How to approach it
The wall is a lantern, widest across its middle rows and tapering above and below. It is 8 rows deep and takes at least 36 hits to clear. 2 bricks need two hits; the tough ones sit in the upper half. 6 metal blocks stand in mirrored pairs; a shot that hits one comes back sooner than you expect. 5 bricks carry capsules: 1 × wide paddle, 1 × three balls, 2 × slow ball and 1 × extra ball. On Normal you get three balls and the standard paddle.
- With this much metal, decide which side each shot goes before it reaches the paddle — the blocks punish a ball sent up the middle.
- Watch the last few bricks: they are usually high and to one side, so start steering towards them a bounce early.
