If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Break the upper-right dark blue cap and the right end of the top orange gate so the crown starts spilling right.
Keep attacking the same opening until the white-and-purple pins and the right can row slide off the tower.
Wait for the falling pins, dark blue blocks, and loose cans to finish bouncing away.
Break the remaining top beam and the right side of the lower orange crossbar to expose the central pink post.
Remove the right can stack and the dark blue blocks around the pink middle column.
Tip the left side by clearing the last orange shelf pieces and the remaining pink side cylinder.
Finish the last dark blue blocks, one loose can, and the short orange crate; leave 12 balls.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A crown of white-and-purple pins sits on a dark blue cap above orange beams, pink cylinders, white-and-blue cans, and a central pink post over dark base blocks.
Goal: Spill the crown, expose the pink center post, and remove the last dark base blocks and cans from the platform.
Opening: Break the upper-right cap and the right end of the top orange gate so the crown and right can row spill that way first.
Danger Zone: Early shots into the pink center post do little while the crown and upper gate are still pressing on the bunker.
Mechanics: A crown-spill bunker turns from top-heavy into easy cleanup once the gate opens on the right.
