Our strategy for Golden Beachball level 14 is to fire the first Red bird into the bottom of the top TNT. The resulting destruction is pretty consistent, but hitting the bottom of the TNT usually results in the bird taking out the left palm tree. Fire the second Red bird into the top of the next highest TNT. Again, the destruction itself does not vary much, but this way the Red bird should clear the bottom-right marmoset. As necessary, continue working your way down the ladder with Red birds, or fire them into the level once all the TNT are detonated. The score in the video below is 79,390.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.
After I am done with this level the beach balls just keep bouncing and it won’t end.
It will likely end eventually, so you can either wait (it can take awhile) or try again. This is known to happen occasionally.
i hate this level!!
the bouncing thing make it too hard to get the three stars
/sign
It’s all about randomness here which is always a bad game design…
yes as annoying as it is…if you have the patience…it can help… I let mine keep going for a few minutes and it kept increasing my score..literally almost 1000 points but I finally got impatient and hit restart, lol :)
@AA, it is, well worth the wait!! :)
@sunshine. ‘Ty for tip I was playing over and over and restarting ..then Icame here for help cuz I was just under average.
Read your tip and waited like 5 minutes and got an xtra 1k;)
@kathy, I’m glad I could help!! :)
82790 – four birds, but I can see how luck might only need three.
I like to shoot the first red bird high above the top set of beach balls. The arc usually just clears the palm tree, goes through the sand and takes out the big monkey, the tree, the one hanging from it, and the one under it. Then I shoot for the second from top set of beach balls. The bird might even bounce back and take out the monkey on the lowest platform.
Second bird goes into the second from top TNT to shoot the beach balls across. Without the tree or big monkey to get in the way, you can do a lot of damage. I try to be patient and let the balls bounce as they will – sometimes they’ll bounce back and hit the other TNT box on the very bottom.
Third bird goes into the very top TNT to clear out the top-most monkey and with luck might clear the level.
Fourth bird into the third from top TNT to bat clean up, if needed.
This can be achived with two birds. First hit top tnt and land right on the edge of the platform. The bird will roll and fall onto the trampoline. You want to have the sand block under the plam tree and big marmoset destroyed at this point and the plan tree on the trampoline. The second bird similar shot on the TNT below. If all goes well, one of the ball will hit the triangle sand block at the bottom and the red bird will hit that spot right after bouncing back up to hit the rigt most marmoset. At this point only the bottom marmoset is remaining and with a little luck something will hit it. This is relatively reproducable and lead to a 87-89k score. With more luck one of the big ice ball will fall or something will bounce on the TNT at the bottom leading to more destruction and higher score.
I did it again with my way and increased my score to 86,300 with three birds. I’ll try your way to see what can happen!
Yep, just increased my score to 87,480 … 2 birds … manu malin’s method worked a treat :-)
WTG! @eweber. thanks to you i made it.
Used Manu’s method and got lucky with one bird – thanks Manu!!!!
@magsy79 : confirmed.
I had a great first shot with 47K by slightly touching highest ball, bird did the described job, plus the falling ball activated lowest TNT and somehow the same or another ball even activated second lowest TNT. Top three apes were left, the one next to the palm tree and the very top one and the one left from it.
(screenshot available, can some-one explain how to upload?)
I then went for the top TNT activating the remaining ball. This only cleared two apes, leaving the leftmost alive.
Cleared that one with remaining second highest TNT. 2 birds left.
I should have gone for the second highest TNT with my second bird, maybe I could have finished with 3 birds left for a score around 95-100K.
i got it with 2 birds, top tnt first then the next one down. high score of 118,790.
@Yergin — no offense, but do you have a screenshot of this soore? It is 20K higher than any other score and it seems impossibly high.
I’ll wait for Yergin’s reply before changing anything, but it’s on the radar.
yes i can take a screen shot of it, where can i send it to??.
and no offense taken mate, i posted it as soon as i saw how much higher it was as i surprised myself :-)
got the screenshot, taken from my wife’s camera on her phone since my screen capture wasn’t working, but it clearly shows score and i zoomed out to show the level.
just let me know where to send it to and it’s done! :-)
Here is Yergin’s screenshot.
Thanks AMslimfordy.
2 birds 96030. The 1st shot is exactly like manu described above. The 2nd shot, aim for the sky such that when it falls down, it hits both the 2nd and 3rd tnt in one go. Understandably this is a difficult shot, but the upside is you have many bouncing balls at a given time, and hence a greater chance to score higher.
Nice one HKG. I had tried this shot for a while without success, will have to try some more ;)
Finally got a little time to try this. I only managed it twice so far 91k and 93k. Didn’t got lucky on colateral but definitively good potential.
It did not take me very long before I got 90k using this method and I stopped (because the top score at that time was around 92k) and never came back. It’s only when the discussion on the 118k score that brought me to the scene, and the very first time I played it again, I got 96k (I should thank that guy!). All in all, I think given sufficient number of trials, the top score will be challenged – but for me, there are so many levels that I need to catch up so I probably wouldn’t work on this one in the near future.
I find this shot way easier to pull off than the high shot to the umbrella on rio 6-1.
I stretch the catapult to the max slowly making it a little shorter and release. Added 8k to my score in 1 hour, ty @HKG.
I ended up doing first shot like manu mentions…it’s good to get that palm tree and monkey out of the way, but I chose to go for the third TNT box down with my second bird because when I tried the second one next, it never wants to hit that far right middle monkey right, so with this third tnt instead it hits different and takes out that annoying monkey…third shot to second tnt.
really sorry for being dense folks, but can anyone tell me where to go to actually find this level please? I’m playing the latest version (v1.4.4) but can’t see any Golden Beachballs… There’s the Trophy Room with a beachball but its not this level.
I’m not going daft, am I?
They’re levels you need to unlock. Follow these instructions to learn how to obtain them :)

Duh… I see. If it’s an unlockable then I’ll play through to get it :)
Very sneaky to make something completely invisible.
Thanks @kartflyer (and @birdleader for the original news post!), I thought I was going mad :P
It’s a fantastic AB day today! not only have I got the best-update-ever, I’ve also gained a load of new levels for Rio too! They’ve been sitting there all this time and I missed ‘em! :O
Just keep patience and let the balls bounce… score will automatically increase.
