Introduction
-------------
So this is my FAQ on Boom Blox, which I did because I have too much time on
my hands, and need to start doing something productive. That and I feel bad
for using GFAQ’s for all these years without making one myself, and I hoped
Boom Blox would be a good game to do a FAQ on. My first FAQ might as well be
a full one.
Anyway, I’m hoping to just make this as sort of a help guide, in that it
tells you pretty much how to do all the puzzles in this game, and have some
tips on the multiplayer stuff too. I just hope someone finds it useful.

Version History - VH
----------------
6-13-2008 0.30 Got the basic stuff together, instructions for all of the
explore missions and some of adventure mode, and this whole thing organized
and first submitted.
6-20-08 0.40 Got Adventure mode done, gold medal for all of the missions, some
of the explore challenge stuff, and almost half of the Party Co-op done.
6-31-08 0.60 Got Finished up all of the explore challenge levels, started a
few Challenge adventure levels, and finish all the Co-op levels. Now just
adventure challenge, and competitive, and I'm done. Sort of. Still need to
work out some strategies for gold, format, check for grammar... if I ever can
finish this thing.
7-12-08 0.80 Finished all of the one player stuff, now I just need to get
through all the competitive part levels.
8-7-08 1.00 Finally finished everything. Now I just need to read through and
edit this, fine tune a bunch of strategies, do this, do that... I feel like
making a FAQ is a never ending project. But I am done with version 1.0!
9-3-08 1.20 Hey, I actually am still working on this thing! I added in a few
more explanatory parts, and a create mode part. Hopefully this will help
people figure out how the game work better too. I also updated a few levels
strategies, and hope to get more done soon.

Controls - CBGS
---------
The controls for this game are very basic, but I’ll do my best to cover them
all.
A button : used for selecting and item to place, copy, or erase
B button : go back a screen in menu
B button : hold down and point to move camera when solving puzzles
Control Pad : Used for rotating items
1 button/2 button : Used for raising/lowering the camera
Control stick on nunchuk : Used for moving the camera around
C button/Z button nunchuk : Used for zooming in and out with the camera
Grab/Throw a blox : Point the Wii mote at it and hold down A
Throw : While holding down A, swing the Wii mote forward and release A.
Push/Pull : Grab a blox by holding A, then move the Wii mote to move the
blox in any direction.
Move camera : Hold B and move Wii mote, or use the control stick on the
nunchuk
---------------
Tips n’ Tricks
---------------
These are just some things that may be basic, but still help out.
- When throwing, try to just flick your wrist to get a power throw so you
don’t wear out your arm
- When pushing/pulling blox, try pulling them out sideways and then getting
rid of them. DO NOT hit the pile of blox with a blox you have pulled out.
(Thanks to skullgon for helping me figure this out)
- On a push/pull mission, if part or all of a blox stack is falling, just
try to grab each of the falling blocks by tapping A on it, and then going for
another blox. This can be the difference between getting a medal and failing
a puzzle sometimes.
- Gravity effects your throws too-when throwing big items (bombs and bowling
balls), they start to curve down after awhile, so aim a bit higher for those
longer shots.
- The skeletons move slower than the grim reaper guys (for the mitten kitten
missions), but they attack the blox faster and tear through them more quickly.
- If you are having trouble with keeping the ghosts at bay with only a
baseball, just throw as many baseballs as fast as you can.
If anyone else has any more tips, or I come up with some more, I’ll add them
in.
-----------------------
Playing the first time
-----------------------
The first time you play, just select a profile, enter in a name for it, and
chose the blox you want to represent you. The blox doesn’t effect your
profile at all (I think), so just pick whatever one you like. They I
recommend you start with training to learn the basics, and then you can do
what you feel like.
------------
The Blox- TB
------------
Here I'm just going to cover every blox and in the game, explain what they do,
what they look like, and add in what to use them for or something else about
them.
Normal Blox - This looks like a regular, brown, wooden block. They don't do
anything special, and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Usually these
guys are there as parts of the structure, but aren't really anything special.
You don't need to worry about these much.
Immovable/Immobile blox - These things look like regular blox, they're just
a little greyer. They can float in the air, and nothing (and I mean NOTHING)
can make them move. Even gravity is powerless against these mighty blox. These
blox really are there purely to give other blox support. Usually your knocking
blox off of these. They are good for supports in create mode.
Gem Blox - These blox look like a big blue piece of glass to me, but they are
apparently gems of some sort. Usually your trying to get all of these blox to
fall to the ground. Instead of focusing on hitting each one off, try taking
out the supports for whatever is holding them up to get them all to topple.
Point Blox - These yellow blox earn you whatever point amount is on each side
of them. Your usually trying to knock these off, sometimes into a multiplier.
Like the gem blox, you usually want to take out whatever is supporting these
things to get a lot to fall at once.
Minus Point Blox - These greyish blox take away whatever point amount they
have on their side. Try to avoid hitting these things, or whatever is holding
them up so that they don't fall to the ground and cost you some points.
Bomb Blox - A red blox with a picture of a bomb with its fuse lit on each
side. These go off if hit with a thrown object or another explosion sets it
off. I believe that all size bomb blox have the same blast range away from
their point, but larger ones have a larger effect, but still effect the same
range away from where they are. Not sure though, it's mostly theory. These
guys are great for getting things to either fall, or make a lot of blox
scatter.
Chemical Blox - These green blox don't do much until they connect with a
fellow chem blox. Then they pretty much act as bomb blox that have been set
off. You can only get chem blox to explode if they connect with another chem
blox, and that works for only one pair. So you cannot get three chem blox
to all blow each other up.
Vanish Blox - These purple swirly blox dissapear when hit or and explosion
would hit them. They usually cause chain reactions of a sort when they vanish,
so make them dissapear.
Multi-Hit Vanish Blox - These grey, concrete looking blox take three hits
(whether it be from undead, bombs, or baseballs) to dissapear. No more, no
less. These are usually used to try and hold off the undead. If your trying
to knock things off of them, try to make them fall before they dissapear,
unless you have lots of explosives handy.
Fragile Blox - You don't see these blox much. A little doesn't do much to
them, but hit them hard enough and they will break. I see these so rarely,
I would say treat them like a multi-hit vanish blox.
Cloud Blox - These white, sort of transparent blox will float up unless you
weigh them down with something. Usually you can move some blox on top of them
to keep them grounded. They don't show up often, and usually you can just
focus on a few you must keep down.
Ice Blox - These light blue blox let things slip and slide around a lot more.
Anything the would slide a bit now slides a lot. I would say be careful around
these blox. Move the blox you want to move far with hard throws, and those
you want to stay still better not get any momentum, or they'll go far.
Firework Blox - These blox have a picture of a firework on the side, and thats
what they are. If you have an explosion set them off, they will go whichever
way the firework points. These usually are there to be set off for some
reason, so start blowing up anything and everything near them.
Jingle Blox - These blox emit a note when hit, depending on their color. I
don't think you ever encounter them outside of create levels, but go ahead and
let your inner musician use them to make a level with its own tune to it.
Vanish Point blox - These light purple blox will earn you points when hit, and
vanish. Usually you just go right for these blox, and you'll be fine.
Minus Vanish Point Blox - These dark purple blox will make you lost whatever
point value they are assigned when hit
If I forgot/missed any blox, please let me know! Anyway, time for...
--------------
The Characters - TC
--------------
In this section I will describe each characters appearance and what it does.
Sherman Woolington III - A sheep that doesn't really do anything. Usually just
there for decoration for whatever reason. Pretty useless.
Duke of Woolington - An armored sheep that marches towards any Babadoos, which
I'm pretty sure they can't do anything too. If your dealing with these guys,
your probably trying to save them from certain doom.
Bruiser Browning - A bear. He tries to take gem blox, then walk off with them
and burn them. If you want to take care of them, just hit them with some
thrown object and they'll be gone.
Lord Browning - An armored bear that also tries to take any and all gem blox
to the nearest fire to burn them. Beside the fact he has armour, he doesn't
seem any different than the regular Brownings. Get rid of him with some
thrown objects or explosions.
Zero Bandito - A masked little... raccoon? I'm not entirely sure what these
guys are. Anyway, they move fast and also try to grab gem blox and burn them.
Take out these guys first, since they are much more dangerous than a few
of the browning bears.
Sir Babadoo - This armoured monkey will take out any sheep by throwing bowling
balls at them. Save the hopeless sheep by hitting these guys with an explosion
or some weapon you have handy.
Gorilda Gert - This ape looking character will walk towards the baby gerts to
try and get to them. However, it will walk straight towards the babies, often
killing itself unless you save it.
Baby Gert - A baby ape in a diaper. Just sits there waiting for mommy to come.
Doesn't do anything past that.
Mooga - A masked dancing tiki thing that if it gets too close to a gorilda,
makes it vanish. They can be taken care of with the usual throw or explosion.
Booga - A masked dancing tiki that only dances. Poses no threat, just there
for decoration.
Ooga - A maskless tiki guy. Dances around while waving. Again, a harmless
piece of scenery.
Betsy Moo - A cow. Just stands there mooing, not doing anything. Usually you
have to protect these cows from the babadoos. They just stand there, mooing.
Baby Moos - Another cow that is now smaller and in a diaper. They are equally
useless, just sitting there doing absolutely nothing of any consequence.
Boots Beaverton - A mustachioed beaver in a cowboy hat that enjoys blowing up
bomb blox. He can be useful for setting up chain reactions.
Doc Babadoo - This mustachioed monkey in a cowboy hat just throws baseballs
at everyone (usually cows). They usually spawn on little white blow with a
star on them, which if taken care of, takes care of the monkey supply. They
are like every other character--a throw or explosion takes care of them.
Mitten Kittens - These little cats will (slowly) wander towards the nearest
pumpkin blox or gem blox. Your usually trying to protect these helpless little
kittens, so try and take out any of their enemies.
Buster Maguff - This dog will stand in one place throwing baseballs at any
undead creatures. Try to just make sure he doesn't get hurt and let him do his
thing, since he can make your life a lot easier.
Skully McGill - This skeleton will walk towards and try to eat any kittens,
and I think babies too. A hit from anything will make him vanish. Walls will
slow him down, but he tears through them quickly.
Gurgless Grimm - This grim reaper type character will walk towards and destroy
any kittens or (I think) babies. A hit takes him out, and walls slow him down
more since he takes longer to whack at them.
Dante Babadoo - This monkey in a stereotypical demon outfit will throw chem
blox at other chem blox to blow things up, or at any innocent bystanders. Try
to take care of him quickly, or you'll have some big problems.
Biff O' Wiggins - This bear looking guy will throw bomb blox at any nearby
blox. He can cause some damage if you set things up right.
Buckley Beaverton - A beaver that can set off both bomb blox and chem blox.
Pretty much a non-western version of boots beaverton. How he sets off chem
blox remains a mystery.
Dirk Tufftooth - Throws baseballs at everyone. Just an angry bulldog I guess.
You can take him out with throws or explosion, just like everyone else.
Cody P. Schmee - A koala that stands around looking at things. Doesn't do
much. Part of the scenery I guess.
Wrinkles Peasley - An old dog that wanders around the level, slowly. Just part
of the scenery again.
Liberty Poppins - A penguin that lays ice blox instead of eggs. Maybe you can
use those for something... whatever it is, I don't know!
Pendleton Puff - I think this guyu looks like a panda. Anyway, these things
lay cloud blox that will float up for awhile. Maybe you could have the cloud
blox push things into place for you.
Marion McCluck - A chicken that lays bomb blox. If you set off any of those
bombs, you'll likely lose this chicken, but hey, you get to blow things up!
Stinkerton Potts - A skunk that lays chem blox. If you want to keep using
these chem blox, I suggest you blow them up well away from Mr. Stinker here,
or you'll cut off your supply.

Training - TR
---------
Training is just what it sounds like learning how to play the game. The
missions are all very simple, so this should be a quick section. Since I’m
pretty sure you have to get gold medals on every training mission, I will
not have any medal requirements here.
Throw ‘Em
You get to learn the common action of throwing things. Its pretty simple.
Try to practice getting power throws, and just aim your cursor at the gem
blox. I recommend aiming towards at the bottom of the towers, since good hits
there make more gem blox fall. The game measures the Wii-mote speed when you
release A to determine the speed of the throw (I think), so try just
flicking your wrist so you don’t wear out your arm.
See ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Throw ‘Em
Another simple one. Just hold b, and point with the Wiimote to indicate the
direction you want to turn things. You can go up down and around. Once you
look around, hit the point blox off their stands and your done.
Blast ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on See ‘Em
Again, piece of cake. Aim for one of the bomb blox, and throw. I recommend
the big bomb blox, since its easy to hit. Setting off the reaction (hitting
a  bomb blox) will finish this stage, no problem.
Pop ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Blast ‘Em
Another easy one. Just throw a ball at and hit the huge vanish blox and it
will vanish, and you finish the stage.
Match ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Pop ‘Em
This one is pretty simple. Just hit the small chemical blox into the big
one. As long as you don’t hit the small chem. blox really low, it should hit
the big one, and the rest will take care of itself.
Wreck ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Match ‘Em
This is a little different now you grab a blox of your choice, and swing it
around to knock the others. Just grab whatever you like and shake it around.
Personally, I’m no too good at controlling where the things go when I grab
them, so just go crazy. If you want, just drop the blox you have, pick up a
new one, and start wrecking again. This stage should be easy, just clear
everything away.
Pull ‘Em
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Wreck ‘Em
This skill is probably the one that needs steady hands the most (I
personally sort of fail at it). You select a block, and carefully pull it
out by pulling the Wiimote back. Personally, I stink at this, but just pull
the blox out. If if the minus point ones hit the ground, you have to get a
gold medal, so it doesn’t really matter if you do bad or not.
For completing Pull ‘Em, and training mode as a whole, you unlock being able
to use Medieval forest in create mode.
--------
Explore - EM
Unlocked by: Completing training
--------
Well this mode isn’t too bad, though some of the puzzles can be a bit
frustrating at times, since it takes pinpoint precision to get them, I hope
this helps get a gold medal on all of them (if anyone has any alternative
strategies to a level they think are much better, email me (I don’t check it
a ton, but I’ll try to every week or so). If I think your hint is valid (not
just the same thing differently worded), I’ll put it in here and give you
the credit you have earned.
---------
Gem blox - GB
---------
As a note, the * by a medal indicates what medal the strategy I have should
get you. If anyone has a strategy to get a medal higher than the one I have
posted, please email me and let me know.
Warrior
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
This one isn’t too bad. If ever in doubt, aim low (In this game at least).
For this one, take out the warriors waist (where the two legs join, in
between the sword and shield). It should work pretty well no matter how you
hit it (As long as you can get a strong throw if you can’t practice, since
that’s very essential to this game.) If taking out the waist
doesn’t work,
try taking the waist out from behind, which works very well. Just give the
thing some time to collapse never hit some blox you want to collapse if
they’re moving.
Teeter Totter
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Warrior
Bronze: 5 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Rotate around so your looking right at the big blox (as close to it as you
can get), and hit it in near the middle, and it should fall on the wood
blox, tilt it down, and cause all the other gem blox to fall down. This may
take a try or two to get in one throw, since the big blox can not fall
right, and not have all the gem blox fall down.
Golfer
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Teeter Totter
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Rotate the camera so your looking straight at the bigger gem blox, and have
obscured the tower of smaller gem blox, and nail the big gem blox in the
middle. This should knock off all the blox in one shot, they lining up the
shot may be a bit tricky at first.
Tower
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Golfer
Bronze: 6 throws     Silver: 3 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
For this one, rotate the camera so your looking at one of the towers at the
end of the group so the the second to last level blox are straight back away
from you (they should look like their just a square, and don’t extend
back.). Then throw a baseball right at the blox second from the bottom on
the side facing the other blox towers. This should cause all four to fall
like dominoes.
Boulder
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Tower
Bronze: 5 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
For this stage, turn the camera so your looking at the two low and
diagonally. Sort of behind the box of a lot of small gem blox, but not
quites. Then aim for the small square blox underneath the long plank ones
that are like a teeter totter. Try to line up the shot so when you hit the
square blox, it will take out its partner on the other setup. If you
successfully take out both of those, the structures should both collapse.
This shot can be tricky to get right, and it may take a few tries to get
gold for this puzzle.
For completing Boulder, you unlock the bowling ball, which can can use in
create mode now.
Stronger
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Boulder
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
An easy one. Just nail the block of gem blox low and towards the middle of
one side, and it should knock them all off. This one may not work your first
try, since the physics of this game are different by just a bit nearly every
time.
Bowler
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Stronger
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Rather than throw right away, rotate the camera around so that one of the
planks on the side is level to the top of the immovable blox/bottom on the
pins. The nail the plank right about where the second to last row of pins
comes down, and it should knock out all the pins for you.
House of gems
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Bowler
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
I can’t find a specific blox that if removed makes this whole things topple,
but I recommend aiming low and taking out the base parts. I usually make it
so two parts of the base make a V towards me, and aim for the middle of the
V. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This is one level where luck
helps when going for a gold medal.
I didn't come up with this one, it was SithCommando, and it pretty much
guarantees you a gold medal. Now, you see that big gem blox on top? Just below
it is a blox that is longer on one side so it looks like a square, but then it
looks like a rectangle on the other side. Rotate the camera so your level with
this blox, and looking straight at one of the square, bigger sides. Hit it
near the middle as hard as you can, and you should get gold.
Stained Glass
Unlocked by: Get a medal on House of gems
Bronze: 4 throws     Silver: 3 throws     *Gold: 2 throws
On your first throw, aim for one of the bottom corners of the big gem blox.
Then use your second throw to nail the opposite corner (or if the big gem
blox is gone, aim for where the opposite corner would be at the start of the
level), which should cause all five blox to fall out.
FinE Art
Unlocked by: Get a medal on Stained Glass
Bronze: 4 throws     Silver: 3 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Just hit either end of the long bottom plank, and the whole thing should
come crashing down.
For completing the level FinE Art, you unlock being able to use the Cloud
Blox in create mode.
-----------
Point blox - PB
-----------
Remember, a * means that’s the medal the strategy should get you.
Edgy
Bronze: 60 points     Silver: 80 points     *Gold: 100 points
Line up your shots at a point block so your looking right at it, then aim
for the number in its middle and throw. You’ll pretty much need strong
throws to have a hope in this section. Just take out all the point blox on
the side first (I do top to bottom), then take out the two on the higher
level.
In a Pinch
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Edgy
Bronze: 40 points     Silver: 60 points     *Gold: 70 points
Start by diagonally lining up a shot at the blox on top, and hitting them
off. Then look at the long straight point blox on the side diagonally (from
the middle) and aim for the point numbers on their short sides this should
knock them and the blox below them off. If the blox below hang around, then
hit them diagonally too. For the last one, look straight at the long wooden
blox its on, hit that, and the last point blox should tumble down.
Prison Break
Unlocked by: Get a medal in In a Pinch
Bronze: 10 points     Silver: 30 points     *Gold: 40 points
Look through one of the openings opposite the open side, and hit the blox
farther out by knocking them in the middle, top one first. Then do the same
thing for the pair of blox farther from the opening. Precision is key here,
so you don’t accidentally knock down one of the minus point pillars.
Step Down
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Prison Break
Bronze: 10 points     Silver: 30 points     *Gold: 50 points
Work you way from top to bottom here. Just look straight at all the blox,
aim for their number, and hit them top to bottom. When your hitting the
bottom level of point blox, try and hit out the side you hit out second on
the above level first, so that top minus point blox doesn’t slide off on
you.
Break Point
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Step Down
Bronze: 30 points     Silver: 40 points     *Gold: 50 points
Start out by looking right at the top two point blox and knocking them out.
Then do the same for the point blox on the bottom. Once things are stable
again, hit out the two point blox left, looking right at them, one at a
time. Make sure your shots won’t knock them into the minus blox, and
accidentally knock it off.
Plumber
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Break Point
*Bronze: 150 points     Silver: 160 points     Gold: 170 points
This ones a doozy. I don’t have anything step by step (maybe some day when
I’m really really bored), but try to hit the point of the point blox
sticking out, and avoid the minus point blox. When you have a bunch sitting
at the bottom, just knock the point blox with throws from above until they
are a bit on their own, and you can blast them off. After a try or two
bronze shouldn’t be too hard.
For completing Plumber, you unlock the laser, which you can use in create
mode.
Step up again
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Plumber
Bronze: 50 points     Silver: 60 points     *Gold: 70 points
Work your way from top to bottom, and just aim well. Don’t take out too many
blox on one side, or the minus ones will fall and make you lose points.
Quick Draw
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Step up again
Bronze: 700 points     Silver: *900 points     Gold: 1,050 points
Hard to give you any specifics, but just aim right at the front of the blox
as they come along, or you may wind up shooting behind them. As a note, you
don’t have to get every blox to get a gold. I missed a few, got 1,025, but
could’ve probably gotten over 1,100 if I got the two 50’s at the
end. So
just go for the big point blox, and practice.
Cannon Clash
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Quick Draw
Bronze: 1,000 points     Silver: *1,200 points     Gold: 1,500 points
Like Quick Draw, not a lot of specifics. Aim at the front of the blox so you
don’t shoot behind them. Watch for the cannons in the back to shoot out
50’s, and try to nail those. Try and hit as many blox as soon as they
appear, since midair collisions can make a perfect shot not hit anything,
and are just plain annoying for me.
For completing the puzzle Cannon Clash, you unlock the vanish point blox,
which you can use in create mode.

Bomb blox - BB
----------
Remember, a * indicated the medal the strategy should get you.
Minefield
Bronze: 10 points     Silver: 420 points     *Gold: 440 points
Hit one of the bomb blox towers in one of the four corners. The chain
reaction should get you all the point blox except the two in the middle. Use
your last throw to knock down the long, thin blox they’re on, and they
should come tumbling down too.
Bomb Barn
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Minefield
Bronze: 40 points     Silver: 60 points     *Gold: 100 points
You can either throw while looking straight at the point blox on top, or the
regular blox in the corners. If you hit either one with your first throw,
you should see a (or part of) bomb blox. Nail it, and the whole thing should
blow up.
Bomb Push
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Bomb Barn
Bronze: 10 points     Silver: 30 points     *Gold: 70 points
With your first throw, look straight at the regular blox behind the bomb
blox, and hit it, pushing the bomb blox closer to the large box. Then hit
the bomb blox, and the whole thing should get blown up.
Bomb Cascade
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Bomb Push
Bronze: 230 points     Silver: 250 points     *Gold: 270 points
Set it up so your looking at the level from the side. Then hit the little
bomb blox closer to all the point blox at the bottom of the tower of bomb
blox. Once you finish your throw, set up a throw a bit to the left of all
the point blox. When the bomb blox’s fall, hit them in midair. If you
don’t
want to do that, wait until all the bomb bloxs are on the ground, and hit
one, taking out the point blox’s supports.
Sliding Bomb
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Bomb Cascade
Bronze: 150 points     Silver: 180 points     *Gold: 200 points
Look at the whole thing from the side with the bomb blox. Hit the small bomb
blox at the end of the normal blox. When the big bomb blox has slip near the
middle of the remaining point blox (It will keep sliding, so be ready) nail
it and blow away all the point blox.
Flying Bombs
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Sliding Bomb
Bronze: 160 points     Silver: 200 points     *Gold: 210 points
Look at the level so that the little bomb blox and the big tall blox are
near the bottom left. Then hit the little bomb blox holding up the big
regular blox. It will fall, launching the other bomb blox into the air. As
soon as you hit the little bomb blox holding up the big blox, turn the
camera so your looking right at the wall of point blox. Then when the
cluster of bombs is near the middle of the point blox wall, throw, hit one,
and you should get a gold.
More Flying Bombs
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Flying Bombs
Bronze: 360 points     Silver: 400 points     *Gold: 440 points
Just stick with the starting camera angle here. Hit the big bomb blox on the
right. Get a shot ready in the middle of the three things of point blox.
When the bomb blox fly up there, throw and hope you hit one. If you do, the
explosion should take out all of the point blox.
For completing More Flying Bombs, you unlock the Bomb Ball, which you can
now use in create mode.
Bomb Push 2
Unlocked by: Get a medal in More Flying Bombs
Bronze: 80 points     Silver: 160 points     *Gold: 800 points
Easy. Just throw a bomb at the middle of the top of one of the tall point
blox while looking straight at the side. I’m sure there are plenty of other
ways to do this level, but this one works.
Trojan Pony
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Bomb Push 2
Bronze: 20 points     Silver: 90 points     *Gold: 120 points
Turn the camera so your looking diagonally down into the pony’s stomach,
and throw your bomb. The reaction should cause the whole thing to collapse
(or the parts worth points at least). This one may take a couple throws to
get right.
Pile it on
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Trojan Pony
Bronze: 100 points     Silver: 360 points     *Gold: 370 points
Line it up so your looking right at the part below the huge point blox, with
a bunch of little blox’s keeping the long ones up. Then throw a bomb in the
middle of the four little parts, aiming in the middle, at the top of the
upper pair of blox (the bomb will fall down). Then when the bomb is in the
middle of the tower, make it explode with A. It may take a couple tries to
get the timing down.
Weak Wall
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Pile it on
Bronze: 280 Points     Silver: 290 points     *Gold: 300 points.
Look at the wall from above (a birds eye view) and hit the big bomb blox in
the middle, where the two walls meet. If you hit it, you should get all the
points.
For completing Weak Wall, you unlock the use of the Fireworks Blox in create

Haunted Skyscraper
Bronze: 75 points     Silver: 150 points     *Gold: 280 points
Just hit that big purple vanish blox, and all the point blox should come
tumbling out for you.
Wedged in
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Haunted Skyscraper
Bronze: 20 points     Silver: 40 points     *Gold: 90 points
Line it up so your looking at the stack in the middle. Then aim for the seam
between the long thin vanish blox and one square one next to it. Then do the
same on the other side. If you manage to make two vanish blox appear with
either throw, the whole thing should fall down.
Falling bomb
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Wedged in
Bronze: 300 points     Silver: 450 points     *Gold: 600 points
Look at the puzzle from the side. Then take out the vanish blox at the base
of the blox tower with the bomb on top. Then set up a shot near the big
point blox box, and let a throw loose when the bomb blox is getting close.
Your going to have to anticipate where the bomb blox will be, and this may
take a try or two.
Slots
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Falling bomb
Bronze: 600 points     Silver: 800 points     *Gold: 1,080 points
This is an easy one. Just take out each of the purple vanish blocks holding
up the bomb blox, then hit any one of the four to have them all take care of
the point blox.
Towering fries
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Slots
Bronze: 160 points     Silver: 200 points     *Gold: 240 points
This one takes some luck. I’ve got two strategies so far. One is to look
right at the blox on top of one of the two middle towers, and hitting it
right on the edge of the blox, and sending those flying into the two next to
it, and doing that twice. The other is to take out the second from the
bottom blox on one of the side towers so it falls on the middle one, and
have your throw bounce right so it takes out the other tower on the side.
There are videos on youtube for this level, but if anyone finds a more
consistent strategy, please let me know.
For completing Towering fries, you unlock the rubber ball for use in create
mode.
Box car
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Towering fries
Bronze: 60 points     Silver: 90 points     *Gold: 120 points
This one may take some luck too, but just look diagonally into the opening
from the left or right, and aim for the same level as near the top of the
vanish blox. Do that for the other side, and it should work most of the
time.
Upstairs
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Box car
Bronze: 80 points     Silver: 120 points     *Gold: 160 points
This takes some luck too. Just look into the place diagonally and down this
time, so the ball should bounce up to the upper levels. Do that aiming in
each direction, and it should work out fine.
Three flat
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Upstairs
Bronze: 80 points     Silver: 120 points     *Gold: 160 points
This one takes luck too. To get that stack on the top floor, throw it in
from the left and from above. Then for the lower level stacks, throw one in
from the right off the wall right before it drops down, and it should work.
For completing Three flat, you unlock the fragile blox for use in create

Beakers
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Hit the vanishing blox in the middle, and the resulting explosion will take
care of the rest of the level for you.
Momentum
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Beakers
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Look straight at the vanish blox, then hit the seam between the two. The
pair should vanish, causing the explosion that lets you win.
Chem towers
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Momentum
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Look at the puzzle from the side, then hit the blox third from the bottom on
the tall tower that’s closer to the small tower. The two should knock each
other over.
Green punch
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Chem towers
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Look straight at the long row of gem blox with the chem. blox at one end of
the row. Try to have it so you can just see over the row (look right at it).
Then throw right in between the two gem blox on top of the row, and the
resulting moves should set off an effective chain reaction.
Chemical jug
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Green punch
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1throw
Look right at that lone chem. block on a stand, then make it so your looking
at it as low as possible. Aim for where the two wood blox below it meet it,
in the middle. If you launch it right, it should hit the big upper chem.
blox, and drop two chem. blox down on the lower chem. blox.
Kick stand
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Chemical jug
Bronze: 3 throws     Silver: 2 throws     *Gold: 1 throw
Look right at that lone chem. blox on a stand so that you see the stack of
blox holding up the big wood blox. Then hit the chem. blox so it takes out
the support of the big blox, and hits the chem. blox behind that. The rest
of the course should blow itself up.
Reaction
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Kick stand
Bronze: 4 throws     Silver: 3 throws     *Gold: 2 throws
Look right at one of the corner towers, and hit the third from the bottom
chem. blox closer to the middle of the puzzle. This should take out some
towers, then do the same for another corner tower (wherever there are more
towers). This may not work now and then, since you rely on the physics of
the game working for you.
Line up
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Reaction
Bronze: 5 throws     Silver: 4 throws     *Gold: 3 throws
For the first shot, use that 1x1 chem blox by the 3x3 gem blox cube, line it
up so that the wood blox is near the base of the whole structure floating in
the air opposite it. Make sure you hit it near the center. Then use the
chem. blox on top of the tower of gem blox on the cube opposite it. Line it
up so your looking right at the blox, and you can’t see the upper/lower
immobile blox. Aim for the center again. For the last tower of gem blox, use
the 1x1 chem blox below the cube of gem blox you just destroyed. Line it up
so it is a straight line to the chem. blox under the tower as low as the
camera will allow. Hit the center. If you get all these shots right, you get
gold. This one may take a little practice, since precision is key.
For completing Line up, you unlock the use of the fire house in create mode.

Rotate the camera down so your looking straight at the middle of the
structure, then start. Blast side to side on the main wall for a second, the
go for the right tower. Try to aim for the chem. blox in the top left of the
tower so it hits the chem. blox behind it to make it go faster. After that,
spray the middle a bit as needed, and then do the same thing to the tower on
the right. Try to do this as fast as you can, since you only have a few
seconds.
Hose practice
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Chemical rinse
Bronze: 30 points     Silver: 70 points     *Gold: 80 points
Look straight at the blox in the middle, and squirt it near the middle with
the hose. It should take out the main chem. blox in the middle, no problem.
Repeat this with the chem. blox on the side, but aim for the thicker chem.
blox, since those ones hold the points.

This one’s a pain. I can’t give many specifics here. Try and
line up your
shots so you just have to hit the chem. blox in the middle. It’s a lot of
trial and error here of getting the shots just right. Try to just do a quick
spurt to fire each one, and trying the hit the chem. blox once they leave
the podium is usually a waste of hose. Just use short spurts, and try to get
your shots right.
GodTurtle decided to help me out, and came up with some tips for how to
get gold on this level. Thanks to him for coming up with this, because I doubt
I ever would've figured this out.
I'm going to go ahead and just call the block on the "tee" the ball. It's late
and I'm having trouble finding a better word.
1. Short bursts. With the exception of situation "B" (below,) you should be
barely tapping the button. With quick taps I seem to typically use 2 shots.
2. Start with the far left and right corners. If you don't clear them in the
first few shots just restart. It's always best to tackle the hard parts first.
3. Those corner blocks are hardest because the line between the corner blocks
and the ball lies on the ball's edge. No matter how hard you try it isn't
possible to hit the ball exactly on the edge and drive it into the corner
block. It will always go to the left or right. To get around this, drop the
camera all the way down and hit the "ball" on the bottom where it connects
with the tee . If you hit the ball it will either:
A. Shift slightly on the tee. (this is preferred)
B. Fly in the air. (may as well try to make something work)
Depending on the situation:
A. If it shifted slightly on the tee, the edge of "the ball" and the target
are no longer directly in alignment. You can actually line up a shot from
here. It will take a bit of skill, but if you've gotten this far you should be
used to it.
B. Assuming the block is flying within the range of the target, hold down "A"
and try to kick it into your target. You'll burn quite a few shots here, but
with how hard the corner blocks are it is worth the cost.
Green gush

Bronze: 60 points     Silver: 80 points     Gold: 120 points
To get a gold on this one, be looking straight at one of the towers and be
low. Hose down the chem. blox, and wait for the point blox to pop up. When
it does, aim for the bottom of it. Once it starts spinning, as long as your
hitting it low, it should move up and through the 4x point thing. Do this
three times, and your done.
For completing Green gush, you unlock the use of the ice blox on create

Castle grab
Bronze: 0:01 seconds left     Silver: 0:15 seconds left     Gold: 0:23
seconds left
Move the camera so your looking right at a chem. blox. Start and grab it,
and swing it into another chem. blox ASAP. Do this once or twice, and enough
chain reactions should create themselves to make the thing fall apart.
Soft pull
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Castle grab
Bronze: 4 points     Silver: 7 points     Gold: 10 points
Forget about pulling soft. You can pull things out two ways IMO. You either
look right at it if its out on the side and pull it out to the outside, then
let it drop. Then do that for the other side so you work your way to the
middle. Then for the middle ones, look at it from the side, and pull it out.
Pull it out the opposite direction of whichever direction the minus block is
centered (if its towards the right, pull the blox out to the left). Work
this whole thing top to bottom. Once you get the hang of yanking out blox,
its easier.
Simple push
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Soft pull
Bronze: 14 points     *Silver: 26 points     Gold: 34 points
I have yet to gold this one, but here’s my basic strategy. Start at the top
for now. Pull out one corner (start with one with more than one blox), pull
out the opposite corner. Then quickly pull out the other two. Repeat for
each level, getting each corner down to one blox each time. Also, balance
how often you make the cow’s platform tilt a certain way. If you make it
left, left, left, then the cow will fall. If its left, right, left, right,
then the cow will fall less often. Keep deconstructing this thing. If you
pull out well and balance things out right, in theory you can get gold,
though I have yet to do it.
Pinching
Unlocked by: Get a medal in Simple push
Bronze: 40 points     Silver: 50 points     Gold: 70 points
Grab one of the two blox on top and swing it into the other, knocking both
clean off. Then, looking in diagonally, grab that point blox in the middle.
Try to pull it out so that it takes out the other two point blox on one side
with it. Then use your last grab to lift the supporter for the remaining
pair, and bring the two crashing out. This can be tricky to do without
knocking out any minus point blox.

I haven’t done to well on this level yet, so any improved strategies are
welcome. Anyway, stat by removing the four corner pillars that stand up tall
and skinny in the middle, as well as the blox that fall after they’re
removed. The take out the two blox on the edges of the bottom. I personally
look at the from the side, and slide them out. Then start working from the
top down. Take out a blox on the outside then do the opposite side, etc.
However, make it so there’s only one tall pillar when you pull out all the
blox above the tall pillars. Having too many in lets the minus blox fall
of of this one is tricky and likely will take a LOT of practice to get a
gold on.
