Now this concept looks familiar:

…It goes BOOOOOM! Not only will the blast destroy targets, but it’ll also cause a chain reaction by using shattered walls and bomb blocks–all of which contributes to you getting a high score!!

Of course, your Target Blast scores contribute to your Global Smash Power, too.
