How to Solve Smash Fest! Level 165 — Full Solution
- Fire at the lower-left orange star block to breach the left column base.
- Continue hitting the exposed left-side orange blocks upward through the bottom rows.
- Switch to the lower-right orange star blocks and erode the right column from the bottom.

- Clear the exposed candy-cane zigzag bars from the center once the outer shell is stripped.
- Sweep the last candy-cane bars and stray orange blocks from the platform.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Red, White, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Shooting the flat center face of the tower wastes a ball on the inner core without collapsing any shell.
- Aiming at the blue cap first removes the roof but leaves the full tower standing underneath.
Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 165 (spoiler-free)
- Break the lower-left orange blocks first — the outer shell is the structural key, not the inner candy-cane bars.
- Let debris settle between bursts so you can see which blocks are still standing on the platform.
- The center candy-cane bars are only vulnerable after the surrounding orange shell is removed; do not aim at them through intact blocks.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 4-column-by-8-row rectangular tower on a golden pedestal. The outer left and right columns are orange star blocks, the inner two columns are red and white candy-cane zigzag bars, and a blue-grey cap with a yellow diamond sits on top spanning the full width.
- Goal
- Clear all orange star blocks, candy-cane zigzag bars, and the blue cap from the platform using 14 of the 20 available balls.
- Opening
- Target the lower-left orange star block to breach the left outer shell at the base.
- Danger Zone
- Shooting the flat center face or the blue cap first wastes balls without collapsing the tower structure.
- Mechanics
- Bottom-up shell erosion where the outer orange blocks hold the inner candy-cane bars in place; break the lower shell to let upper rows cascade.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many balls does Smash Fest Level 165 use?
The walkthrough uses 14 of the 20 available balls, leaving 6 spare.
What is the weak point in the tower?
The lower-left corner where the orange star-block shell meets the platform — breach it to start a bottom-up collapse.
Should I target the candy-cane bars directly?
No. The candy-cane bars are the inner core protected by the orange shell; break the outer blocks first and the bars become exposed for easy cleanup.
