Hello! It's now 2025 right? Did you know? The Diorama maps are 5 years ago (May 2020 is the last update before the game completely changes)? OG players only know this. Those are golden eras. At this point, I'm still playing the old version with no problem so far π
I'm sorry also for the buttons below each screenshot and the blank space above; that's the display though in Android version.
Screenshot 1 characteristics:
π© Levels color: Easy = blue, Hard = purple, Super Hard = gradient of orange and red, Ultra Hard = gradient of purple, black, and red
π© The Batula though (sleeping)
π©These rainbow arches above levels indicate the rainbow streak (the 5 bottles) but the level form in change removed these.
π© Quests (medal look) existed in maps era. You have to complete quests there to complete. Three quests are available everyday.
π© The destination list (located below quests) are destinations of maps found. This was removed during a revamp.
π© The hard levels show animations. Hard levels show none, Super hard levels show smoke (seen above),and ultra hard levels show fire.
π© The destination above I'm currently on is in Sugarcube Cave.
Screenshot 2: The Candy Town's look
π© This is candy town from the old version. It looks really good compared to the new one.. Unluckily, it was flooded and reconstructed.
π© For anyone confused, the golden pins look like that in old versions.
π© The character's sayings will differ. Before completing Candy Town, Yeti says when tapped: "Always sunny in Candy Town when you're here! But be quiet without Tiffi." Then after completing Candy Town section, Yeti says above.
π© Yeti looks cute. This Yeti was still seen though in CCS, but in Soda, he looks completely different.
π© Every objects in each place when tapped produces an animation and a sound effect. I always do this while waiting for lives π
Screenshot 3: Lollipop Meadows look
π© There, a monkey swinging non-stop in the tree π€£
π© I forgot what did the monkey said before completing this section, but after completing it, that's what he said above.
Screenshot 4: Soda Springs look
π© This one looks amazing, waves below it are cool!
π© The dragon there is here. Before completing this section, he says: "This pond turned into a lake! Reminds me of when I was a kid." Then after completing this section, he says that above. The way to Tiffi.
π© After completing this level, there is a portal leading you to the rest of the destinations. Every 15 levels, there's an episode, and every 45 levels, there's a portal. In alternative, every 20 levels, there's an episode, and every 60 levels, there's a portal.
Screenshot 5: The inside levels look
π© Backgrounds of the level change every episode, which is very cool. The background matches the destination! Unluckily, during a revamp, the background is just only one, the blue.
π© Lollipop, Striped, and Gloves only exist. There's no shuffler during that era. There's also Supersonic which I didn't get yet. The display of the boosters look awesome!
π© The level info above is still the same appearance as today. The only difference is the color and the size of the score.
Screenshot 6: Completing a level with golden pin
π© This feature is the most awesome one! Every time you complete a level on the first try, it shows a lovely animation with "Sodalicious" word on it! But when you complete a level without golden pin, it won't show this. Unluckily, this one was removed during a revamp.
TRIVIA:
- Circle levels are much better for me than square ones. Although they changed the shape because Level "10000" won't fit in the circle I guess.
- There are nearly 1000 destinations to explore and get fun into!
- Piggy bank exists during that era. Unfortunately, it was gone and not in the game currently.
- In completing levels with golden pins, easy and hard levels have a pin below it, but on super hard and ultra hard levels, the pin is not there, but the golden frame of a level acts as a pin.
