Why should I open the upper-left side first in Smash Fest Level 88?

Because the center is trapped until one shoulder goes away. Once that side opens, the cans spill and the low shelf becomes easy to clean.

Smash Fest! Level 88 Walkthrough

hard Target: 18 moves 4 colors

Smash Fest Level 88 is a purple-and-gold can wall that clears best when the upper-left shoulder opens first, because the center then spills into a simpler low shelf.

Board Notes

Layout: A mixed wall of purple ring blocks, gold cans, and dark-blue frame posts stands above a striped shelf. After the upper-left shoulder breaks, the center spills down and leaves a low purple shelf with late cans.
Goal: You need to break the upper-left side first, loosen the central cans, and then clear the late purple shelf with the last gold can and small blue caps.
Opening: Start on the upper-left shoulder so the top cluster stops leaning on the outer frame.
Danger Zone: Shooting the middle cans first keeps the outer frame intact and leaves the purple shelf too crowded late.
Mechanics: This is a mixed-color can wall where the real solve is opening the outer shoulder so the center spills before the low shelf cleanup.

Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 88 (spoiler-free)

This wall gets much easier once the first shoulder opens; do not waste shots on the crowded middle before that spill starts.
With 4 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
