Watermelon Waves is the 169th episode in Candy Crush Saga and the fourth episode of World 34 (HTML5). This episode was released on 17 May 2017. The champion title for this episode is Tropical Trooper.

The release of this episode is historically significant because it coincided with the total removal of Dreamworld. This is also the final episode to have a unique mobile background that can be seen under normal circumstances as the 3D map for HTML is about to be rolled out later.

Story

Trivia

• Upon release, candy order levels returned after their absence in the previous episode, Savory Springs. However, this is no longer true because one level in said episode was redesigned to be a candy order level.
• Before the nerfs and downgrades, this used to have a mean of 8.2 (including pre-nerf 2521), making it the hardest episode in the game along with Popsicle Plateau.
• The extra time booster was removed upon the release of this episode, possibly because of the continuous absence of timed levels in later episodes (and their eventual removal from the game).
• This episode contains half of a Hell's cluster (2517-2533, except 2527).
• This is one of the episodes to have the name of a fruit in its title.
• This is the first episode to have a six-coloured level (Level 2521) in a long time.
  • The previous episode with a six-coloured level is Radiant Resort.
  • The next episode with a six-coloured level is Fantastic Forest (Episode 607).
• This episode's pathway is shaped like that of Gummy Galaxy, but is red instead of hot pink. This breaks the trend of a hot pink pathway every 9 episodes starting from Treacle Retreat. The new trend continues until the end of Flash version.
• The release date of this episode coincides with the day Dreamworld was removed from the game.
