Cut the Rope Level 225 — DJ Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)

## Cut the Rope — DJ Box, Level 25 **Box:** DJ Box | **Level:** 225 (DJ Box #25) ## Walkthrough This level uses magic hats, bubbles, time reversals, air cushions and candy transformers. The candy starts from the top 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 magic hats** 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 magic hats. - 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 DJ Box introduces magic hats which add a new dimension to your puzzle-solving. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead. ## Why This Level Is Tricky At difficulty 4, levels typically combine three or more mechanics: ropes, bubbles, teleporters, and gravity switches. The solution space becomes large enough that random experimentation is inefficient — you need to reason about the physics before acting. ## Common Mistakes Players frequently make these errors on Level 225: - 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.
