To beat levels 781 through 790 in Smash Fest!, focus your initial cannon shots on low foundation anchors and corner support blocks. Removing base supports forces elevated platforms to collapse under gravity, clearing dense structures with fewer shots than targeting upper debris directly.
Target Base Anchors for Gravitational Collapses
In levels 781–785, narrow bases frequently hold up wide, multi-layered platforms. Direct shots at top-tier debris leave the primary structure intact and waste your limited shot count.
- Scan the construction before firing to locate the lowest corner blocks or main vertical pillars.
- Aim your first shots directly at the base anchors to undermine the platform's stability.
- If a mass is suspended, locate its single point of attachment and destroy that anchor to drop the entire section at once.
If a structure tilts after an initial hit, do not immediately switch targets. The shift indicates compromised stability; aim at the remaining base supports on the side carrying the weight to finish the collapse.
Bypass Front Shields with Ricochet Shots
Levels 786–790 increase obstacle density by placing target blocks behind reinforced pillars or front-facing shields. When a straight trajectory cannot reach weak points, bounce your cannon shots off adjacent side walls.
- Angle calculation: Bounce projectiles off nearby surfaces to hit exposed rear or side faces, which take full damage without armor interference.
- Link object destruction: Target connecting blocks between separate puzzle sections. Severing a central link causes attached debris to fall away without requiring direct hits on every piece.
| Tactical Approach | Primary Benefit | Target Application |
|---|---|---|
| Base Destruction | Causes structural collapse via gravity | Narrow bases and tall, top-heavy stacks |
| Ricochet Angling | Hits unshielded rear weak points | Targets blocked by front pillars or walls |
| Chain Reactions | Conserves ammo by triggering multi-block falls | Dense clusters with nearby barrels or loose blocks |
Trigger Environmental Chain Reactions
Dense block clusters in this level bracket are often too thick for single direct shots. Look for secondary objects in the environment, such as explosive barrels or floating blocks, that can be knocked into target stacks.
Aiming at a nearby unstable element creates a knock-on effect, driving heavy objects into dense target zones to preserve your remaining ammunition.
Adapt to Leaning and Asymmetrical Structures
As you near level 790, puzzle layouts become asymmetrical. Check the center of gravity before firing your first shot:
- If a structure leans to one side, hit the leaning side's lowest support to pull the entire stack down.
- Avoid firing into stable, fully supported sections when a structure is already leaning toward collapse.
- If a level fails, pause before retrying to locate the primary structural joint rather than repeating direct attacks on armored faces.

The tips are practical and easy to follow.
This helped me understand base building much better.
Good guide for Smash Fest! players. The base building part was useful.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
