Similar to Pin*Bot, the NES version of High Speed uses the ruleset of the original machine, but with a few new elements added in, such as collecting safes and helicopters that allow the player to play bonus levels. Patches of acid can appear on the playfield which can dissolve the ball, and patches of water can slow it down, and a tumbleweed attempts to drain the ball. Rust balls and bombs can destroy the flippers. After collecting 3 helicopters the player is taken to another playfield with 4 racing cars and can use pinballs to try and slow down the other cars to win the race. Collecting 3 safes allows the player to play on a pachinko-style playfield. The object of the main game (as in the pinball machine) is to activate the police chase mode by hitting the nine stoplight targets, changing the main stoplight on the ramp from green to yellow, and then to red. Once the light is red, the player can hit the ball up the ramp to start the police chase mode. Shooting the ball up the ramp again escapes the police and starts 3-ball multi-ball, and hitting one of the balls up the ramp again wins the hideout jackpot (beginning at 250,000 points and growing until it is collected). When playing on the main table the bottom third of the screen always shows the flippers, with the rest of the playfield shown scrolling up and down depending on where the ball is at. This mechanic is protected by the same patent Rare used for Pin Bot.
