Courtemanche437's Candy Crush Saga

Courtemanche437's Candy Crush Saga (C437CCS) is Courtemanche437's take on Candy Crush Saga. It currently features 885 levels in 59 episodes. Its gameplay is 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 introduces elements not found in the real version of Candy Crush Saga. Lives and tickets in this game are not present whatsoever. You can play as much as you want without ever having to ask your friends or pay to attempt a level. This fanon was created on October 28th, 2014. 

Level Types

Regular Level Types

Courtemanche437's Candy Crush Saga will feature 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. 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. They are very common in this fanon, with three or four levels per episode on average, and they can also prove to be one of the hardest. The first Jelly level is Level 6.

Ingredients Levels

Ingredients levels require the player to drop a certain number of cherries, hazelnuts, and/or strawberries located on the board, within the given amount of moves. They are also fairly common in this fanon, appearing three times per episode on average, and can prove to be almost as hard as Jelly levels. The first Ingredients level is Level 7.

Timed Levels

Perhaps the easiest type of level. 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. There will typically be at least one Timed level in each episode, though some can contain as many as four. The first Timed level is Level 12. (This level type was removed in the original Candy Crush Saga, but is still prominent in this fanon).

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. There are typically around three Candy Order levels per episode. The first Candy Order level is Level 11.

Special Level Types

There are also eight special types of levels in this fanon which are not found in Candy Crush Saga.

  Honey Levels

This is 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. Honey levels are somewhat common, with typically two or three levels per episode.

Jam Levels

The second level type from Candy Crush Soda Saga. It first appears 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. Jam levels are relatively uncommon, with only one or two levels on average appearing per episode.

Soda Levels

This is the last level type which comes 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 is Level 511. Soda levels are somewhat common, appearing two to three times on average per episode.

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 is 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, only two Mixed level combinations presently appear. In C437CCS, almost any type of level can appear as part of a Mixed level. There are many possible combinations that get gradually introduced throughout the game. The first Mixed level is 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. The first Anti-Order level will be Level 1061.

 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 will be Level 1301.

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 has three target scores that award a star when they are reached. At least one star must be earned to advance to the next level, otherwise, the level is failed and the player must try again. Some levels, especially later in the game, can be very hard to pass for this reason. The various methods of scoring are 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
	Striped candy blast.	60 points x candies removed
	Wrapped candy explosion.	540 points
	Candy bomb defused.	3,000 points
	Coal explosion.	3,000 points
	Candies cleared by color bomb.	Sum of candy values x Number of candies directly affected
	Candies cleared by cake bomb.	100 points
N/A	Cascades	Multiplies all points by the current cascade number (x2, x3, etc.)
	Layer of jelly cleared.	1,000 points
	Ingredient collected.	10,000 points
	Regular candy collected for order.	100 points
	Special candy collected for order.	1,000 points

	Jam space spread.	1,000 points
	Soda bottle popped.	5,000 points

Difficulty Ratings

The color coding in this fanon is based on the old-style 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.

Very Easy - 1

These levels should be able to be completed within very few attempts and pose no threat.

Easy - 2

These levels are slightly harder than Very Easy levels, but should still pose little threat to players.

Considerably Easy - 3

These levels can be considered easy, but are generally harder than Easy or Very Easy levels. 

Medium - 4

These levels aren't necessarily easy, but they aren't necessarily hard. They are in the middle of the difficulty spectrum.

Considerably Hard - 5

These levels can be considered hard, and might pose some threat to players.

Hard - 6

These levels are objectively difficult to complete, and can cause players to get stuck for some time.

Very Hard - 7

These levels are even tougher than Hard levels, and can take players dozens of attempts to complete.

Insanely Hard - 8

These levels are extremely difficult to pass, and can pose a great threat to players. 

Nearly Impossible - 9

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 most likely be nerfed.

Episode Difficulty

Formula: (1 x VE + 2 x Easy + 3 x CE + 4 x Medium + 5 x CH + 6 x Hard + 7 x VH + 8 x IH + 9 x NI) / (Levels in episode - Variable) 

0 - 1.5 = Very Easy 

1.5 - 2 = Easy

2 - 3 = Considerably Easy

3 - 4  = Medium

4 - 4.5 = Considerably Hard

4.5 - 5 = Hard

5 - 6 = Very Hard

6 - 7 = Insanely Hard

7 - 9 = Nearly Impossible

Any episode with an impossible level has an infinite mean, and hence it is also impossible.
