Mixed Mode levels

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 Sugar Shrubs, the 114th episode, with the first mixed mode level being level 1688. Due to a redesign, level 656 is unofficially the first mixed mode level.

Mixed levels (or Mixed Mode levels, as is referred to on mobile) are levels with two or more different objectives. They only occur at very high levels. Currently, there are three types of mixed level, either the player has to clear all the jelly and collect all ingredients, clear all the jelly and collect all orders or collect all ingredients and collect all orders. Sugar Crush is like candy order levels and ingredients levels, where remaining moves will become striped candies.

Mixed levels are the second most common type of levels in Reality, currently make up roughly 39.68% of all levels, at 6549 total appearances, all situated at the high levels.

Previously, a lot of mixed levels were the combination of jelly and ingredients levels. There were formerly jelly and timed levels, but they were converted into jelly levels. The second mixed level combination, a combination of jelly and candy order levels, is introduced in Strawberry Shire, level 3807. A new combination (ingredients and candy order) is introduced in the first level of Lovely Lot.

The icon is a half pink (purple), half blue circle with a swirl in the middle.

Like all level types (except moves levels and candy order levels), it has its own music theme.

Mixed Mode levels are the most difficult level types in the game. They only appear quite far in the game. Only a few Mixed Mode levels are easier than medium. The first mixed level ever created, 1688, used to be easy, but now it is also very hard and hexagonal.

Trivia

A mixed level marked as a hexagon level on Flash version will show as a moves level. However, if the player hovers over the icon, it will change back to the mixed level hexagon icon, like usual.
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. Now the first one is level 2149.
Currently, levels 1750, 1806, 1811, 1880, 1934, 2052, 2130, 2311, 2543, 3516, 4000 and 4353 are the only ones to have a lower difficulty than medium.
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. However, they were not true since those versions were glitched.
- Both of these combinations appear in the very high levels.
This is the last level type on the Flash version.
Mixed mode levels only appeared after all episode characters had made an appearance (Not counting HTML5-exclusive characters). The last episode character was the Count, in the 99th episode, Dessert Desert, fifteen episodes before when mixed levels were introduced.
The number of mixed levels is obviously increased from 2019.
The number of mixed levels exceeded ingredient and candy order types instantly 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.
According to the files, mixed levels with rainbow rapids combination will be introduced in the future.

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 656.
For now, there is only one level 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.
