Changes: Candies

Revision as of 03:25, 28 June 2020

Candies are the main item in Candy Crush Saga. Candies come in six colors; match at least three of them with the same color in a line to clear them for points. There are special candies, which are created by forming special configurations, and other special candies that appear on later levels but cannot be created. Each one has its own effect.

Clearing candies in certain positions will also clear blockers, so you can open up the board and make gameplay easier.

Regular candies

These make up most of the game. Get at least 3 candies of the same color in a row to clear them and turn them into points.

The six different colours and shapes are:

Image	Colour	Appearance
	Red	Sausage
	Orange	Lozenge
	Yellow (rare, as 6-colored levels are being phased out)	Teardrop
	Green	Pillow
	Blue	Planet
	Purple	Flower

Special candies

Special Candy	Image	Info
Striped Candy	A vertically striped red candy	Appearance: Horizontal or vertical white stripes on a regular candy. Effect: Clears an entire row or column, depending on the direction of the stripes. Formation: Exactly 4 regular candies in a row. The most common special candy, often created accidentally through cascades. This is the easiest Special Candy to make. If the striped candy results from a horizontal move, the stripes will be horizontal, if it results from a vertical move, they will be vertical, and the result is random during larger cascades. If created directly through a match, the striped candy will appear at the location of the candy you switched and matched, and will have the same direction as the direction of the switch. If striped candies are formed in subsequent cascades, they will replace any one of the matched candies that form the special candy. Vertical striped candies may be useful in ingredient levels if they are in the same column as an ingredient.
Wrapped Candy	A Red Wrapped Candy	Appearance: A regular candy in a same-coloured rectangular wrapper. Effect: Clears the surrounding 8 candies, activates twice. Formation: 5 or 6 regular candies in a T, L, or + shape (or in some cases, any intersecting matches with none being a match of five or more). Only comes out if the formation cannot create a Colour Bomb. If created directly through a match, the wrapped candy will replace the matched candy you switched. If created through cascades, the wrapped candy will replace any one of the candies being cleared to form the special candy.
Colour Bomb	A Colour Bomb	Appearance: A chocolate ball with sprinkles on it. Known as "freckles". Effect: When switched with a regular candy, it will clear all candies of that colour from the board. When switched with a striped candy it will turn all candies of that colour into striped candies and immediately clear each line according to the striped candy's direction. When switched with a wrapped candy, it will remove all candies of that colour from the board. Once the board settles, it will then remove all candies of another colour from the board. When switched with another colour bomb, it will clear all candy on the board. When blown up by a special candy or falling candies, it will remove all candies of one colour. Formation: 5 or more in a row. This will always come out even if a single formation meets the condition of other special candies. If created through a match directly, the Color Bomb will appear at the spot of the switched candy being matched. This means only the central candy of the five cleared candies will be replaced with a Color Bomb. If created during cascades, it will replace any one of the candies being cleared to form the special candy.
Jelly Fish	A blue Jelly Fish candy	Appearance: A candy fish. Colours vary. Effect: When matched etc., creates 3 Jelly Fish that target and eat one random candy each (preferring squares with jelly), activating special candies if they are targeted. Formation: Can only be used as a booster in Jelly Levels. It may appear on the start screen in later levels, or appear in Sugar Crush of Jelly levels, where each move that you have left becomes 3 Fish.
Coconut Wheel	A Coconut Wheel	Appearance: Pink coconut Wheel with a liquorice centre. Effect: When switched with a regular candy, it continues on in that direction, clearing the first candy and converting the first 3 candies to Striped Candies. Once the Roll has finished, the Striped Candies will activate. Formation: Can only be used as a booster in Ingredients Levels. It may appear on the start screen or Mystery Candies in later levels.
Lucky Candy	A blue Lucky Candy	Appearance: A circle candy with a tick in Candy Order levels. Effect: When matched, they turn into a candy which accords to the orders. Formation: Can only be used as a booster in Candy Order Levels. It may appear on the start screen or even spawn naturally or in Candy Cannons in later levels.

Other candies

Candy	Image	Info
Mystery Candy		Appearance: An egg with a question mark on it. Effect: When matched with the same colour, a good or bad outcome may occur. E.g. It can turn into anything from striped candy to a color bomb in marmalade to a blocker. Found in: Level 231 in Chocolate Barn onwards. In some levels, it may spawn naturally or from Candy Cannons.
Chameleon Candy		Appearance: A regular candy with pink aura and a rainbow that sweeps across it every few seconds. Effect: When a move is made, the colour of the candy will change, alternating between two colours. Found in: Level 306 in Savory Shores onwards. Can spawn in certain levels.
Extra Moves Candy (retired)		Appearance: A regular candy with a +3 written on it. Effect: When matched with the same colour, up to 3 moves are added to the move limit. Found in: Level 3779 onwards (formerly).
Extra Time Candy (retired)		Appearance: A glowing, regular candy with a +5 written on it (it does not glow on mobile version). Effect: When matched with the same colour, up to 5 seconds are added to the timer. Formation: Used exclusively in Timed levels, all of which were replaced by other level types in HTML5 version of the game. This leads to the removal of Extra Time Candy from non-Flash versions. A random candy will spawn as an Extra Time candy for every three cascades occurred per move

Trivia

Green and blue candies are the only candies to never be left out of a level.
- Green candies are the only candies to have never been left out throughout the game. However, 3455 was a 1-coloured candy order level, featuring only blue candies. Since it caused infinite cascades due to lack of licorice swirls at the completion of the level, it was changed to a 2-colour level.
- Blue candies also appear in every level. However, on HTML5, they were left out in 289 before they unified the candy colour formation with Flash.
- As two and one colour levels didn't exist at that time, red candies used to appear in every level in old HTML5. Yellow candies didn't appear in ordinary 3-colour levels such as 31 and 587, and on some cases, a 5-colour level like level 146, and a 4-colour level like level 289.
All 5 colour levels exclude yellow candies. Before, the old HTML5 version usually excluded purple candies instead, except on special cases.
All 4 colour levels exclude yellow and red candies. Before, the old HTML5 version usually excluded purple and orange candies instead.
- One exception is old 615, whose colour pattern was red, green, blue and purple.
Only a few levels have less than 4 candy colours. Level 2424 is the first level with just two colors, the minimum possible (except for a few promotional levels). 3455 featured only one colour, but was changed to featuring two colours.
- One of the two-colour levels has an even "Nearly Impossible" difficulty, but no one is lower than "Hard."
In Glazed Grove, Tiffi feeds Freddie up with some red candies.
- In Nocturnal Nuisance, Tiffi uses another red candy to play with Freddie.
A blue candy appears in Marmalade Meadow and is responsible for clogging Boomer's harvesting equipment.
The face of the sunflower in the after story of the 56th episode, Candy Calaboose is replaced by a purple candy. (After the character of this episode has been changed to Benny instead of Mr. Raccoon)
- In Scrumptious Studio, there is a portrait with a yellow candy as the face.
Six-colored levels are absent in the later episodes. A few later levels used to have six-colors but were nerfed (such as level 3059). As of March 2019, nearly all six-coloured levels have been nerfed to five colours. Only fourteen six coloured levels remain in the game. The last six coloured level that was ever released is level 3873, which was later nerfed to 5 colours.
- Currently, the last standard six-coloured level is 2521.
- In later levels, yellow candies can only appear from lucky candies as part of order.
- Yellow candies always use for non-spawning colour candies.
Levels that are described as "x"-coloured levels are levels where "x" candies spawn normally (where "x" is the number of candy colours). It's possible for non-spawning colours to appear in later levels, due to coming out of lucky candies because they are required for the order or because they appear as part of a fixed layout but don't respawn.
Candies in general have the tile map code 002. Fixed candy colours make up the numbers 055 to 060 in the tile map code.
- Red: 055
- Yellow: 056
- Blue: 057
- Green: 058
- Orange: 059
- Purple: 060
Coloured candies are chronologically the first elements to be required for candy orders. Each colour has a separate order number, according to the files.
- Red: 1
- Blue: 2
- Yellow: 3
- Orange: 4
- Purple: 5
- Green: 6
