Level 500 is the fifteenth and last level in Meringue Moor and the 163rd jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 66 double jelly squares in 23 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
This level is intrinsically special due to its round number and, before redesigns, having many moves and all the blockers except the toffee tornado at the time it was released.
Difficulty[]
- The jellies on the bottom left are very hard to clear because of four-layered frosting, locked three-layered frosting, holes, and locked liquorice swirls.
- There are only 23 moves to clear all of the jellies, including the jellies on the bottom left corner.
- A cake bomb is provided, but it can do little to clear the hard-to-reach jellies and some of its slices are hard to reach.
- The jelly is worth 132,000 points[1], which is more than the one-star target score.
- All the jellies are double.
- Hence, an additional 348,000 points need to be earned to get two stars.

Trivia[]
- This is the 5th milestone level in Reality and the 2nd one to be an episode finale (the 1st is level 200).
- This is one of those levels, like the original level 147 and level 181, which look easy but are actually very difficult.
- Many people thought this level would be a jelly level due to the pattern of level finales. Levels like 350 (the hardest in the game before it was nerfed), 380, 410, 440, and 470 were all difficult jelly finales (every other finale), and the ones in between being candy order levels. However, when level 485 turned out to be jelly instead of candy order, people began to suspect level 500 would not be a jelly level.
- There was a poll before the release of this level to vote on the predicted level type. About 70% of people voted "Jelly".
- Many people thought that this would be the last level ever due to the record-breaking ten-week gap between this level's release and the next episode, Ice Cream Caves.
- This level used to have 65 moves, which was previously the most amount of moves in a level in the game. This record has since been broken with pre-redesigned level 666 having 66 moves which in turn was broken by pre-buffed level 696 having 75 moves.
- This is a milestone level and the next episodes released are Dreamworld episodes.
- Now, the prophecy that even level 500 will have a Dreamworld counterpart has come true.
- The prophecy that all levels and episodes will have a Dreamworld counterpart never came true; this is proved by the release of the last Dreamworld episode and all the other episodes released after it.
- Ironically, the level 500 in Candy Crush Soda is very easy to pass but is extremely hard to earn three stars.
- This was the first level where coconut wheels can be activated by cake bomb explosions.
- This level spawned sugar drops before this element was removed.

Celebrating the milestone[]
- Main article: Dreamworld
To celebrate the release of this level and reaching halfway to 1000, King created Dreamworld, a separate saga where each level is similar to its reality counterpart but Odus the owl is balancing on the Moon Scale and collecting certain candy colours will make him fall off and lose a life, but after a certain number of moves, Odus activates Moon Struck where the number of candy colours is reduced to four (from either five or six) for a certain number of moves.
Dreamworld was released on 27 November 2013, which was many weeks after the release of Level 500, although King has stated that Dreamworld was dedicated to the release of 500 levels.
Unlike level 200, which had Sweet Surprise, there wasn't a particular celebratory episode for it. The episode containing levels 501-515 is Ice Cream Caves. However, most would agree Dreamworld is a much bigger element to the game.
Interestingly enough, Level 500 itself got its Dreamworld counterpart upon the release of Sprinkle Springs on 3 December 2014, more than one year after the release of this level. However, not every level had a Dreamworld counterpart, since Dozy Dawn brought Dreamworld to a premature end at 665 and Dreamworld was completely removed from the game in 2017.
In 2019, the HTML5 version celebrated Level 5000 along with the release of Fancy Festival.
