Conveyor Belt



The Conveyor belt, also known as the Travelator, is a unique type of teleporter. Conveyor belts are first seen in the 37th episode, Sticky Savannah, and the first level with conveyor belts is Level 531.

Properties
The conveyor belt can be seen as another type of teleporter (vertical or horizontal). It can be seen as a row or column of arrows pointing in the same direction with tunnels (pink or green) at either end. The tunnels are linked to each other so when a candy exits through one tunnel, it will appear through the other tunnel on the opposite side of the row or column or on one of the sides of another conveyor belt to form a conveyor belt system. After every move, the candies on the conveyor belt will move one space in the direction of the arrows. This can set off new cascades, especially on levels with fewer colors. Chocolate cannot cover candies on a conveyor belt, and the only negative outcomes that can come out of Mystery Candy opened on a belt are licorice and bombs.

Upon reaching Level 561, conveyor belts are able to turn corners for the first time. Before then, every conveyor belt can only go in a straight line.

In the old version of levels 583 and 584, the conveyor belts don't have teleporters at each end. When a candy reaches the end of the belt, it just sits there and any candy pushed onto it afterwards disappears. In level 583 especially, this causes some pretty strange occurrences, where 2 belts without teleporters moving towards each other meet and push 2 candies simultaneously onto the same square, in which case the disappearing candy is random.

Trivia

 * The Conveyor Belt is the first new element to be introduced since the much hated Toffee Tornado in the 29th episode, Soda Swamp.
 * This is also the first new element in eight months.
 * This is another kind of Teleporter.
 * The Conveyor Belt is very different to the normal Teleporter in Easter Bunny Hills and the other upper levels which make this very difficult to deal with.
 * Level 535 is the first level that allows candies to move against gravity, as the third column has a conveyor belt that moves upward.
 * It has appeared in the first 60 and 73 of the first 75 levels since its introduction, but not at all in Cereal Sea.
 * The Conveyor Belt, although it may harbor some of these characteristics, is not a Blocker.
 * The Conveyor Belt is possibly made out of liquorice. If so, this is the fifth item in the game to contain liquorice, the others being the Liquorice Lock, Liquorice Swirl, Coconut Wheel, and the episode Liquorice Tower.
 * If a Candy Bomb's count reaches 0, it will show the exploding screen before the conveyor belt moves. So the conveyor belt's move is supposed to destroy the bomb, it will not. UPDATE: The conveyor belt will move, but no cascades will occur.
 * With the reappearance of Timed Levels in Cereal Sea, it is the only element to not appear in one.
