How to approach it
The wall is a lantern, widest across its middle rows and tapering above and below. It is 6 rows deep and takes at least 26 hits to clear. 4 bricks need two hits; the tough ones sit in the upper half. 4 metal blocks stand in mirrored pairs; a shot that hits one comes back sooner than you expect. 1 brick carries a capsule: 1 × three balls. On Normal you get three balls and the standard paddle.
- Watch the last few bricks: they are usually high and to one side, so start steering towards them a bounce early.
- The open pattern lets the ball through to the top early. Aim for a gap and let it work behind the wall.
