Marble Sort Level 358 — Walkthrough and Solution

Level 358 is the double crate & iced box trap. The central double Crate and four Iced Boxes create a tight bottleneck, so you must feed the front boxes first and carefully mine the left column for Light Blue before touching the right side.

Marble Sort Level 358 is a board built around a central barrier: two large Crates occupy the upper middle, and directly beneath them sit four Iced Boxes, each imprisoning a single marble. To the left of those frozen marbles, you'll find a Red and a Yellow; to the right, a Green and a Blue. Between these frozen pieces, two free marbles—Pink and Purple—rest in the center. Below this frozen row, four clusters of Purple, Red, Blue, and Light Blue provide your initial feeding options. The bottom row of Boxes initially demands Light Blue, Light Blue, Red, and Purple, but you lack enough Light Blue to satisfy both requests from the front clusters alone.

The outer columns hold the key. On the far left, a column stacks from bottom to top: Purple, Orange, Purple, Light Blue, Yellow, and a Gift Box at the very top. The right column stacks Brown, Blue, Pink, Green, Orange, and another Gift Box. The right column is a decoy early on because no bottom Box currently asks for Brown, Pink, or Green; touching it will clog your Conveyor Belt with unusable colors. Your lifeline is the Light Blue buried in the left column, so you must carefully peel away the top layers of that column to reach it without jamming your belt.

Marble Sort Level 358 Walkthrough

The front row of bottom Boxes asks, from left to right, for Light Blue, Light Blue, Red, and Purple. You can satisfy the first three of these using the central clusters, but the second Light Blue request forces you to dig into the left column. The imbalance is that you have exactly one extra Light Blue available, and it sits under two marbles in the left column, while the right column offers no immediate help.

The trap is that the right column looks tempting because it has many colors, but none of them match current demands. If you pull from it early, your belt will fill with Brown, Blue, Pink, and Green, leaving no room to stage the colors you actually need. Therefore, the opening phase must focus exclusively on the left column and the central clusters.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 358 — Step-by-Step

Clearing the Front Row

  1. Tap the bottom-most central cluster that contains Purple, and route that Purple into the matching bottom Box.
  2. Next, locate the Red cluster in the center and send that Red into the Red Box.
  3. Then, find the Light Blue cluster and drop that Light Blue into the first Light Blue Box.
  4. Now, look to the left column: tap the bottom Purple marble there to park it on the Conveyor Belt.
  5. Immediately after, tap the Orange marble sitting above that Purple, and park it on the belt as well.
  6. With those two slots filled, the Light Blue underneath is now exposed. Tap that Light Blue marble; it will fly down and fill the second Light Blue Box, completing the front row.
  7. As the bottom Boxes cycle, a new set of demands appears. Spot a Purple request and slide the Purple you parked on the belt into that Box to free up belt space.

Breaking the Crates

  1. Now that the front row is clear, focus on the Iced Boxes. Your goal is to shatter the ice on the Red and Blue marbles first because they are adjacent to the Crates.
  2. Examine the new bottom Boxes and match colors to release the trapped Red marble from its ice. Clear that Red into a matching Box when available.
  3. Do the same for the Blue marble: wait for a Blue request and deliver the frozen Blue to it.
  4. Once those two frozen marbles are gone, the Crates above them take damage. Next, tap the free Pink marble that sits in the center and guide it to a matching Box.
  5. Then tap the free Purple marble in the center and send it to a Purple Box.
  6. These actions trigger adjacent clears, dealing more damage to the Crates.
  7. Eventually, one of the Crates shatters, opening up the upper center and revealing more marbles to work with.

Reaching the Gift Boxes

  1. With the first Crate gone, you now have access to the right column. Start pulling marbles from the right side, but only when the bottom Boxes request Green, Pink, or Orange.
  2. Alternate between the left and right columns. When a Yellow request appears, pull the Yellow from the left column; when a Brown request appears, pull the Brown from the right.
  3. Prioritize whichever column is closer to its Gift Box. Clear the marbles beneath a Gift Box to activate it, which will drop new boxes onto the board.
  4. Do not panic when new boxes appear; the top tray is mostly empty now. Simply match the remaining colors systematically to finish the level.

Tips & tricks

  • Always keep an eye on your Conveyor Belt; if it fills with unusable colors, you lose flexibility.
  • Use the left column as your primary source early, and only touch the right column after the front row is cleared.
  • When you free a marble from an Iced Box, immediately look for a matching bottom Box to avoid belt congestion.

Common mistakes

  • Pulling from the right column too early, which floods your belt with Brown, Pink, and Green.
  • Ignoring the Light Blue shortage and trying to clear the front row without digging into the left column.
  • Breaking the ice on the wrong marbles first, which delays the Crate destruction.
