For those of you battling to earn all those gold medals in campaign mode, here are a few tips;

Color chaining means that every additional eel hit earns a chain bonus, for example the first green eel hit will earn 100 points, the second 200 points, third 300 points and so on until a max of 11 eels. The order of eel value, in ascending order, is: green, red, blue and yellow. A large bonus is awarded for your longest chain of the most valuable color at the end of the level.

Delay your attack, try to smash as many eels of the same color before changing mallets to smash an eel of another color. This will affect your reaction speed bonus but the color chain score earned will most likely be greater.

Memorize the pattern, a campaign level is the same each time you play it. If you know what is coming next you can determine the order of mallet selection to make your chains longer.

Hope this helps, Happy Smashing!!!
