Colour Bomb (special candy)


 * This page is about the special candy. For the booster, see Colour Bomb (booster).
 * Not to be confused with Candy Bomb.

Colour Bomb is a special candy in Candy Crush Saga. It is formed by matching five candies of the same colour in a row or column. When formed, it gives the player 200 points.

Properties
A Colour Bomb is quite unlike other candies because it can be swapped with any candy on board not captured in a blocker. When swapped with a candy, all of that color on the board will be detonated, and following an update they give lots of points when used.

This special candy is generally quite weak on its own considering how hard it is to make, but when mixed with other special candies, or when the board has only 4 colors, it can create some very big and useful effects.

Trivia

 * It is a chocolate ball with little colored candies stuck to it.
 * Level 202 starts with 19 colour bombs on the board - the most out of any level.
 * Level 400 starts with 14 colour bombs on the board.
 * The Color Bomb is inspired by Australian candy which are called "chocolate freckles"
 * When a Color Bomb is created, it makes a sound similar to that of the start of a level.
 * Many fans of the game have created their own Color Bombs in real life.
 * Combining a Color Bomb with a wrapped or regular candy (options that clear less of the board) scores significantly more points than with a striped candy or another color bomb. The highest scoring method is using one of the first two combos to defuse a candy bomb.
 * In the iOS and Android version, a combination of two colour bombs can destroy Multilayered Meringue completely.
 * Often times, Candy Bomb has been mistakenly called for this. They are in fact opposites in terms of benefits towards this game.
 * Colour Bomb + Striped Candy may be the best combo for clearing things, but for levels that worry about the score only, it is the worst option.
 * In Dreamworld levels it is not advisable to use them against one of the colors on the scale as it will tip over and you will fail the level. Combining it with striped candy would be better. It will not do this all the time, but it will most of the time, but it depends on how much.
 * It is impossible to make a colour bomb if the level has 4 boxes like level 33, 184, etc.
 * In the beta versions, a color bomb was just giving 1000-2000 points.Now it gives you more than 20000 points.For example,if you mix a color bomb with a red candy,and there are 12 red candies it will just give 720 points.Now it gives you 4000-4500 points for 12 red candies.However,Level 297 was harder because of this.
