Courtemanche437's Candy Crush Saga (C437CCS) was Courtemanche437's take on Candy Crush Saga. It featured 940 levels in 62 episodes. Its gameplay was based on the assumption that you have experience with the real game, such as knowing all the level types, how to deal with different blockers, etc. The game also introduced elements not found in the real version of Candy Crush Saga. Lives and tickets in this game were not present whatsoever. This fanon was created on October 28th, 2014 and was discontinued on April 12th, 2023.
Level Types[]
Regular Level Types[]
Courtemanche437's Candy Crush Saga featured every type of level already present in the original game.
Moves Levels[]
In Moves levels, the player is required to reach a certain score within the given move limit. There is usually at least one Moves level per episode, although some later episodes don't have any. This level type is being phased out because of the scoring update in the original Candy Crush Saga, in addition to the creator wanting accurate playable versions of all the levels to be available. The first Moves level is Level 1.
Jelly Levels[]
The most common type in the original game, Jelly levels require you to clear every square of jelly on the board within the available amount of moves with matches or special candies. The first Jelly level was Level 6.
Ingredients Levels[]
Ingredients levels require the player to collect a certain number of cherries, hazelnuts, and/or strawberries located on the board, within the given amount of moves. The first Ingredients level was Level 7.
Timed Levels[]
This type is unique in that players have a specific amount of time to clear these levels as opposed to a number of moves. The time limit can be increased with +5 candies that fall when a certain number of cascades occur. The first Timed level was Level 12.
Candy Order Levels[]
In this type of level, players are required to collect a certain number of candies, special candies, special candy combinations, or blockers within the given move limit. The first Candy Order level was Level 11.
Special Level Types[]
There were also eight special types of levels in this fanon which are not found in Candy Crush Saga.
Honey Levels[]
This was the first of three level level types borrowed from Candy Crush Soda Saga in the fanon. The first Honey level is Level 301, and in this type of level the player is required to free bears from specific honey squares within a certain amount of moves.
Jam Levels[]
The second level type from Candy Crush Soda Saga. It first appeared at Level 406, and in this level type, the player is required to spread jam from certain squares on the board to every other space within a certain amount of moves.
Soda Levels[]
This is the last level type which came from Candy Crush Soda Saga. In this level type, the player is required to collect a certain amount of soda bottles within the given move limit to raise the soda level to the top of the board. The first level of this type was Level 511.
Pipeline Levels[]
Pipeline levels are like Candy Order levels in that the player needs to collect a certain amount of candies or blockers, but in this level type, the orders must be fulfilled in a certain progression, for example, a specific amount of candies, and then a specific amount of blockers. However, Pipeline levels are not limited to just regular candy orders. Ingredients and Jelly can also be asked for in Pipeline levels. The first Pipeline level was Level 751.
Mixed Levels[]
In Mixed levels, the player is required to complete multiple goals in the same level, for example, clearing jelly and bringing down ingredients. While they do in fact appear in the real Candy Crush Saga, C437CCS was planned to include MANY more different combinations of featured types. The first Mixed level was Level 826.
Anti-Order Levels[]
Anti-Order levels are essentially the opposite of Candy Order levels in that the player must use all of their moves while avoiding certain colors of candies, special candies, or blockers. However, there is a tolerance in each Anti-Order level, which is a certain amount of any particular banned element the player can collect before their game will end. For example, if the tolerance is 20 yellow candies, the player can collect 19 yellow candies before the game ends when another yellow candy is collected. Anti-Order levels were planned to be introduced at Level 1061, but C437CCS was discontinued before any levels of this type were made.
Banana Levels[]
Banana levels ask the player to collect a certain number of banana bunches within the given move limit by matching bananas to form banana groups, which then must be matched to form the banana bunches needed to complete the level. Bananas can also be obtained by smashing barrels which take three special candy effects to break. The first Banana level was planned to be Level 1301, but since C437CCS was discontinued, no Banana levels were featured in the fanon.
Jelly Color Levels[]
In this level type, the player must turn all the red jellies on the board into green jellies in the same way as clearing jelly in regular Jelly levels. However, jellies can start as being either color, and green jellies can also be turned back into red jellies. The first Jelly Color level will be Level 1541.

Scoring[]
Each level had three target scores that award a star when they were reached. At least one star was required to be earned in order advance to the next level, otherwise, the level would be failed and the player must try again. Some levels, especially later in the game, would be very hard to pass for this reason. The various methods of scoring were as follows:
Image | Condition | Score |
---|---|---|
Match of 3 candies. | 60 points | |
Match of 4 candies. | 120 points | |
Match of 5 candies. | 200 points | |
N/A | Match of 6 - 9 candies. |
6 candies: 300 points 7 candies: 420 points 8 candies: 560 points 9 candies: 720 points |

Difficulty Ratings[]
The color coding in this fanon was based on the color coding of the Candy Crush Saga Wiki.
None - 0
You are guaranteed to pass these levels. The only way to fail is by pressing the quit button.
Extremely Easy - 1
Levels with this rating are possible to fail, but the player must essentially deliberately go out of their way to do so.
Very Easy - 2
These levels should be able to be completed within very few attempts and pose no threat.
Easy - 3
These levels are slightly harder than Very Easy levels, but should be no problem to complete.
Considerably Easy - 4
These levels can be considered easy, but are generally harder than Easy or Very Easy levels.
Medium - 5
These levels aren't necessarily easy, but they aren't necessarily hard. They are in the middle of the difficulty spectrum.
Considerably Hard - 6
These levels can be considered hard, and might pose some threat to players.
Hard - 7
These levels are objectively difficult to complete, and can cause players to get stuck for some time.
Very Hard - 8
These levels are even tougher than Hard levels, and can take players dozens of attempts to complete.
Insanely Hard - 9
These levels are extremely difficult to pass, and can pose a great threat to players.
Nearly Impossible - 10
Levels with this rating are among the hardest levels that can be passed with legitimate play. It can take hundreds, or even thousands of attempts for a player to pass a Nearly Impossible level. However, these levels are intended to be as minimal as possible.
Variable - As implied.
Levels with this rating are usually luck-based, as sometimes the level can be finished very easily, and other times it can be nearly impossible. These levels are not counted in episode difficulties.
Impossible - ∞
There is no way to pass a level rated Impossible without boosters or cheating. It simply can't be finished through normal gameplay. However, if one ever shows up, it will be redesigned.
Episode Difficulty[]
Formula: (1 x EE + 2 x VE + 3 x Easy + 4 x CE + 5 x Medium + 6 x CH + 7 x Hard + 8 x VH + 9 x IH + 10 x NI) / (Levels in episode - Variable levels)
0 - 1.5 = Extremely Easy
1.5 - 2.5 = Very Easy
2.5 - 3.5 = Easy
3.5 - 4 = Considerably Easy
4 - 4.5 = Medium
4.5 - 5 = Considerably Hard
5 - 6 = Hard
6 - 7 = Very Hard
7 - 8 = Extremely Hard
8 - 10 = Nearly Impossible
Any episode with an impossible level has an infinite mean, and hence it is also impossible.
