Mixed Mode levels are one of the seven level types in Candy Crush Saga. This level type's icon is two separating colours with a white rotation. Mixed Mode levels first appear in Crunchy Castle, the 16th episode, with the first mixed mode level being level 216. Historically, they made their first debut in Level 1688, the third level of Sugar Shrubs (Episode 114) before redesigning.
Mixed levels (or Mixed Mode levels, as is referred to on mobile) are levels with two or more objectives across different level types. They usually occur at higher levels, and there are six forms of mixed levels currently playable. Sugar Crush is like candy order levels and ingredients levels, where remaining moves will become striped candies.
Mixed levels are the most common level type, making up roughly 41.13% of all levels, at 7325 total appearances. The current trend is 6-10 mixed mode levels per episode (with 9 being the most common).
The first form of mixed levels are Jelly-Order levels, originally introduced in level 3807, these are now introduced in the first level of Crunchy Castle, level 216. Formerly, there were Jelly Time levels in the game, but they were all converted into jelly levels during the removal of all timed levels. The second mixed level combination is a combination of Jelly-Ingredient levels, formerly introduced in level 1688, it can now be seen in level 396. A new combination (Order-Ingredients) was originally introduced in Lovely Lot, level 5871, but an impending mass redesign will make the first order-ingredients level level 801. Currently, the first order-ingredient level is level 819. After the release of Rainbow Rapids levels in level 7116, Snowy Suburbs, mixed rapids levels are introduced in level 8421, the opener of Episode 563.
The symbol is a half pink (purple), half blue circle with a swirl in the middle.
Mixed levels used to have their own soundtrack, until the music overhaul of 2022.
Difficulty[]
Mixed Mode levels are the most difficult level types in the game, behind timed levels. Later in the game, nearly impossible mixed levels are more common. The first mixed level ever created, 1688, used to be easy, but it was buffed to very hard.
List of Mixed Mode level types[]
Currently, all mixed levels are combinations of two level types. We have yet to see a three-type mixed level, nor any level with more than three objectives.
- First appearance are upon release. Earlier appearances are due to a mass redesign.

Trivia[]
- There has not been a mixed mode level with more than three objectives.
- At least one new mixed mode combination was released every year from 2016 to 2020:
- 2016: Jelly + Ingredients
- 2017: Timed + Jelly (now removed)
- 2018: Jelly + Candy Order
- 2019: Ingredients + Candy Order
- 2020: Mixed Rainbow Rapids levels
- Before timed levels were removed, Sprinkle Sea was the first episode to have all 6 level types.
- Level 4374 is the first level where both jelly fish and coconut wheels appear at the start.
- It was anticipated that, along with the release of this level, an update would allow jelly fish and coconut wheels to be combined. However, this was not the case.
- Level 2127 used to be the first mixed mode level to have 50 moves but got buffed to have 38 moves. As of January 2024, no 50-move levels exist.
- The unreleased version of level 1931 was thought to be a combination of ingredients levels and candy order levels, and the unreleased version of level 2090 was thought to be a combination of jelly levels and candy order levels. They were released well before the official introduction of these combinations; however, at that time they were glitched.
- Both of these combinations appear in high levels.
- Mixed mode levels only appeared after all Flash-era episode characters had made an appearance.
- The last Flash episode character was the Count, in the 99th episode, Dessert Desert, fifteen episodes before when mixed levels were introduced.
- The number of mixed levels per episode started to increase in 2019.
- The number of mixed levels exceeded ingredients and candy order types in early 2020.
- This level type has had the most level numbers in each episode since the late 4000s (4-8 levels).
- Episode 476 is the first time that the number of other level types (Rainbow Rapids levels) is more than mixed levels and the number of mixed levels is slightly decreased to 4-6 levels in an episode.
- 2021 is the first year since their debut in which no new mixed level combinations were introduced, whether still in the game or not.
Jelly-ingredients levels[]
- If an ingredient is on a jelly square and the square is hit with a special candy the jelly square will be removed.
- On Flash version, this won't happen if a jelly fish appears on the square or if it is hit with a lollipop hammer.
- On HTML5 version, jelly fish can remove jelly behind an ingredient, but a lollipop hammer cannot be used on an ingredient, whether it has jelly behind or not.
- When an ingredient is collected, the jelly that is on the ingredient exit will lose one layer.
- This also happens with chocolate. If an ingredient goes to an exit, the chocolate squares next to the exit will be removed. This does not happen on the HTML5 version.
- On Flash version, even though both jelly fish and coconut wheel boosters can be activated at the start of the level, the jelly fish and coconut wheel still can't be combined.
- On HTML5 version, however, only jelly fish can be used, but not coconut wheel. Because of the end of the Flash version, all further mixed levels will only allow the use of jelly fish.
- The panel which shows objectives will show both jelly and ingredients. According to an old screenshot of level 1688, there were originally going to be two different panels, one for jelly and one for ingredients.
- For the mobile version, while jelly levels and ingredients levels show the objective as "item n / t", in the mixed mode they are just shown as "item n", like in candy order levels.
- On Flash version, if the target requires jelly and cherries, but no hazelnuts, the second slot will be empty.
Jelly-order levels[]
- Jelly-order mixed levels were officially introduced over 2100 levels later than jelly drop down mixed levels.
- Due to redesigning, this is the first combination encountered in the game, which is in level 216.
- For now, there is only one level that has a combination order in jelly-order level (Level 5380).
Order-ingredients levels[]
- Formerly, order-ingredients mixed levels did not allow you to use starting boosters (possibly due to a glitch). This has since been changed.
- Every ingredient-order mixed level requires cherries so far.
- After the introduction of this combination, mixed levels themselves became much more common. They usually appear in one episode even more frequently than jelly levels!
- This type of level always has a big amount of ingredients that need to be collected.
- After introducing this level type, the number of mixed levels in the later episodes has 6-8 levels until rainbow rapid is introduced.
Mixed rainbow rapids levels[]
- While Rainbow Streams can hide jelly, it can still be cleared. The jelly hidden under rainbow streams will not be visible until the stream has disappeared.
- Jelly squares can also be found under rainbow rapid's molds (as seen in level 8427).
- The first rainbow rapids mixed level doesn't allow the use of starting boosters.
- Regular rainbow rapids levels become less common after rainbow rapids mixed levels are introduced.
- Rainbow rapids-ingredients mixed levels mark the first time when the coconut wheel booster can be used outside of regular ingredients levels on HTML5 version.
Jelly time levels[]
- They were the last type of levels ever playable on Flash, all located on the final world for this platform.
- They were only available for a short time on Flash before they were all redesigned into jelly levels, effectively making them HTML5-exclusive from there on.
- Furthermore, the intro is glitched on the Flash version, with the objective displaying as a Jelly Color level, and a glitched objective banner that said "Clear all the jelly in {0} seconds!".
- Jelly time levels were removed along with all timed levels once timed levels were phased out from the game.
- There were only 25 jelly time levels, and only eight were once playable on Flash.
- This will be the only mixed level with a time limit, as it has been agreed that timed levels will not come back.
