Welcome to the Kinetic Clinic! Dr. Dude is the coolest dude in the pinball universe, hands down -- and because he's ''so'' cool, he wants to make you as cool as he is. While you're reading the Doc's story on the backglass, the nurse will check your reflexes and administer the "I" exam. Once that's done, go and gather up the three Elements of Coolness: a Magnetic Personality, the Heart of Rock 'n Roll, and the Gift of Gab. Then take the three of them, get yourself blended in the Molecular Mixmaster, then step under the E'''X'''cellent Ray for a blast of instant hip!
