Rainbow rapid mold (as known as Rainbow rapid collector, or simply Mold) is one of the elements in Candy Crush Saga. It constitutes the final portion where rainbows flow in Rainbow Rapids levels. It is introduced in level 7116, the opener of Snowy Suburbs.
Properties[]
The Rainbow Rapid mold is immovable and takes up one tile, and no other candies may take its spot, just like blockers. Once a clear path is formed between a rainbow cannon to the mold, a rainbow candy is manufactured, and the blocker is removed from the board.
Rainbows must reach the mold to make rainbow candies. To make the rainbow rapids reach the mold, you must clear all the blockers blocking the path. Blockers (except for crystal candies and candy bombs) can stop the flow of the rainbow rapids.
Once the rainbow rapids have reached the mold, the mold will fill up and produce a rainbow candy, which is then automatically collected. The rainbow rapids then disappear, along with its corresponding cannon and path.
Currently, the rainbow rapid mold cannot be encased in any encasing blockers. Assuming that it could be encased, the mold would need to be unlocked before the rainbow could fill it up.
Trivia[]
The rainbow rapid's mold has the tilemap code 156.
This is the second destructible blocker that can't be cleared through regular means. It can only be cleared by the rainbow rapids reaching it.
Up until 1.182, the rainbow rapid's mold could have candies underneath it that would be revealed when it was removed. After 1.182 this no longer applies; rainbow rapid's molds no longer hide candies underneath them. However, jelly can be hidden underneath rainbow rapid's molds, as seen in level 8427.
The blocker is likely based on real-life jelly molds.
For over four years, this was the only blocker that takes up one tile that had yet to be encased by encasing blockers (discounting being enclosed by candy cane/liquorice curls). This may be because King said they wanted the start and end points of the rainbow rapids always visible. However, as shown by custom-made levels, it is entirely possible to have rainbow rapids molds in encasing blockers, and the encasing blockers will behave the exact same way they normally do. However, Level 17738 features rainbow rapids molds in order locks, Level 18547 features rainbow rapids molds in sugar chests, and Level 18678 features rainbow rapids molds in skull pedestals.
