Here is our strategy for Angry Birds Seasons Ham Dunk All Star Level 4-2. The score in the video below is 127,530. Note, this video below reveals a glitch where the basketball repeatedly bounces through the hoop, obtaining 5,000 points each time.
Badge Alert! – To be eligible for the “Slam Dunk” badge you need to earn at least 163,000 points in this level. Proof in the form of a screenshot is required. Upload your screenshot to your album then leave a comment below while mentioning @admins.
Update: The glitch was fixed after Tropigal Paradise (Seasons v5.1.0). The level was slightly redesigned to prevent the endless hoop.
the glitch works on android?
The glitch is gone on IOS. I am not interested in buying an android to break the average score. Any chance that the average can be recalculated to reflect the scores after the fact???
Unfortunately I need to use power ups to break the average. This is VERY frustrating as the average is incorporating a function which is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Thank you very much
What a horrible level!! Took me 4 days to manage to get 3 stars without the stupid glitch which isn’t happening on my phone. The score required for 3 stars is waaaay too high for the level…
But then…. While I was still irritated with this one, I ended up advancing to 4-9 last night. ANOTHER ONE????
My ultimate nemesis Angry Birds level, Seasons Abra-ca-bacon 2-8 have been dethroned now….
*has* been dethroned
@jaydee replaying old levels. My nemesis is Trick or Treat 2-7
Never mention it to me. Hateful. Hateful. Hateful
Always top of the list. Forever!
@admins I think the glitch worked. Over 2 million points. Can I have the badge?
@luca-montani74 First of all Welcome to the Nest! Your score and image in your album do make you eligible for the badge yes, but it is custom to at least enter the scores of the episode before claiming the badge. So could you do that first and give us a @mention when you are ready?
CC @admins
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be rude, although I understand I was somehow. Anyway on Angry Birds Seasons Ham Dunk Level 4-2 my score was 2647860. Thanks For Your patience. @admins
No need to be sorry @luca-montani74 I can totally understand the overwhelmingness (probably not a word LOL) of the Nest when first signing up. My bad for not explaining about the Leaderboards and scores that need to be entered. In your account menu (click on your name at the top right corner of the page) you will find “my boards”. These are all the available leaderboards here in the Nest, where you can enter your score per level. This way you will be able to see (after refreshing the page) which position your score holds to all the other Nesters that have entered their scores. So to enter your scores for the episode of Ham Dunk, which we would love to see when handing out this badge, just go to the Angry Birds Seasons section and choose the Ham Dunk episode. Just fill out the scores (no Power Up scores, those aren’t allowed in most of the Angry Birds Leaderboards here in the Nest) you have obtained playing the levels in this episode. Note: the levels with a glitch such as these often have a cap on them to keep the competition fair for those that aren’t able to obtain such amazing good scores)
Hope this gets you on your way and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or send a PM!

Thanks @e-star for helping our new member, as I was just about to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
Anyway, @luca-montani74 I’m adding the link to the score screenshot in case anyone else wanted to see it:

To help you get a better understanding of how we do things here in the Nest, you should take a few minutes to read the FAQ page. And of course, if you need help please don’t hesitate to ask!
Never saw such a devotion into a forum. Nice thing really. I’ll read them. Thanks a lot For the advices. Hope my English is not a problem, it’s not my mother Language
Ops it says the score is Too high…please try again… Cannot upload the score… Maybe i will replay the Level without letting the glitch work Too much….let me know….
@luca-montani74 Scores above 163,000 points cannot be entered.
Thats the cap on the scores I was talking about @luca-montani74 . When there is a cap it is mentioned in the post description just like you will see in the post at the top, as @amslimfordy mentioned the cap on this level is 163000.
As for your English, you are doing just fine! Btw English isn’t my native language either I am Dutch :)
Therefore I entered 163000.
I awarded you the badge @luca-montani74 Congratulations!
Hope you will enjoy exploring all the corners of the Nest and keep filling in those leaderboards and compete with your fellow nesters across the world!

Hey @admins! Here’s my screenshots for the Slam Dunk badge.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/partshade/album/picture/13865/
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/partshade/album/picture/13866/
Yes I know the scores are extremely high. I sat there for 15 minutes waiting for it :D.
Finally hit the jackpot 1,003,280 pts – one slam dunk badge please @admins https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/peter-fanning/album/picture/14032/
@peter-fanning just curious… looking at your screenshot, it looks like you have the updated version (stairs on the left side are gone and the platform is underneath the hoop to prevent the infinite bounce) Did you get the glitch before or after updating to the new version with TroPIGal? Just in case other Nesters want to try and obtain the badge in the future. Thanks in advance for any info you can give!
Luckily I managed just before the update @e-star
@admins – in addition to fixing the glitch, they lowered 3-star threshold, so the level can be 3-starred now without the glitch. The threshold is now 90k ( 89k is 2 stars, 90k is 3 stars).
Thanks for the heads up @annach glad to know things are back to normal again, although the bouncing madness was fun to watch :)
@e-star – I see you were able to initiate the glitch for long enough to get a score above 163k. I wasn’t so fortunate. I spent a lot of time on this, but couldn’t get it going. The best I got was 132k, and the glitch part was so short I didn’t really get to enjoy watching it. :) Oh well… I still have the old version of the app on my old iPad, so I might try some more, but I doubt it is going to work.
Here is a strategy for a 3 star. First and second birds exactly as video. Basketball bounces up and rolls backwards for 5000. NO Glitch. Follow trail (white dots) and drop second egg bomb just a smidgen off of same point so second bird accelerates over to hoop on right side. Explode 3rd bird in debris to remove and leaves 10000 on 4th bird.
This created 91730 I USED A SIMILIAR TECHNIGUE ONLY TO SEE HOW HIGH I COULD GET USING POWER UPS. I GOT 112090.
Thank you.
@dronnord Thank you for posting your strategy. Took a while to get the white bird in the right side hoop. Also got lucky with the orange bird when the middle structure opened up. There is hope for three stars with no glitch.
@admins, need to get some clarification on this level.
After the fix of this glitch; would it be correct to say there is no way to possibly score higher of the 163k for slam dunk badge?
I have only gotten 96k so far, cleared everything plus some baskets.
If higher score for top 100 on the leaderboard or to even to get average score is possible, I will continue trying.
But if it is an impossible feat, don’t want to continue to waste time on something that will not happened.
I am guessing this is like the Santa hat glitch? If you missed out, too bad?
Does anyone know what might be the max score for this level without the glitch?
There is no way to score above 133K (the average) now. I believe the highest that was achieved without the glitch is around 105K but even that may have been with an extra slam dunk at the bottom left. Sorry to say it but yes, you missed out.
@diannas That is correct, and the average is higher than it should be due to the high number of scores above 115k. I’d say any score above 115k benefited to some extend from the “anomaly”.
Ty @sal9 and @angrychicken for your quick responses.
I think I will move on and not stay at this level to try to accomplish the impossible.
I does feel unfair, but I know that is how it goes.
Thank you
I never updated because of all the problems reported for iPhone 5 – crashes, app not opening, scores disappearing, etc. the one upside is that I should be able to take advantage of the glitch. I’ve only been trying for about 15 minutes but managed to see about 3-4 extra bounces, giving me a total score just above 100k but only 2 stars. Here’s the problem as I see it – inn order to get three stars in the original (with glitch) release I MUST activate the glitch in order to get three stars. Does anyone know what the original 3 star threshold was? I’m sorry but I just don’t have it in me to read 290 comments. Until Rovio fixes the bigger issues in Seasons I’ll be keeping the old version which clearly has its own good and bad issues. Thanks!
Here is my screenshot for the badge, @admins
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/corntana/album/picture/15856/
The 3 star score is no longer 90,000. I have a score of 101120 and that is only 2 stars. Windows phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scs9MTs78qc
please help
I cant complete this level 100% (mighty basketball)
please help
I don’t think we have a video of the Mighty Basketball for this level, but maybe these comments can help?
Can you calculate you’re actual score by using mighty eagle or mighty ball? If yes please tell me how to do it!
“your”
You can’t. You will just get a feather.
So what about a wakthrough for those of us who can’t trigger the glitch
@admins thanks for not closing this badge, I happened to have version 5.0.0 on my old phone
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/gumby/album/picture/23364/
Many thanks to @admins for not closing the badge, and thanks to Nox and Titanium Backup authors for smoothly letting me downgrade and updrade again my ABS App to get it. Here are the pictures:

@sglouk Congrats on Slam Dunk. Can you explain how Nox and Titanium work. If lengthy maybe in a private message so as not to clutter the walk thru. I would be interested in learning about these.
@gumby
It is not very long to explain and other flingers might be interested in this, so I post it here publicly instead of sending you a private message.
Nox is an Android emulator that works at least on PC (I did not check wether it also works for Mac). I use that one since I got a new laptop as Bluestacks never installed successfully on it. Whichever emulator you have (as long as you can install it, it does not matter), it is simpler if you have an App that upgrades and downgrades any other app in a smooth way. Titanium backup does the job. You need to purchase the full version, I think, as it removes some limitations of the free version, but maybe you can do it with the free version. Since I have the full version, I cannot tell for sure.
Assuming that you have the full version, then you need:
* to save your ABS current version with Titanium backup
* uninstal your current ABS version
* find on the Net the old version you are interested in (5.0.0 for the Slam Dunk badge, but some others are useful, for example to benefit from the Santa hat glitch). I do not post any link here since it may be illegal to put old versions for free on the Internet, however, since you have purchased legally your own version, it is OK, I believe, to fetch an old version.
* install this old version
* use titanium backup to put on your brand new version the data from your previous save (select “data only”, since you want to use old version you just installed with your latest score file you have saved previously)
* play the old version in order to get what you wanted to, and, in this case, purchase the NBA extra levels that are no longer available on current version
* In case you want, save the old version with titanium backup exactly in the same way you did previously (you probably need the full version for this as the free version allows to make only one save per app)
* once you are done, reinstall your current version instead of the old one (app only, this time, NOT data!) with titanium backup
Then, it should be OK. Of course, such procedure can be done only after you saved manually your highscores.lua and settings.lua files, so that you are sure you cannot lose anything.
There are many different versions that seem useful for ABS (I am a newcomer here, so I cannot tell much more), see the thread about levels having become easier or harder with time: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/seasons-just-got-easier/
I hope this can help.
@sglouk thanks, Yes I was wondering because of Santa Hat glitch that I can not achieve. Maybe I will try this.
Another average I’ll never get. I just hope I can get three stars. It is funny watching the bird bounce off the bumpers at the top of the level.
90950/3 That’s one difficult three star threshold. I ended up reversing the 1st and 2nd shots to try and have the first bird bounce back towards the left to create more damage. Won’t be doing this one again anytime soon.
@admins thanks that this badge is still available. Used an old version on PC with an Android emulator.

@anton249
Congratulations, well deserved
@admins
@karen68 @sweetp @admins finally got hold of v5. 0.0 that was workable and got the infinite bounce going for the Slam Dunk badge. Thanks here’s proof of score.

@admins The Leaderboard appears to be down so daily challenge not available. Is it just me?
Hi @steviep147 seems like a few things are not working right today. Guess we’ll just have to wait for a fix.
Was wondering if you know how to retrieve lost progress for Seasons via Facebook disaster?
Can’t help there. I have it on iOS and BlueStacks but they don’t sync anymore. I also lost Space progress on BS after an update to my computer.
Worth a try. Don’t know what is up with Nest today.
@admins @briann FYI Leaderboard is down again
Looks like Rio is popular this time of year. Must admit haven’t been giving the challenge much time lately busy mooching about in Seasons (still haven’t solved Facebook issue).
@admins FYI Leader Board is down again
@steviep147
This happens during the time that a backup is being created. It takes a few minutes, the leaderboards and walkthroughs will become available after that process.
@admins
Thanks Theo. Just bad timing on my part I guess!
@admins The leaderboard has been down for several hours and I’m not sure that it’s just an update?
Anyone got a link to the mighty Eagle walkthrough on this one, can’t find it in ME walkthrough
Hi @ixan57 seeing as it’s you! Did these levels a while back(before I lost progress) and if you bomb the wood just to right and below slingshot with bird one. Then throw mighty basketball to the pig on the top left of boom box. You don’t have to kill it but let the sardine can rest on top next to pig. It’s important that bird one doesn’t move the boom box. It may help if bird one goes through far basket but it’s not a difficult shot. Got 100% pretty much straight away. Hope that helps.
That doesn’t look right does it? If you know how to link videos to the Nest @ixan57 or anyone let me know and I’ll try again.
Video for 100% mighty basketball.

Wonder if you could remove the 2 posts above this one @sweetp @admins. Thanks.
Thanks @BrianN
I made a video which can be found at the top of the page.
