Properties[]
The sugar coat encases elements, just like the liquorice lock and marmalade. Sugar coats encases moveable elements, while keeping the element moveable. It prevents that particular moveable candy from being cleared in case of a match or a special candy effect.
When it's matched with candies with not all of them being encased in sugar coats, one layer is reduced. If all candies are in sugar coats, that will be done several times all at once until one of the candies is out of the sugar coat. This is a technical complication.
Sugar coats will block ingredients and gummi dragons from being collected/released from the board when they are placed in a drop zone. Combos cannot be performed if one of the special candies are encased in sugar coat.
Sugar coat cannons have a unique behaviour, compared to most candy cannons. Firstly, sugar coat cannons can spawn one-layered, two-layered or three-layered sugar coats depending on the level but the symbol on the cannon is always a three-layered sugar coat. Candy cannons that only spawn sugar coats will spawn regular candies encased in the designated sugar coat layer.
Candy cannons that spawn sugar coats along with another element will give one of three possibilities:
- Sugar coats (encasing regular candies) spawn separately from the other element(s) (seen with the ingredient + sugar coat cannon in level 5993).
- Sugar coats that spawn can encase both regular candies and the other element(s) that spawns from the candy cannon (seen with the striped candy + sugar coat cannon in level 5995).
- Sugar coats will always spawn from the cannon encasing the candy cannon's other element(s) (seen with the lucky candy + sugar coat cannon in level 6005).
