Level 5000

United States

Difficulty

 * 14 red candies and a lot of candy bombs are required to complete the level.
 * The board is restricted at the start, due to the three-layered waffles, candy cane fences, candy cane curls and chested liquorice swirls, but you already can combine a color bomb + UFO.
 * The red candies are encased in sugar chests + crystal candies.
 * However, there are 4 colors, wrapped + striped + color bomb + sugar key cannons to help you and there are 40 moves, which is somewhat high.
 * The orders are worth 6,400 points, which is more than the 1-star target score.

Strategy

 * Combine a colour bomb with a UFO, then wait until all 5 sugar keys spawn, but don't waste too many moves because there are 40.
 * Focus on getting candy bombs and sugar keys.

Trivia

 * This is the 50th milestone level in the game.
 * This is the 5,000th Reality level.
 * This is the second multiple of 1000 to be an episode finale. The first one is level 2000.
 * This is the first level to officially introduce a four item candy cannon since level 4527.
 * The bottom shape forms a "5K" to celebrate 5000 levels, much like Level 4000 with "4K", Level 3000 with "3K", Level 2000 with "2K", and Level 1000 with "1K" (formerly a green "M" shape before its redesign).
 * This is the first candy order level in the 5000's.
 * This is also the 4th candy order level to be in the exact thousand, like Level 1000, Level 2000, and Level 3000. However, the exception is Level 4000, because it is a mixed jelly-order level.
 * The bombs have 50 moves, a reference to that fact that it is the 50th milestone level in the entire game. In practice, these bombs are harmless.
 * Some people thought that this level would have been the final level of Reality, due to the fact that the episode finale ends in x000.
 * Upon completion of this level, the player will be rewarded with boosters.
 * This is one of the levels with only one colour at the start.
