Level 742

Level 742 is the second level in Marmalade Meadow and the 199th ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 1 hazelnut and 1 cherry and score at least 10,000 points in 35 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * There are 20 move bombs behind liquorice locks.
 * The first three columns have stuck zones.
 * There is a Dead Zone at the bottom of column three (where the 3-layered icing is), so if an ingredient falls there, it is a Game Over unless you use the Free Switch booster.
 * The right side is filled with liquorice swirls, and since they're separated from the board with candies, the liquorice swirls can only be destroyed with special candies.
 * If the liquorice swirls on the right side are destroyed, the last column will spawn 20 move bombs which can be difficult to destroy.
 * The ingredients are worth 20,000 points (2 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 20,000 points), which is more than the one star target score.

Strategy

 * The first ingredient drops at move 20. The second one drops at move 5, regardless of whether or not you've brought down the first ingredient.
 * Try to get the ingredients to fall on the right side and not in any stuck zones. If you can try to get them fall in either the third or fourth column, as you will be required to remove less liquorice in order to clear them.
 * Before the ingredients fall, try to make special candies that will help you bring down them later.
 * Try not to clear any licorice in the last column until you have less than 20 moves left. Twenty-move bombs spawn when you clear it and can be difficult to remove them.
 * Striped candy/wrapped candy combinations are your very helpful when trying to bring down ingredients.

Trivia

 * Bringing the ingredients down gives the player enough points to meet the target score.
 * The 3-star target score is not an even multiple of 5,000, at 159,000 points.
