One strategy for Angry Birds Red’s Mighty Feathers level 24-4 is to toss the Red bird straight ahead into the ice block atop the left tower. The tower will slant and topple, blasting the TNT below. The force should push the Bad Piggies’ contraption rightward into the remaining structure, where the TNT will blow it to smithereens. The score in the video below is 95,430.
If you have a different strategy for completing this level feel free to leave a comment below.
I think the secret to high scores (>95K) is getting the last TNT to explode when the cart hits the left hand structure. Its only happened twice for me out of what seems to be a hundred tries. This means an element of luck, unfortunately.
Anyone else have an insight?
I should watched the video before posting this comment. Sorry for the confusion.
I did it backwards to this video. I crashed the right tower into the TNT, pushing it towards the left and knocking it over. This works consistently if you hit the bottom of the right tower. I tried the video method but couldn’t get it to work consistently. My method usually scores in the low 90K range.

@birdmeister, thank you for sharing, good to hear from a high scorer! I tried it your way, but I can’t get the left TNT to explode. I managed 99k with the video method.
Hit the bottom left corner or the lower part of the angle of the stone triangle on the left tower. Seems that the tnt cart had a bit more speed to hit the right tower. With some shots the Red Bird bounces up and hits the balloon whereby resulting in more speed for the cart to hit the right tower.
Took the strategy post and increased my score from 101,450 to 102, 570 for the Challenge

Do not play the daily challenge much so not sure if I qualify for another credit for a puppy
I worked out two methods, neither like the video here.
1. Fling red over wagon, fire into vertical wood piece near base of right tower — tower collapses left, hits wagon, which rolls into left tower. Like birdmeister describes.
2. Lob red into space between left tower and wagon — before it hits the ground, fire into pad on side of wagon — red bounces into left tower TNT, wagon rolls into right tower.
Now I’ll have to try the video method. I have no idea which of these three has highest potential.
Scored 102,690 using my method #2, the lob.
This is a good method. Thank you. I made a video, it’s only 96k but it gives the strat. It’s here:-

I have tried both methods; the walk-through video and the second strategy of lobbing left tower rebounding off bumper cart.
On the strategy of lobbing, I found hitting the middle bump on the bumper had the best possibility rebounding to hit the left tower TNT. With this method I was able to do 1 bird total destruction just about every try…..but never was able to get over 96k after an hour or so of flinging (I do see that others have), I could not enough debris.
On the walk-through video method, could only get 1 bird total destruction about 1 out of 10 tries (on average). But with this method, occasionally was able to achieves higher scores (over 100k). Including current score 103k. I think this method has more destruction to the first tower and for some reason more destruction from the second tower also.
I didn’t try the other strat of hitting right tower first.
Just my input……. “that is my story and I am sticking to it!” :-)
In 5.0.2 version it’s impossible to rebound on the left tower TNT with the lob strategy. there is a bug .
Same thing in level 9 (24.9).
@mikroll79 The bumper on the TNT cart has certainly lost it’s bounce in the newer version. It is still possible to rebound into the left tower by starting higher and rolling into the tower. Interestingly, the scores seem to be similar on both versions.
@stocktoad yes it’s the same score with this strategy, maybe rovio will fix that next time ( i sent a mail to them)
Wow, how surprising to get a top-score :-)
I used the same method as described by @wrw01 above, and got lucky with the destruction.

@steely59 you had to use these names to get your badge. Never mind, did it for you
Appreciate the help @bernersenn, but I think @admins works just as well :-)
Congrats @steely59. So far I’ve rebounded from 98k to over 104k using similar trajectory. Hitting the lower corner of the top triangle did a little bit but I actually got more points when Red hit just below the top of the triangle and he bounced down and hit the top part of the rubber bumper that gave more momentum to the cart and it bombed the right structure. Still time for more points so back to the game. Tally Ho!
I’ve settled into using the walk-through / @wrw01 method as it seems most promising to me of producing higher scores than the other posted methods.
What I’ve been doing differently is to toss Red backwards to the left of the sling and let him travel a good distance (Yes ~ I mean OFF-screen left) before bringing Red “screaming” back to hit the top of the left tower at maximum speed.
I’m playing around with a few slight differences ~ a higher toss bringing Red back over the top of the sling at a downward angle ~ and a flatter toss bringing Red back under the the sling at an upward angle. The upward angle seems more promising and some of Red’s ricochets are quite forceful and spectacular ~ sometimes ricocheting entirely over the top of the right tower and rolling off-screen right. I’ve also been playing around with the aiming points ~ Red’s high ricochet happens when using the upward approach angle and aiming Red at the top tip of the stone triangle. A lower aiming point to the bottom of the stone triangle usually bounces Red back towards the sling.
Most scores seem to come in at average or slightly higher, but I’ve seen this backward toss variation return a number of scores over 100K including my current 103K using the upward approach angle with the high ricochet.
But I have high hopes of seeing it return a high score in Puppy territory…
Like @steely59, I followed the strategy posted by @wrw01 to increase my score on today’s challenge. Thank you @wrw01! Congratulations on your puppy @ steely59!

@kelani @sweetp
Congrats to you also @lulu2all, great score!
@steely59 & @lulu2all first of all, congrats on your repspective puppies, but I have a question. When aiming the shot, were you aiming almost straight ahead before directing him?
It looks from steely59’s pic that the shot was aimed down a little before hitting or directing to stone triangle.
I can’t tell from your pic lulu2all as to how or where you were aiming, but whatever you did, it worked : -)
Yes I did aim a bit down before directing the bird to the stone triangle. @justpast40. Probably can’t repeat it though ;-)
Hi @justpast40! I aimed slightly down and then redirected Red to the bottom left corner of the stone triangle. But I think there was a lot of luck involved as I haven’t been able to get close to my score again. : )
Tried all day following “wrw01 strat, but aiming slightly upwards hitting down on the stone triangle. Got 103k that way. Then I read theese comments here, and changed the angle. And what do you know! Thanks for the tips @lulu2all and @steely59!

@kelani @sweetp
I guess what matters is how much damage you can do to the left side. What happens on the right is more a matter of luck. Somehow hitting from slightly below generally makes more damage. When I got my best, the score showed 39k as the cart still rolled down towards the right tower.
Anyway, congrats on your puppies @lulu2all and @steely59!
Woo Hoo, a puppy. I could feel it after just missing the last 2 nights (Leaderboard spots #5 & #13,) I thought I was getting close again!
Flinging on iPad, aiming down at about a 45 degree angle to come back up forming about a 90 degree angle is what did it for 105730. Thanks @wrw01 for starting all of this. Lots of destruction between sling & what’s left of cart/contraption definitely contributed to this score. See 2nd pic.
1st pic is puppy proof @kelani & @sweetp & TY @admins for Underdog Bronze Badge, it’s much appreciated

I hope it’s not too late for a few others to benefit from trajectory pic. GL ladies & gents
Ok, I understsnd the need for some comments to “await moderation,” but I’ve NEVER posted anything inappropriate & not just does my above post (awaiting moderation) contain puppy proof pic, it shows the trajectory with a 2nd pic so that perhaps others can benefit before the Challenge is over. If this isn’t approved until after the Challenge ends its meaningless as far as offering help to others with trajectory help for a puppy.
If interested in the angle/trajectory I used for a puppy & Leaderboard #2 spot, look to my Album
Thanks for your replies @steely59 & @lulu2all, without your downward shot confirmation, I don’t know that I would have spent as much time aiming like this.
@justpast40, we’re so sorry about getting the “awaiting moderation” notice. I’ve sent you a PM in regards to this matter. Sorry for the inconvenience!
And congratulations on getting another puppy! Nice flinging.
Thanks for the congrats & taking the time to reply & PM @sweetp, I’ve replied to PM.
I can’t explain why or how but sometimes there are Challenges back to back where I’m so ……. close, but not quite & when that happens I can “feel” a puppy adoption & then it happens. This was 1 of those times.
I used the same strategy as all people that got puppies tonight posted by @wrw01.
@sweetP @kelani here is screenshot for the Underdog https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/aleksch/album/picture/13178/
Thanks @aleksch, and congrats on your new puppy!
What was puppy limit? Do I need to rush with screenshots? @kelani @sweetp
No. I see it now 104,900+. I’m shy by 200. Was initially confusing the 106k as the ORIGINAL high so I ignored it thinking no one had a puppy. Clear now. Oh so close! Good luck tonight, all!
Sorry you got confused @Maiasatara. But you’ll get another puppy next time!
Nothing like cutting it close… I used a more straightforward approach rather than aiming down, & I didn’t activate him, just let Red hit about the middle of the triangle. I had a score of 39k before the cart rolled sown the hill.
Screenshots to follow.
@sweetp are you able to check when my score was entered? I think it posted it just under the wire.
Screenshot if I was in time –

Whew, you did make it within a few seconds @Karen68! Congrats on your new puppy!
@ddcuk 23k higher than the previous top score! Would you care to share your strategy? I have to admit I find the score unbelievable, so I flagged it.
@admins
@ddcuk I now see you have the exact same score in level 24-3, so I take it you simply entered this score on the wrong level by mistake.
@ddcuk, it looks like you made a typo. Could you please correct this? Thank you.
Sorry everybody
Copied level 24-3 by mistake
Corrected it now
Proof in my album.
Does anyone know when you “rocket-shoot” Red straight up in the sky, will he ever come back down?
I tried and he doesn’t seem to return, means he actually went to space!
