Fame: I can help
Three Wishes: Depends on what they are :D
Welcome to it then! :)
Hope this helps.
I LOVE this game. I have played Zuma Delux for years and beat it many times.
P.S. For all the young gamers.... I'm almost 70 and a grandma!
1) You need a minimum of 150,000 points per 10 levels, preferably more. This boils down to a minimum of 15,000 per level.
2) Getting 15,000 per level is most difficult on the earlier stages because the perfect bonus is so low. The perfect bonus is 1000 for the first 10 stages, 2000 for the next 10 stages, and so on. By the last ten stages, you're getting 6000 for a perfect bonus, making the 15,000 level score very easy.
3) You shouldn't lose any lives at all. In the very least, don't lose any lives until the last 10 levels.
4) Aim mostly for the back of the ball chain (wherever the balls come out), not for the front of it. Additionally, do whatever you can to get all the bonuses on all the levels. This gets more difficult the further you go because you'll sometimes need double gap shots to get the bonuses.
5) Take a break every now and then. If you're not doing well, stop playing for at least a few hours and then pick it up again.

Ps -- After beating the Iron Frog, the graphic gets a top hat and a monocle. :)
And for the record, I hit a new high score of 1,043,460 in Adventure. I'll share a scoring chart on how to do this if you want. It's a "what should my score be at the end of each level" type thing and if you're hitting those numbers, you'll break a million easily.
The trick is patience and retrying. A lot. :)

Nicolene, are you on 60 or at the last boss? In the last boss, "blow out" the candles in the corners by shooting balls at them. That will open up the real final boss level(s).
If it's level 60 (the spiral), well, make as many matches as you can, get every powerup you can and, if possible, use the powerups to get fruit to end the level quickly.
To answer a lot of questions on how to beat Heroic or Iron Frog, the main key is chains (just shooting at 2 or more of the same color and NO singles). You will hit ZUMA a hell of a lot faster. Of course do anything you can for fruit.
Kinda obvious I know and you have to be patient and switch to another color if necessary
my best score is in iron 5 and it is 472K in my pc and on my cousin pc is 505K
Highest challenge is 501K on level 9, I'll have to try Iron 9.
Broke 200K on all challenges - Iron 2 is brutal and took 171 attempts to break 200K
Level 50 challenge - 1,093,608 points.
I tried to beat your iron 5 and only at 493K so far
