* MindScrew: Reverse Frenzy, acquired by completing the left side of awards the second time over, is a multiball mode that swaps the flipper buttons. Fortunately, a lengthy ball saver is given to compensate. Complete all of the 7 main shots to light an Extra Ball.
** Even worse, the upper flipper remains unswapped. Good luck finding that right orbit shot.
%%* OneMillionBC: The "Prehistoric Age" era.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The crystal, as it rotates on some occasions.

%% * AppliedPhlebotinum: Tachyonium.

* {{Combos}}: Two sequences. One gives benefits, such as enabling Time Drive and lighting all Locks, while the other is more coincidental, rewarding only 10 million points and a cool animation.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUmgivXutuI]]

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: Two instances, both by finding Souvenirs within the game. One is a secret video mode, while the other is "Find the Cow."

->''"I do not know exactly what time you presently inhabit, so I cannot tell in what dark age of pre-science you dwell, but you probably don't even know that time is crystalline.''
->''It flows from the future and crystallises at the door of the present. The future is fluid and changeable. The past is solid and cannot be altered.''
->''But it can be shattered. And my work on the fluid future threatens to destroy the solid past.''
->''I have created - God help us - a shock wave of anti-time which is travelling back to the dawn of history. The wave has nearly reached your time already.''
->''We must return to the beginning of time and bring together the crystal fragments from the future to create a counter-shock wave. My time machine is crude - the best I could do in the circumstances - but it needs two to pilot and navigate. My co-pilot has...gone, and I am stuck in this time.''
->''My past has gone already, but if we succeed, we can save your past...and your future."''

* {{Antimatter}}: One of the souvenirs in the Distant Future, as a battery.
** The Anti-Matter Plant in Antartica. Dodge their attacks and fire at the plant to grab the Tachyonium located there.

* ContinuingIsPainful: Any balls not locked back during the Dawn of Time are lost, and they need to be re-locked in each Time Zone in order to go back to the Dawn of Time.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: Two instances, both by finding Souvenirs within the game. One is a secret video mode, while the other is "Find the Cow." Good luck finding the proper ones for these two instances.

** "Timeshock Frenzy" is the game's sub-Wizard Mode, available after locking all four crystal fragments. This is a five ball multiball and lasts two minutes. Both orbits and ramps strobe to light a fragment for re-locking, and shoot a crystal fragment (ball) into the playfield's center crystal. This must be repeated four times. Once all four are re-locked, shoot the middle scoop to launch the counter-shockwave and score 1 billion points. The player completing it fastest is recognized as the "Master of Time".
** The Wizard Mode is "Wizard Frenzy", which is only available if you manage to complete Timeshock Frenzy and save reality ''and'' have all eight pieces of Tachyonium. This enables you to go to The End of Time and start a six-ball-multiball mode that lasts for one minute.
