Why does Smash Fest Level 68 want a shoulder shot first?

Because the top crown has to be tipped off-center. Once it slumps into the ring, the rest of the level becomes a low circular cleanup instead of a tall center grind.

Smash Fest! Level 68 Walkthrough

hard Target: 17 moves 3 colors

Smash Fest Level 68 is a layered ring platform that clears best when the upper-left shoulder is cracked first, because the top crown then flattens into an easier low circular cleanup.

Board Notes

Layout: A round, layered striped platform supports a shorter center crown of zigzag walls and red-dot cubes. After the upper-left shoulder opens, the crown slumps into a low ring instead of staying stacked at the center.
Goal: You need to crack the upper-left shoulder first, flatten the top crown into the round base, and then clear the final low ring of striped blocks still circling the platform.
Opening: Start on the upper-left shoulder so the top crown stops sitting evenly on the circular base.
Danger Zone: Drilling the center crown while both top shoulders are intact leaves the round base too stable and wastes the cleanest collapse trigger.
Mechanics: This is a layered ring board where the important move is tipping the top crown off-center so the cleanup happens around the circular base rather than on a tall center stack.

Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 68 (spoiler-free)

The board gets easier only after the top crown is off-center; once it drops into the ring, stop shooting high and clean the circle methodically.
Focus on one color at a time: finish the cleanest grouping, then reassess the whole board before the next move.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.

How to Solve Smash Fest! Level 68 — Full Solution

Shoot the upper-left shoulder instead of the middle crown.
Keep peeling that side until the top cluster slumps onto the round base.
Let the fallen top blocks settle while the lower ring remains intact.
Remove the short center leftovers and the exposed red-dot cubes near the top of the ring.
Work around the low circular base after the crown has already flattened.
Trim the remaining outer striped blocks until only a short shelf is left.
Finish the last low ring pieces and single red-dot cube still resting on the edge.
