Cut the Rope Level 185 — Buzz Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 185★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 185 lands in Cut the Rope's hard band, and most players who Google it are stuck not because the answer is hard, but because the puzzle frames the question in a way that sends you down the wrong path.
## Cut the Rope — Buzz Box, Level 10
**Box:** Buzz Box | **Level:** 185 (Buzz Box #10)
## Walkthrough
This level uses air cushions, bubbles, time reversals, candy transformers and teleportation. The candy starts through the center and Om Nom is waiting at the bottom.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **First, observe the layout.** Look at where the candy hangs and trace a path to Om Nom. Note every rope, bubble, and obstacle.
2. **Cut the first rope** — the one holding the candy closest to the top. This drops the candy toward the first star.
3. **Use the air cushions** to redirect the candy toward the second star. Timing is important here — wait until the candy swings to its peak before activating.
4. **Collect the final star** by popping the bubble at the right moment.
5. **Guide the candy to Om Nom.** If you miss a star, the candy should still reach Om Nom — just replay for a perfect score.
### Getting All 3 Stars
- Star 1: Drops naturally when you cut the first rope.
- Star 2: Requires precise timing with the air cushions.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to use the bubble to float up before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Buzz Box introduces air cushions which create upward currents that push the candy. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Map the level's mechanic chain: which element feeds into which? Identify the critical path (the sequence of interactions the candy must follow) and lock down each step before adding star collection. Optimize for stars only after the basic path works.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 185:
- Cutting the nearest rope first without considering the candy's full path to all three stars and Om Nom.
- Ignoring momentum — the candy continues moving after a rope is cut, and timing the cut at the swing's peak gives maximum distance.
- Not replaying the level to observe star positions before attempting a three-star run.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Buzz Box, air cushions are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
