** "Tommy Mode": a special hard mode where black plastic "blinders" cover the most important ramps and targets as well as the paddles for nearly the entire game. There is no way for them to come down unless you make it to the end of the game. You must be able to play by hearing and touch [[Music/{{Tommy}} like Tommy]] to be able to get there!

Ten prototype tables were produced for use as props for off-Broadway productions. The prototype included less voice samples, EM chime units, lacked the eyes on the blinders, and six pop bumpers instead of three. Another version made an appearance during the 1993 UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade during a preview of the Broadway musical. This version lacked the backbox and was locked in autoplay mode.
