Led Zeppelin Wizard Mode Challenge

Led Zeppelin Wizard Mode Challenge

Karl DeAngelo / IE Pinball goes after the Wizard Mode on Led Zeppelin by getting all Platinum records without needing the sub-wizard mode. This is mildly comparable to getting to Portal on TRON: Legacy without needed Sea of Simulation, but this requires a much longer process and playtime.
