Level 418

Level 418 is the eighth level in Soda Swamp and the 177th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 36 double jelly squares and score at least 75,000 points in 25 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * The toffee tornado is the primary annoyance, but the chocolate spawners are also extremely impeding if not controlled.

Strategy

 * Open up the mystery candies as soon as possible and hope for some goodies!
 * Try to match the mystery candies before the tornado destroys them.
 * Combinations are a necessity here due to the move limit, using them in the middle is best. Striped candy + wrapped candy and striped candy + colour bomb combinations are always good for clearing jellies and chocolate, and you could hit the tornado as well.

Getting three stars (for daring players)

 * Difficulty: Very Hard

Reason

 * Six colours make it hard to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 72,000 points (36 double jellies x 2 single jellies per double jelly x 1,000 points per single jelly = 72,000 points). Hence, clearing the jellies alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 128,000 points.
 * The liquorice locks are hard to clear with six candy colours.
 * The chocolate spawners compound the problem of clearing the jellies and the creation of special candies.
 * The toffee tornado will wreck the plans required to create special candies. Furthermore, it will render a square unusable for two moves if they land on a jelly square. This will further reduce the number of moves left for sugar crush.
 * The mystery candies may help or harm the player in earning three stars. Overall, they are not too useful in helping the player to earn three stars. Note: This is provided if the mystery candies are used individually. If used simultaneously, they can cause huge point cascades.
 * 25 moves are limited to create a huge amount of points due to sugar crush. Furthermore, it can limit the number of special candies created via regular matches as most of these moves have to used to clear the blockers and jellies.
