Smugglers’ Plane level 12-13 is very challenging. One strategy is to launch Blu straight ahead at the first vertical stone beam. Ideal he’ll flail enough to knock the entire tower down and to the right, triggering the gas cans then causing a chain reaction popping most of the cages on the bottom. Now fire the orange bird towards the mango hanging down from the chain on the far right. His expansion should detonate the TNT and with a little luck take down the far right tower and all the remaining cages. This one is touch, so stick with it.
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.

114k is 2 stars, while 115k is 3 stars.
Thanks!
Launch Blue at about 60 degrees, aiming for a spot just below fruit on chain at far right. If done correctly, the right half of the level is history due to large explosion. Then aim Orange for midpoint of left tower, essentially a just-above-horizontal shot. Expand at impact and watch rest of level crumble. Two birds left for 20K bonus. Aloha.
Worked perfectly!

haven’t broken the 130k, but your method makes sense. ty
Worked like a charm… 134,100
Got to 132K once. Are there other details that help you get higher than 132?
Cool idea! 133400
Fully confirmed!
Still working this one,but I can see the possibilities.
Works great! Look for at least 52k on first bird to get high sore.
Thanks dude.
Only 127100, but beats average:) ty surfcow…aloha!:)
Worked great, thanks, I was using the conventional blu at front method, but yours is much better! Almost above average in em all now! :)
Started out using this method before I saw any post…glad I was doing what seems to be best strat…I noticed if you keep big blue low upon release just clearing the top triangle at the beginning he seems to do more damage to right structure…
very nice one! Thanks
Thank you surfcow made above avg with your help!
apparently I got real lucky on this board. 2nd try, I did the blue bird to the first stack and it set everything off sending a piece to the right side and imploding the TNT and destroying it all with one bird. 12850
Until I watched the video, I was happy with my score, but now that I see how many people have broken 130k, I have to keep trying. That’s one thing about this site; all the help and tips really keep you motivated! Thanks to everyone for the hints- Now back to the birds :) .
I managed a 1-Birdie by aiming Blu at the wood atop the left structure. With luck, it caused a huge chain reaction and took everything out, putting me above average on this level. A little more luck and some extra collateral damage to get me above 130,000 would’ve been nice. But, I’ll take what I can get. Now to work on surfcow’s method.
Fun to Play this level, My Score just kept going up, uP, UP… 136,630
Awesome Level 12-13
3 birds. Same concept. 118940.
My stragety: 1. Launch Blu into right gasoline. 2. Launch Orange where Blu was supposed to be in original solution(Leftmost Beam of Stone)gets me 125540. Sorry, Big Bro & Yellow Birds!
I have a different strat and it’s worked consistently on this level.
1) Launch Blu towards the chain with the hanging mango, keep at it, every 5 or so times, he’ll demolish everything on that side when the TNT and gas cans explode.
2) Launch Orange Bird straight ahead towards the top part of the cement blocks and upon contact, expand him, he’ll push everything to the other side and demolish everything as well.
when doing the video, if you don’t get the tower to fall when Orange hits…launch Big Bro at about a fifty degree vertical angle. if he hits the steps on the corner, he will bounce up and knock it over….got me 119.610 and three stars.
