Recharge).

Health Recharge
Recharges Samus' energy to a full eight lights.

Big Points
If Samus obtains this, she will receive a 50,000 point bonus, which, ironically, is really not that many points for Metroid Prime Pinball.

Phazon Multiball
If this award is selected, then Samus will enter into a Phazon Multiball. This award is only available on the Pirate Frigate and Tallon Overworld maps.

Combat Ready
Activates the Combat Saucer for use.

Extra Ball
Grants Samus an Extra Ball.

Force Field
Re-activates the Force Field for use.

Missile Recharge
If Samus obtains this award, then all of her missiles will be restored.

Bounty Multiplier
Increases the Bounty Multiplier by one.

Power Bomb
If Samus has already used her Power Bomb, then this will restore it to her.

Kickback Ready
If either or both of the Kickbacks are down, then this will re-energize them into activity once again.
