Step-by-step solution
- 1) Open by taking the White box in the central part of the Top Tray and feeding it into the bottom-left receiver, then send the Light Green box into the bottom-right receiver.
- 2) Grab a Dark Red box sitting in the front row and feed it into the second bottom Box, leaving both Light Blue boxes alone since they are pure bait.
- 3) With the front cleared, the next receivers are Orange, Light Green, Orange, and Pink, so drop the Orange from the far right and pull Light Green from the exposed second row.
- 4) Clearing past the standard rows activates the first Iced layer of Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Orange, so fit them into the lower boxes wherever there is room.
- 5) Before popping a Surprise Bag, make sure the belt is nearly empty, then drop the front-most box that triggers a bag to absorb the random burst safely.
- 6) Sort the burst marbles into the newly revealed bottom Boxes and keep clearing the center as the left and right Tunnels push out Orange and Dark Red boxes.
- 7) Clear the second Iced layer of Light Blue, Purple, and White, and now the ignored Light Blue boxes from the start finally reach their target in the back-left corner.
- 8) Finish by matching the final top row of Dark Red, White, Pink, and Purple into the last remaining boxes without rushing.
