* ''Pinball/FooFighters2023'' has two mini-Wizard Modes, followed by a proper finale.
** Completing three out of six Van Modes lights one of two modes. The player can pick one, with the other only becoming available after finishing the remaining three Van Modes.
*** "Times Like These" shows the Overlord's spider robots interrupting a cookout the band's holding in Austin, Texas. Every shot is lit for a jackpot, with one relighting the rest and slightly increasing how many points they're worth -- the aim is to make as many regular jackpots as possible before then, so as to increase the special shot's score value.
*** "Holding Poison" depicts the band finding that their [[CoolCar van]]'s been dismantled by spider robots. Each member of the band is tied to a specific shot on the playfield -- shooting the drop targets and then the target behind them will light a super jackpot at one of them, which will reclaim one part of the van when obtained.
** "The Final Battle" requires playing every Van Mode (including the two mini-Wizard Modes), every Overlord Multiball, and Foobot Multiball. It's divided into several phases -- the first two require making specific shots quickly to [[spoiler:free the band from captivity/mind control]], the third requires shooting lit shots to deal damage to [[spoiler:the Overlord]] in a fight, while the fourth and final stretch works similarly but lights ''every'' shot for damage (and multiplies all scoring by the number of balls currently on the playfield).

** The cornerstone game has several mini-wizard modes.
*** "Bond... James Bond" requires a Villain Mode, Henchmen Mode, and both main multiballs to have been started beforehand. The mode itself gives the player 70 seconds to make 10 shots before they get a shot at obtaining a super jackpot, with ''everything'' increasing the latter's value.
*** There are a set of mini-wizard modes themed after specific movies that are lit after accomplishing one of four objectives (starting every Villain, Henchmen, Q Branch, or SPECTRE Weapon mode). These include "[[Film/DrNo Chaos at Crab Key]]" (a multiball requiring the player to make two separate sets of shots [[InterfaceScrew while the flipper buttons are reversed]]) and "[[Film/FromRussiaWithLove Ahoy, Mr. Bond!]]" (where certain major shots either award jackpots or double jackpots, with the point value of each one counting down as time passes).
** In the 60th Anniversary Limited Edition, starting the three objective-driven multiball modes (Bond, Gadget, and Villain Multiball) lights "007 Multiball." The mode opens with a short period where everything on the playfield increases the final jackpot's value -- once that's over, the player must [[BombDisposal defuse a bomb]] by hitting three drop targets and subsequently the right scoop. Accomplishing this starts the actual multiball, with every shot being lit for a hefty amount of points.

Further complicating things is a "stamina" mechanic where the player can only use the flippers so many times – running out ''also'' does damage.
** Finishing every Gem Quest (including "Battle for the Soul Gem") at least once lights "Battle Thanos". Whatever Infinity Gems the player hasn't collected by this point will be wielded ''against'' them by Thanos, translating to various "anti-perks" that work against them. There are two phases: the first has the player defend their own gems by shooting a few shots for each one, losing the gem to Thanos if they drain without a ball saver. Regardless of the outcome, making it through all six gems leads to the second phase, a four-ball multiball where the player tries to drain Thanos' LifeMeter before he does their own.
** The ''final'' Wizard Mode is "Trophy Mania", achieved upon collecting 24 [[AchievementSystem trophies]] (out of 32 total). It's a multiball where the player re-collects all each trophy by shooting specific shots, with scoring is dependent on the color of the trophies the player acquired.

* ''Pinball/{{Aerosmith}}'' has a sub-Wizard Mode and a proper example.
** "Medley Multiball" is a sub-Wizard Mode, accessed by getting at least one award in every mode. After receiving a hefty bonus for every completed song, the player is given the opportunity to complete any incomplete ones by shooting their associated area (i.e. shooting the elevator three times for "Love in an Elevator"). Completing them all lights the Super Jackpot, which will end the mode and drain every ball in play. This helps light the ''actual'' Wizard Mode, detailed below. (If the player completed every mode beforehand, they get an even heftier "Perfect Bonus" and still get to play the mode and collect the Super Jackpot.)
** The actual Wizard Mode is "Final Tour", a frenzy mode where the goal is to get through 24 cities by making various shots (grouped in sets of eight). Finishing them all lights the 100 million point Super Jackpot, which ends the mode upon collection.

* ''Pinball/DialedIn'' has two:
** "Armageddon": Start all 11 disasters to ready this timed multiball mode. Major shots are lit for Jackpots, while portions of the town get sucked away.
** "Showdown": Collect 8 Sim Cards by completing disasters/other features to access a final battle against D.I.E. themselves. This is very similar to duels in other pinball games, such as ''Pinball/TalesOfTheArabianNights'' and ''Pinball/WorldCupSoccer'', except D.I.E. constantly attack you with their lasers. If their lasers hit the flippers, your life bar depletes. Deplete their life bar first, by scoring Jackpots and Super Jackpots, to win.

Removed one example that didn't fit the trope.
* ''Pinball/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesStern'' has three of these, each of which must be played sequentially.
** Finishing four episodes lights "Team Up". The Shredder kidnaps the other three turtles, and your chosen turtle (along with a partner specific to them) must get through various villains to rescue them. The rules change depending on the specific episodes that have been completed.
** Finishing all eight episodes lights "Final Battle", where the player must stop the Shredder from [[TakeOverTheWorld taking over the world]] with a cavalry from Dimension X. It comes in three phases: the first is a multiball requiring the player to get past his army of Foot Soldiers, the second has the turtles enter Dimension X to fight Bebop and Rocksteady, and the third is another multiball where they return to Earth and must drain Shredder, Krang, and Slash's health by making various shots.
** "Cowabunga Multiball" is the final wizard mode, requiring the player to start "Final Battle", max out and collect a Krang Kombo, achieve 5 April Hurry-Ups and a Weapon Hurry-Up, complete a 1-2-3 Foot Combo, and collect a Jackpoto Grande and Triple Mondo Jackpot.

** There's also "Tommy Mode": a special hard mode where black plastic "blinders" cover the most important ramps and targets as well as the paddles. You must be able to play by hearing and touch [[Music/{{Tommy}} like Tommy]] to be able to get anywhere! Tommy Mode also activates during the normal game once enough challenges have been met, although it can be turned off again in the regular game by defeating specific challenges.

* ''Pinball/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' has Four Winds Multiball, a two-part four-ball multiball challenge. The first goal is to freeze and collect the four Wind Jackpots; do so without draining too many balls begins the Gauntlet of Pirates, where the player must repeatedly shoot the spinning disc at Port Royal to light one of the major shots, then shoot it to collect a Gauntlet Point. The player with the most Gauntlet Points is recognized as the Pirate King.

* ''Pinball/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' Creator/JerseyJackPinball's ''Pinball/{{Pirates of the Caribbean|JerseyJack}}'' has no fewer than ''five'' "Wizard Modes" (that are really more like mini-wizard modes, in spite of their name), one for each of the franchise's films. Each of these are activated by playing through 5 chapters and the multiball themed after that film.
** "The Cursed Treasure of Cortés" (based on ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'') has the player acquire 882 pieces of Aztec gold, done by hitting any switch (with certain targets adding more than others).
** "Battle the Kraken" (based on ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest Dead Man's Chest]]'') requires shooting the upper loop 20 times before shooting the Captain's Quarters to end the mode (representing lowering a gunpowder net and actually defeating the kraken, respectively). Adding an extra hurdle are the kraken's six tentacles, which advance towards the top of the display screen and will end the mode should all of them get there. They can be stopped briefly by hitting a specific shot, but once it turns red they can't be deterred.
** "Escape the Locker" (based on ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'') involves rocking the ship on the display repeatedly to escape the Locker.
** "Battle for the Fountain of Youth" (based on ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'') unsurprisingly begins at the Fountain of Youth on the playfield.
** "Don't Betray the Compass" (based on ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'') begins at the Devil's Triangle.
** Completing all five of the above leads to the "Ultimate Wizard Mode": "Break the Curse".
