Marble Sort Booster Explained: Cannon, Magnet and Shuffle
Learn what each one does and when to use them for maximum effect.
Cannon Booster
The Cannon Booster blasts every marble currently sitting on the conveyor and clears them all at once. It is the emergency wipe button.
When to use Cannon for maximum value:
- Use it when the conveyor is almost full.
- Use it when several marble colors are blocking each other.
- Use it when no visible box can take the marbles currently on the belt.
- Use it after a bad chain of drops creates a deadlock risk.
Best use:
Save the Cannon Booster for serious belt clutter. Do not spend it on a small number of marbles.
Magnet Booster
The Magnet Booster lets you drop any one box from above, giving you control over which box enters play instead of waiting for the normal flow.
When to use Magnet for maximum value:
- Use it when one specific box will clear multiple marbles.
- Use it when the conveyor has 2 or 3 marbles of the same color.
- Use it when the current visible boxes do not match the marbles on the belt.
- Use it during Elevator stages when the needed box is hidden above.
Best use:
Use the Magnet Booster when one chosen box can immediately fix the board.
Shuffle Booster
The Shuffle Booster rearranges the slots below in the queues, giving you a new set of bottom options when the current queue order is trash.
When to use Shuffle for maximum value:
- Use it when the bottom queues are in a bad order.
- Use it when the conveyor has useful marbles, but the matching slots are buried.
- Use it before the belt becomes completely full.
- Use it when several colors could become playable after a better queue shuffle.
Best use:
Use the Shuffle Booster in the middle of a problem, not at the end. If the conveyor is already packed, the Cannon Booster is the better choice.
