text: In addition to clearing the board, the player is challenged to get high scores with each shot. Points come from two main sources: striking pegs and style points. Each struck peg earns points, with further bonuses gained by hitting numerous pegs on a single shot and clearing orange pegs, which builds up a scoring multiplier up to 10x when all but a few orange pegs have been cleared. Additionally, one random blue peg will be marked purple and revert to blue after the shot if it is not struck for each turn; striking this peg will further boost the player's score. Style points are awarded for making difficult shots, such as striking two orange pegs consecutively a distance apart or getting lucky bounces off the ball catcher. When the player clears the board of orange pegs, as announced by the song "Ode To Joy" and the message "Extreme Fever", the bottom of the level is replaced with five bins of different point values for the ball to fall into them. The player is awarded this score, including any unused balls remaining to get their final score for the level. If all the pegs on a level are cleared, a bonus is awarded, all the bins turn to the maximum value, and the message "Ultra Extreme Fever" is displayed.
  In addition to the Adventure mode, the game features a series of challenges requiring the player to complete boards under stricter requirements, such as clearing more orange pegs or removing every peg from the board. A "Duel" mode allows the player to compete against another person or a computer AI on the same board in attempting to reach the highest score. Since the player typically cannot predict patterns, Duel mode requires a lot of skill to master. Thus, Duel is the only mode in which players earn ranking points. The Xbox Live and PlayStation Network versions add a "Peg Party" mode, in which up to four players compete on their separate boards using a limited number of balls, each attempting to get the highest score. In each of these modes, the game generally offers the ability for players to select which Peggle Master they wish to use.
