The Musical Adventure of SneakyMelonPyroDuck

SneakyMelonPyroDuck1 · September 12

Since it is finally a new season… and it is music…

Party! Party! Party!

Rules as always are:

No extra turns
No buying gold
No Hints
Must get to 66 with no lost lives
6 hour sessions, min 1 a day
No friends for lives and such (both as a rule and IRL haha)

Why Thursday though?

So Far

Level 9 again did not have an initial 3 green match that could be done
I closed and opened the app at 51 then played 51 and the Episode Race started correctly
I did the same at 66 and got Come Catch Me. That is pretty nice to have since I have the weak Win Streak
I am this little rodent

Not much interesting outside of something that was a bit of a shock

This board has not had chocolate for awhile for me. Didn't exactly miss it on this one.

Interesting!!! Bringing chocolate back? How very unkinglike. I wonder what else they have tucked up their sleeves.

So this week so far…

Candy Royal and Speed Up showed up at 512. They really need no happen on the same level as speed up disables boosters for the level.
562 used to be booster locked, it is not in my playthrough.
Somewhere between 500-600 my bag upgraded for the first time. Second bag has 1 extra turn.
The rockets as part of Volcanic Panic are objectively useful now. They actually do help.
Level 664 now has 24 turns and level 685 now has 42 turns… hahahaha. I think that was an oops.
I managed to get the min possible gold profit on the 18th. 1 gold at the end of the 6 hours.
I do not have the seasonal background, music nor season mastery. Figured it would show up today but guess not.
Level 790 is… A complete POS. It has no business being like this… Those requirements are nonsense.

@SneakyMelonPyroDuck Lots of insights, thanks!

A few things you mention, before and now:

What the heck is Come Catch Me? Never saw/heard of that before.

I was wondering when Candy Royale activates. Good to know.

What do you mean by rockets re. Volcanic Panic?

omg I can't with that L790. I'll share my experience with it when I reach it!

Come Catch Me - An event where you are intended to "catch" another player. Basically it amounts to you passing 7-8 levels netting about 45 minutes of timed boosters. I only have see it before 200.

Candy Royal - Take with a grain of salt. I have seen it at 501, 504, 512, 525 or something like that as well. I have no clue what the trigger is anymore beyond passing 500.

Volcanic Panic - When it first came out, Volcanic Panic was just the special levels. They added rockets more recently.

This post for the first iteration of the rockets… They were literally only for show and actually did not affect the outcome.

Very interesting, thank you. I sure know now why you said the late 400s were "special". The 500s have been awful as well, so I'm not sure I want to see the 600s now. Let's hope that there are still some good levels left in the 800-1000 range. That USED to be fun.

Yes, you got me wondering what you mean by rockets as well.

Candy Royale showed up for me at level 502 and yes, I'm absolutely livid they made the first level a boosters locked one! The is foul! I failed of course, given that this level is only possible if you use starting boosters. So you have to essentially pay gold bars to even get into the first CandyRoyale. Whoever thought of that!
