Hello there, I'm PowerCrusher04 and I'm just another editor in this wiki. I also play candy crush saga a lot (Obviously haha). If you want to know my story/experience of candy crushing better, you can explore my profile page below. I hope you have a great time on the wiki!

Levels I find difficult
(Please keep in mind that some of the levels mentioned below have been nerfed since I played them)

My Top 5 Background Music In The Game
This top 5 is based on music that plays in the background when you play levels of a certain level type. Keep in mind I'm taking about the music in Flash version. The level type which has the same background music in HTML5 is indicated in the brackets.
 * 1) Mixed levels (Same in HTML5)
 * 2) Timed levels (Ingredients levels)
 * 3) Candy Order levels (Timed levels)
 * 4) Ingredients levels (Jelly levels)
 * 5) Jelly levels and Moves levels (Candy Order levels and Moves levels)

My Story
So by digging through my Facebook activity, I found out that I started playing this game on May 20th, 2013. I was 8 and a half years old at the time. I didn't like it at first because of the graphics, also because it was getting popular to the point where I thought it would overshadow Bubble Witch Saga, my favorite game at the time (I don't know, ask my 8-year-old self why that was a valid reason lol), but it gradually clicked to me, took me long enough tho.

The first definitively hard level I encountered was level 70. OH BOY it was a nightmare! I kept making striped candies, but they just couldn't handle all that chocolate and it was even worse when I accidentally opened the locks and the chocolate took over half of the board. It took me months, I lost interest for a while, until I finally completed it. Took me a few too many months.

I got stuck on 147 for a little while too, but I got lucky and it didn't take me too long.

Discovering all these new elements was really interesting for me. That's what kept me motivated for a little while. Speaking of discovering new elements, around that time I found some very nice YouTube videos. They were called Obstacle Sampler I, II and III. They were made by Courtemanche437, who I became a big fan of. I also adored his video of 252, a level which I really looked forward to after that. When I reached it, I had lots of fun.

DECEMBER 12, 2014 - That, my friends, is a cursed date. On that day, I first encountered level 305. Everything about the level was nightmarish: Six colors, the ultra-thick icings, the peninsulas, the stupid mystery candies that kept giving me more icings...words cannot describe how awful it was. I completely lost any sort of motivation. It felt like the end. I felt like I would never pass the level, but for some reason, I kept fighting. And after over a hundred tries, I finally passed the level on July 21st, 2015 (If my FB activity log isn't lying to me, other possible date: May 29th, 2015).

After completing 305, I really needed something new and fun. 306 was really nice, it introduced me to chameleon candies, but it went back to hell with 307, which I was stuck for most of the rest of 2015. It wasn't that hard tho, I just didn't have the motivation to go through another hard level. Then I passed it one day.

The next definitively hard level I encountered was 323. It took me like 50 tries and I what kept me motivated was....music on YouTube, so I guess I have fonder memories of this one.

It only took me 9 days to complete 350, and I passed it on New Year's eve. That was a nice way to end off 2015.

Then we reach 2016, when things really started to pick up. When the year started, I was on Fudge Islands. By the time the year had ended, I was on Truffle Terrace.

I knew about toffee tornadoes prior to reaching 411 via YouTube, I was excited when I reached said level, I played it, and realized that there were no toffee tornadoes and I was like, "bruh".

I also knew about the notorious difficulty of 461 before I encountered it, because one of my FB friends had been stuck on it for months. So I selected every booster I had, and I won first try.

Around this time, I wanted to find a source that would warn me about potential hard levels, so that I threw the right boosters at it. And that led to me discovering this wiki. My memories of that are pretty foggy, but I found it to be pretty nice.

The hardest thing I encountered in the 400s was 491, but since I don't have memories of getting really mad with it, it probably wasn't all that hard.

500 was a nice level for me, and it didn't take me that long either, reached it on April 28th, and only took a couple of days.

I remember scrolling all the way up to Sour Salon, the final episode at the time, for the first time back in 2014 and thinking "OMG imagine when I complete all that...if I even manage to do so". That became reality on May 6th, 2016, when I completed level 530. I felt like I had accomplished something. It was huge milestone to me even though there were obviously more levels after that by the time I had reached it.

Then I was introduced to conveyor belts, candy frogs, the famous 666, sugar chests, UFOs, and that's kinda all that happened during 2016.

2017 started off with me visiting the wiki more frequently. Before that I had been visiting it every few months. I realized just how behind I was, Truffle Terrace really slowed me down, hard episode. I didn't know anything about making an account, and all I saw in the pages that explained all that was some random blah blah blah.

On March 8th, 2017, I realized that I could edit this wiki as an IP. I was really excited and edited a LOT. The first person who made contact with me was Jacob5664, whose message I didn't notice until 2 months later. Shame that he retired, I never got to properly talk to him.

I freaked out that Courtemanche437 was on the wiki as I was a big fan of his. I first made contact with him at the end of May 2017, but it was quite brief, it wasn't even a conversation.

Speaking of May 2017, I remember that huge red banner that popped up after May 17th notifying us about the removal of Dreamworld. It was quite unexpected to me, I kinda wanted to continue playing that realm, but I wasn't all that sad considering Dreamworld levels were somewhat hellish to me.

I finally figured out how to make an account and actually made one on June 12th. I made a LOT of edits during the first few days. MULLIGANACEOUS noticed this and then became the first person to have a full-on conversation with me on live chat. Courtemanche437 joined the same chat later on and really liked me, he thought of me as a cool guy which really made me really happy. We went on to become great friends.

Around this time, Discord rolled into the wiki, which made communicating much easier. Leo made the first ever server for this wiki just a few days after I had a conversation with him for the first time, and he happily welcomed me as well. Despite being a revolutionary feature, the first server was extremely controversial (It even affected me, I don't want to get into details though), so it was shut down in Mid-September of the same year. The second one (The "official" one as some would call it) opened up soon after, made by none other than the wiki's founder himself, Lefty. It became highly successful and it's still up and running to this day.

I reached level 2000 on July 30th, 2017. I freaked out, it was a HUGE milestone for me. I even took some snapshots of it and uploaded it to the wiki's server.

I became a rollback in early August 2017. I was nominated by HM100 just after I reached 1,000 edits. That was the moment I realized I had seriously accomplished something on this wiki for the first time. It was amazing.

Just to clarify, yes, I got some serious depression during Q4 of 2017, which led to me having conflicts with certain users, but that was all settled by March 2018.

Around this time, I also opened up my own server. People really liked it, but after a few months it was left with only one function: Being practically dead.

At the end of September 2017, our one and only Leftinator introduced me to Steven Universe. Well, I had known about that show's existence prior to that, but I had thought that it was a boring cartoon about a boy numb to reality who has three Barbie type of sisters (Funny enough, Nicki Minaj did actually voice one of the side characters wink wink). But Lefty changed my view of it, he told me it was about different types of problems in our society, some of which I could even relate to, so I started watching it, and after watching 10 episodes, I fell in love with it. I remember semi-binge watch it because I was so desperate to get to the latest episode (Which was "Lars' head" at the time if you're wondering hehe), and I completed watching it in like 3 weeks. It's one of my favorite cartoons to this day.

The Flash version of CCS ended on October 4th, 2017 (My birthday :/ yikes). The new HTML5 design of the map looked like a downgrade and to this day it looks like they're trying to turn this game into PERFECTION, yet they're only turning it into an overcooked dish.

I hit 2000 edits on December 5th, 2017. Another big milestone for me, yay ^_^

Here comes 2018, a bittersweet year, yet the complete opposite of 2017: A wonderful year for my own experience of everything, but a rather rough year for the wiki.

Jelly-timed levels were removed on January 17th, 2018. They barely even existed, they were introduced in September 2017 and I never got to experience them, shame :(

But that was only the beginning. Then they started eating up timed levels in February 2018. A shocking sight to see some of the most fun levels get converted into moves levels and jelly levels (As if we needed more smh), just because some short-tempered players moaned on King care. March saw part 2 of this mess, the fan-favourite level 252 was redesigned, it was now a moves level, along with a whole bunch of other levels. April was by far the hardest part of this fiasco, all remaining levels that were originally timed levels were now converted into moves levels. Only one timed level was left, level 18, which wasn't even a timed level originally - they decided to redesign it just because. But it was clear that it would go back to being a jelly level, sooner or later. That day finally came and on May 2nd, 2018. That day is considered to be the day that timed levels were officially removed from the game.

I didn't do that much on the wiki in the first half of 2018, as my interest was mostly on the Candy Crush Jelly wiki, but I eventually gave up on that wiki. I feel like there's nothing that can revive it.

But oh boy, after July 8th I caught some FIRE. I hit 3K the very next day (Well it was due to me reverting a vandal's edits, but still), then 3,500 on the 12th and 4K on the 14th. I honestly had nothing else to do XD. Me going on vacation did slow me down, but still, I hit 4,500 on September 4th.

I hit level 3000 on August 6th, 2018. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that easy, it took me 5 tries. But at least it was fun unlike 4000.

Unfortunately, Leo retired on August 27th because of some toxic users just draining his motivation, which was also a spillover of the controversy of the first server, my god >_< However, we've been chatting in our DM since then on Discord about various things, friendships never end :) (Also this retirement didn't last forever as you'll see below)

In mid-September I became friends....I mean....SOULMATES with Sam. I had known him prior to this but we discovered SO MANY SIMILARITIES that we became GREAT friends.

Speaking of mid-September, I hit 5K edits on September 10th and 6K on the 22nd. Those were also important milestones to me.

I was promoted to Admin on September 12th, this time I was nominated by Primetime. Shocking just how far I'd come in a YEAR.

Going back to gameplay itself, I also picked up some speed there too, maybe from Sam haha. For the first time ever, I was at THE END (3890) of the game in late October and early November 2018. That did not last too long as King decided to start releasing 2 episodes EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. And people thought an episode per week was too long. But hey, at least I reached the rather boring milestone of level 4000 on December 15th. Also, another thing about the game....

...October saw the rain of selective redesigns, 1006 levels were affected....then they threw the word "selective" out of the window and on November 6th 2018, all redesigns became official...yeah...all 1006 of them...left quite a mark on the wiki.

Another retirement: Primetime retired on November 11th, however, just like Leo, I talk to him in our DM every now and then about life, about the power of going forward no matter what happens. I gotta say, everybody needs someone like Prime and Sam, these types of people are always there for you. Prime is all about feelings and life, and Sam is just like my mirror: we have roughly the same flaws and rougly the same good parts, we help each other out all the time.

The next milestone on the wiki, 7K, came along on December 13th. It's also worth noting that my percentage of mainspace edits jumped up from 65% to 85% between 2K and 7K edits.

Then 8K rolled around on December 28th. Another great milestone.

Leo returned on December 31st, although I didn't know until January 2nd. Starting off 2019 in a powerful way am I right?! Of course he wasn't let into the server, nor did he want to, actually. I don't blame him either.

The holidays sped up the process of reaching 10K edits. I hit 9K on January 15th, and then the big one - 10K - on January 18th. Reaching that milestone was quite a ride and I want to thank everyone who has helped me, supported me and befriended me during all this time, but the journey goes on...

After I suffered a month and a half of endless homework (Although that's also my fault since I like listening to music while I do my homework), I hit 11K on March 4th, in the midst of the March holidays.

I reached 10K mainspace edits on March 22nd, so that's that, also that was the first day of 2019 that I added new level ratings (Not counting redesigns), took me long enough....

After the practically dead month of April 2019 I came back in May to fill in all the missing info, update all the difficulties (There was a whole new set of levels to be rated), and just improve the wiki. I finally reached 12K on June 13th, I wanted that to happen on the previous day to coincide with my 2nd anniversary on the wiki but EXAAAAMSSS.

Spring 2019 saw new users rising to top ranks. Users such as Tohikiho and Timhung took up some of, if not all, the jobs of the now retired and/or inactive admins and moderators. I appreciate that.

The milestones of 13K and 14K edits came soon enough, on June 21st and July 4th 2019 respectively, as my lengthy "task" of updating the info kept going.

IT'S THE BIG ONE!!! July 2019 saw less activity on the wiki than usual due to me going on vacation, so my main focus was progressing in the game itself. And it went quite well. I reached the grand milestone of level 5000 on July 21st. Soon after I found myself on the last level once again (5045), on July 23rd. On one hand I was happy I had reached what I wanted. On the other hand, I was kinda left with a feeling that I had wasted a lot of my life lol - 5000 levels is just TOO MUCH if you ask me.

Despite certain things working against me, my edit count continued to go up at a consistent speed, with a new milestone coming every month (15K - August 11th, 16K - September 10th, 17K - October 19th), this was due to my motivation to finish up this long project of reviewing the level info in episode pages - a project that dragged on for WAAAYY too long (Plus I wanted to work on/review/edit other things), although it was a big project, I'll say that. The core part of the project ended on October 13th 2019, and I was so happy that it was over. There were still some things in those episodes that still needed cleaning up (If I reviewed them too this project would take even longer to finish, which I didn't want) and I do plan on doing so, but for now, it's not that big of a concern.

King decided to suck even more souls from CCS players, now releasing 45 levels per week instead of 30. To my surprise, a lot of players saw this as a positive turn. However, certain polls in King Care prove that more players want 30 levels per week instead of 45, and I agree. Never thought I'd be supporting 30 levels a week (I thought that was too much, but boy I didn't know what was coming lol). I lost my motivation and now I'm a few hundred levels from the end.

My current plan on the wiki, besides monitoring the level info in newer episode pages that have their levels constantly redesigned, is to work with Primetime (Who returned in August 2019) to review the details that are more than minor in each level page. It's going to be a yet another long project, but the outcome will be great.
