With the use of a "[[Poltergust 3000|PolterGust 1000]]", which can be dragged from side to side using the mouse, the player has to direct a {{wp|Billiard ball|billiard ball}} into one of the six pockets on a {{wp|Pool table|pool table}}. This is done by flipping the switch on the Poltergust to vacuum the ball, then letting go of the switch, leaving the ball with enough momentum to continue rebounding off the table's margins and potentially fall into a pocket. If, instead, the player does not let go of the switch in time, the ball gets sucked into the Poltergust and the game has to be retried. | |||

Round 1 requires one bank shot; Round 2, referred to accidentally as "Round 3", requires two bank shots; finally, the actual Round 3 requires three. If the ball starts out in an inconvenient position, the player is given the option to reposition it as many times as desired. The player has three tries per round to earn a correct shot, and losing all of them ends the game. | ||
