i must had gotten super lucky, as it took me only 15 or 20 tries to beat this level (i either used up a full set of lives 3 or 4 times, don't remember) and without boosters. it so happened that i got a lot of color bombs that luckily didn't go off due to cascades and i was able to heavily make dents in both the middle and the outer columns with stripes well-positioned or from cascades that enabled a few candies to go into the outer columns before using the color bombs. once i started manually using color bombs, i had like 10 moves left. first one i did was a color bomb + wrapped, which really helped. then i did color bomb + striped, which really helped as i had a lot of candies of the color of the striped at both the top and the bottom and as a result i only had two blockers left, both at the very edge on either side. at this point, i had two color bombs next to each other or i could combine one of them with another striped. after several seconds, i decided to combine it with a striped, as i thought it would be far more successful with all the stripes going off now that i had a very open board. i think i had like 6 moves at this point. then i made 2 useless matches that eventually caused plenty of cascades and get some color bombs to go off and finish off the corner jellies for me and thus complete the level with 4 moves left. super easy to get 3 stars. super hard to finish the level without the jelly fish booster, as most have mentioned.

though it only took me 15-20 tries, i still agree with everyone who says that this is an insanely hard level. insane amount of luck indeed, especially in just 25 moves. this just happened to be an insanely hard level that didn't take me as long as i thought it would. the last time i was really stuck on an insanely hard level (before i finally finished it due to it being nerfed) was the second to last level in the mr. raccoon episode where you needed to get 20 wrapped and 30 stripes. i was never able to beat the first version of that level in my maybe 300 plus attempts on the level, but once it was nerfed it only took me 2 or 3 tries before finally beating it.
