How to use Candy Crush Saga Boosters

Candy Crush Saga has several boosters that can be bought with cash or won from the daily booster wheel or from the sugar drop challenge.

They become available to you as you move up the levels..

Here's what they are and when you can start to use them.

For a more detailed post on each booster click on the links.

First comes the Lollipop Hammer booster at level 6.

You can use this to smash any square, Candy, Jelly, cream etc. But it only smashes ONE level, If there is jelly under licorice, for example, it will remove the licorice but won't touch the jelly underneath.so only use it on your last layer of jelly.
The lollipop hammer will now also grow popcorn and will remove a section of a cake bomb. In later levels when you meet the Evil Spawners (magic Mixers) it will also give you one strike on them too. You can use it to set off any special candy or unlock a candy from licorice.
To use the lollipop hammer, click or tap on the booster icon for the lolly, then click or tap on the candy you want to remove. Take care to get the right candy as it's easy to miss and waste the lolly if you are careless.

Next is the 3 free moves, which appears after crushing level 7. This booster speaks for itself..

Third is the Jelly fish at level 8.

When matched with other candies the jelly fish turn into 3 fish which each smash a jelly.

Useful if you are down to the last jellies. Switch with other special candies for better results.
Switch a jelly fish booster with a colour bomb to give treble fish, a stripe will give three striped fish and with a wrap will give three wrapped candies.

After level 12 comes the Colour Bomb.

With this booster you can start the level with a colour bomb on the board...

Can give you a good start on levels that need it.

After level 14 is the Coconut Wheel.

This is a very powerful booster.

It can clear huge chunks of the board by turning into striped candies and exploding.
There are many uses for the Candy Crush coconut wheel booster, it is a very powerful booster and we have a page with detailed instructions on how to use the coconut wheel.

After level 26 comes the Extra Time booster.

This can be used to add 15 seconds onto the time on timed levels. Useful if you have trouble with speed!

When you complete level 34 you can buy or win the 
stripe & wrap booster.

This gives you a striped candy and a wrapped candy at the start of the game, however they are not always side by side.

When you pass level 98 you will be able to purchase the Bomb Cooler booster. 

This adds 5 to the count of all visible bombs on the board.

Useful if you've nearly completed a level and a bomb is about to blow!

After level 130 comes the Lucky Candy Booster.

This adds Lucky  candy's, with a question mark on, which turn into something useful when matched..

On later levels you will also see mystery candies on the board, but these can turn into bad, as well as good, things.
