I agree with this completely! I hadn't thought about it before, but without this change there would not have been a chance to succeed at the end of the map. Thank you! That being said, I did notice it ended about 5 minutes early. I would hate to see it come down to a final race and lose because of being locked out the last…

Last year, I know that christinewupp managed 3rd place in the final online round without having spent any actual money on the game. She mostly doesn't even watch ads - certainly never Sweet Cinema. She just plays well and fast with the gold and boosters she has won from episode races and gold chocolate boxes. She was not…

Oh wow. If you just want to be somewhat competitive, and you're actually able to watch lots of ads on Sweet Cinema, I have found that if you start with color bomb and striped/wrapped boosters on every Star Tournament level, you can actually win most of them with no other boosters. So when I play at a more casual speed,…

I feel like a rather large inventory is generally needed to make it to the live finals as one of the winning 10. I have amassed a pretty large inventory (close to 20,000 gold bars, and 350 each of UFOs and party boosters, along with an essentially unlimited number of color bombs and striped/wrapped). I did that without…

Blue candies in the Star Tournament levels count the same as new levels for All Stars. So just click on the star and play levels there, and you can continue to progress in All Stars. I qualified and got through the first knockout round using the Star Tournament levels, as did others here. It works and can be somewhat…

For what it's worth, my group did not have anyone use a token at all during the round, as best I could tell. Other than that difference, it was similar to Christine's experience. I started 22 hours after the beginning of the round.

Failed levels do not generate points. You must pass the level to get the points. In past years you could rack up lots of points on a single good level. Now the limit on a given level is 1000. (Or if you are using a multiplier token, 10,000.)

Wow, that's quite a change! I just got 779 on that one two-color (blue and green) Star Tournament level I mentioned, and there are a few frog levels with milking potential, so it's very useful knowing what the limit is. Thank you for discovering it!

Realistically, you probably have no chance of making it all the way to live finals. However, since most good players will be trying to save their tokens until round 6, if you are able to do lots of crushing and go pretty fast, you might still be able to get to round 6 if you don't get in a group where someone else decides…

Nice rundown. Looks like you are fairly safe, barring any crazy "hexing". I started this morning, 22 hours after the round start. My board now: Very easy so far; using it for more practice/planning with Star Tournament levels. I'm really starting to doubt I can get the speed I need for round 6 (if I can even get there),…
