Thoughts on puzzle levels?

Might sound weird but of the limited levels that include it what do you think of levels that focus more on trying to figure out how to get some where rather than running head first to the objective? Like my missile puzzles in Christmas x Halloween 2023!

All Star Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Verse 2]
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin
The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
See Smash Mouth Live
Get tickets as low as $47

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(All that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Interlude]
Go for the moon
G-g-g-go for the moon
Go for the moon
Go-go-go for the moon

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shooting stars

[Bridge]
Somebody once asked, "Could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change"
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (Go)
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus]
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

[Outro]
(And all that glitters is gold)
Only shootin' stars break the mold

Smash Mouth’s best known song, with part of its enduring popularity/infamy caused by its inclusion in the opening scene of Shrek. And yet the music video is a tie-in to another film, 1999’s Mystery Men.

On “All Star,” Smash Mouth takes us through the simple, action-oriented philosophy of a dumb but aggressively upbeat narrator.

In the first verse, the narrator establishes himself as dumb. In the pre-chorus, he describes his philosophy of breaking rules, living hedonistically, and embracing action. In the chorus, he recites a mantra of self-encouragement (and self-delusion): “I am capable and will thrive when I take bold chances to pursue superficial goals.” In the second verse, the narrator provides an example of how his jester-like philosophy plays out. In this verse, global warming melts the ice caps, so the narrator simply suggests going swimming.

Of course, despite asserting that he is an “all star” and a “rock star,” he certainly is neither of those things. He is a fool who was (properly) advised that the world would roll him. He is so far from an “all star” that a dumb girl called him a loser. He subscribes to the plainly ill-advised belief that all that glitters is gold. He aspires to be a “shooting star” just to break a mold, unaware that a shooting star is, by its nature, destined to immediately fade out and die. And his response to global warming, while cheerful and resourceful, does nothing to address the problem.

Smash Mouth may have been offering an arch commentary on this quintessentially American (and Californian) philosophy. Maybe they saw some of this narrator in themselves. What is clear, however, is that they have identified this narrator as a loser and idiot, so his philosophy is not to be interpreted as a Smash Mouth lifestyle endorsement. The band’s aim is to present a jolly jester’s worldview, and perhaps comment on the jester himself, but not to advocate that listeners follow this jester. After all, that path leads to delusion, destruction by external environmental factors, and flaming out as quickly as a shooting star.
