Wrapped Candy

Animating Wrapped Candy (Facebook)

A Wrapped Candy is one of the main special candies in Candy Crush Saga. It is a regular candy in a similar coloured wrapper. They are formed when an intersecting match is formed, but none of the intersections contain a line of 5 or more candies. The simplest case is 5 candies in an L or T shape. They award at least 200 points upon formed and 540 points per explosion.

When it is activated, it explodes and 8 surrounding candies (3x3 board space) are cleared. Then the candy that exploded will flash and wait until all candies are fully dropped and will explode a second time. This is why Wrapped Candies destroy more candies than a Striped Candy, but it does not have a long range.

On web version, if after the first explosion there is a candy match that is linked to the same colour as the wrapped candy, the match will work once (even make special candies if it is longer than 3) and destroy the other candies first. Then it will finally explode the second time. This creates more candy destruction.

Combinations with Special Candies

WRAPPED CANDY	OTHER SPECIAL CANDY	EFFECT
Wrapped Candy	Striped Candy	A giant striped candy that takes up a 3x3 area clears all candies vertically and horizontally.
Wrapped Candy	Wrapped Candy	Both wrapped candies will go off twice as usual, except that the blast range becomes 5x5 for both.
Wrapped Candy	Colour Bomb	First, the Wrapped Candy will go off like a regular Colour Bomb and destroy every candy of the colour the wrapped candy was, leaving a flashing Colour Bomb. Then, if the flashing Colour Bomb is not triggered by something else, it will go off and destroy the most abundant candy colour.
Wrapped Candy	jelly fish	This creates three wrapped jelly fish which convert any eaten candy into wrapped candies and activates them.
Wrapped Candy	coconut wheel	The coconut wheel follows the full path vertically or horizontally, depending on the way you switched it, and will convert the whole row/column into wrapped candies which then activate.

Trivia

When you create a combination "wrapped candy-striped candy", the first candy you swipe becomes the giant candy.
- However, if one of them is a Candy Frog, the frog will always become a giant "frog candy".
It is not possible to directly form a + shape to form a wrapped candy using one switch. However, it is possible to strategically create them, as shown on the picture on the right.
When a single wrapped candy is activated, it will always give 540 points regardless of where it is detonated (unless there are Candy Bombs in blast radius). This is the same for wrapped + wrapped combination in web version. However, on mobile device, the number of points given for wrapped candy + wrapped candy combination varies on the location where the combination takes place.
- The formula is (60 x (tiles of blast area - 1)) where the blast area includes missing tiles, but not out-of-board area. As such, when it happens in the board corner, it scores only 480, which is less than a standard wrapped candy.
When combined with a Striped Candy, all the candies except the selected candies that are used will in some ways activate. In the past, there was a slight glitch on Facebook where other Wrapped or Striped Candies within the vicinity will be wasted and not activated. As of May 2014 (or late April perhaps), all special candies will activate.
- On web version, this is a 2-phase action, and the special candies will be activated during the first phase of horizontal attacking.
- On mobile however, this is a 3-phase action, where forming the giant candy itself counts as another phase and will trigger other special effects. This phase however only affects part of the objects.
Wrapped candies can be created (and then detonated) at random by activating a UFO.
- In timed levels, Extra Time Candies will turn into Wrapped Candies during Sugar Crush.
On web version, by making a wrapped + wrapped combination, they will cause great blasts, pushing other candies far back on the board with a loud noise. This does not happen on mobile where they use same blast sound as for standard wrapped candies.
- However, this combination is glitchy on web version as it tends to "push" objects off the border such as sugar keys and ingredients. Objects going through dispensers in this way may be replaced with different objects.
If a cascade chain is too long, a wrapped candy already exploded once will explode again after 3 (web) / 5 (mobile) cascades in a single chain. This also applies to the flashing colour bomb in a colour bomb + wrapped candy combination. This is easily spotted in any open board with 4 colours (including moon struck).
A wrapped candy already exploded once will not be removed by other effects. However, on mobile version, the flashing colour bomb from colour + wrapped combination may be detonated earlier. (It does not happen on web version.)
