Fingerprint: Tanned adventurer in yellow shirt and red trousers balancing on rickety rope-and-plank bridge zig-zagging over crashing surf, bridge planks carrying numbered 1-10 round target medallions, two blonde mermaids with green tails on upright purple surfboards beside grinning crocodile
The single most memorable feature is the tanned adventurer in a yellow shirt and red trousers striding across a broken rope bridge made of numbered 1-to-10 planks that runs straight down the middle of the playfield over crashing surf. Beside him stand two blonde mermaids with green tails on upright purple surfboards, and a big grinning crocodile and a striped snake fill the right-hand jungle. Lower down, a blue-and-yellow curved plate reads BONUS MULTIPLIER above the flippers. The whole thing is framed by a shimmering golden lower deck with black spiderweb paint in both bottom corners.

A steeply raked, brightly lit pinball playfield with a jungle-island surfing/adventure theme. At centre a tanned, bare-chested cartoon man in a yellow shirt and red trousers balances on a rickety rope-and-plank bridge that zig-zags down over blue-white surf; he holds a small green parrot on his raised hand. The bridge planks carry round target medallions numbered 1 through 10, with white circular inserts marked 10 and 10x10 set into the water either side. Right of centre, two purple surfboards stand upright, each bearing a blonde mermaid with a green-scaled tail, beside a grinning green crocodile head with orange teeth and a striped yellow-and-black snake. Left of centre a further pair of yellow-and-pink surfboards and riders stand beside a dark purple cliff. The upper playfield holds two large circular pop bumpers painted as grinning tiki/target faces with concentric red-white rings, flanked by lettered value rows of small square lamps, a blue-purple chute and a light-blue pyramid of illuminated steps. The lower deck is golden yellow with black spider-web corners, two cream flippers, a fan of coloured inserts and a compass-rose medallion. Instruction cards sit on the lower wooden apron.

Blue-green swirling water with white foam fills the left and centre, drawn in broad brush strokes. A bank of dark-blue hexagonal raised posts with maroon tops forms a stepped cliff down the middle-left.
