Sugar Key


 * This page is about the keys that unlock Sugar Chests. For more on the sugar chests themselves, see the Sugar Chest page.

The Sugar Key is an element that was introduced in the 49th episode, Boneyard Bonanza. They start to appear since level 711 and will always appear along with Sugar Chests.

Properties
Sugar keys are key-shaped candies, which can be swapped, matched, and destroyed like regular candies. However, they can't be combined with any special candies. Sugar keys come in different colours, like a normal candy. Sugar keys can also come out of dispensers, like in Level 714.

The keys come unlock chests that have one to five layers of locks: one lockhole, one crumbled biscuit, and then three layers of icing. Every time a sugar key is destroyed, a layer of lock on all of the chests is removed. When the last layer of a chest is removed, the chest is broken and the content in it is free. The chests can contain a candy (which is sometimes above a jelly square) or an ingredient.

If a Colour Bomb + Striped Candy combo is made, sugar keys of target colour will also become striped candies. In this case, if additional keys can be dispensed, it will happen, otherwise all chests will lose one layer. However, if chocolate eats a key, a layer from all sugar chests will disappear, even if more keys can be dispensed.

After opening all chests, the remaining keys will act as follows:
 * On web version, they become normal candies after end of cascades.
 * On mobile version, they stay and act as normal candies.

During Sugar Crush, any remaining key will disappear before counting remaining moves. If there are chests not opened, this will cause them to lose layers and may release the contents.

Trivia

 * This is one of the elements which is not introduced in Dreamworld, since it has only 665 levels.
 * Sugar Keys appeared in every single episode since their debut, until Siberian Sorbet.
