''' | '''Visuals:''' On a space background, twelve shooting stars fly from all over the screen and meet in the center. They disappear and the Midway logo (a {{color|red}} elongated arc with a jacked-up "{{color|red|''M''}}" inside it) and "'''''MIDWAY'''''" (all in 3D) spin toward the screen. "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" appears underneath, conjoined. The words scroll to their proper wording. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, a comet moves counter-clockwise. As the comet moves, it leaves a trail of {{color|red}} fog. The comet then moves from right to left, making an "M" shape in the process. Then it moves up and down and left and right a couple of times. Then the Midway logo appears as it's formed by the comet, starting with the arc and the "{{color|red|''M''}}", which eases back a bit. After the logo is formed, the comet goes right and "'''''MIDWAY'''''" in white appears near the logo. The fog dissipates. | ||

The background clears, leaving the banner and cracked glass for a few more seconds. | ||
