Level 38

Level 38 is the third level in Chocolate Mountains and the twentieth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 40 single jelly squares and score at least 40,000 points in 35 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * There are a lot of liquorice locks and icing that limit the space on the board.
 * You don't have many moves to open the board. Liquorice locks are much more difficult to clear than icings.

Strategy

 * The best way to complete this level is to make colour bomb + striped candy combinations.
 * Try to make wrapped candy + striped candy combinations. After this, clearing the rest of the jelly is quite easy.

Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)

 * Difficulty: Considerably easy

Reason

 * Five colours make it easy to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 40,000 points (40 single jellies × 1,000 points per single jelly = 40,000 points). Hence, clearing the jellies alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 110,000 points.
 * There are plenty of liquorice locks and icing, causing the player to spend a good number of moves to clear them.
 * The positions of the jellies make it hard to sustain huge point cascades.
 * The board is open with 81 spaces. Hence, creation of special candies and cascades are easy once most of the blockers are cleared.
 * 35 moves are limited to earn 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 be used to clear the blockers and jellies.

Trivia

 * Clearing the jellies gives the player enough points to meet the target score.
