Marble Sort Level 488 — Walkthrough and Solution

Marble Sort Level 488 is a level where the bottom section demands twelve Dark Green marbles from the start. You must focus on feeding Dark Green into the four bottom Boxes as quickly as possible. Ignore the white Mystery Boxes in the top tray for now.

The board shows a four-column lower grid with Dark Green Boxes filling the front row. The top tray has one Dark Green block on the right edge, another tucked in the top-left behind Green and Purple blocks, and the rest hidden deeper. Three grey Surprise Bags sit vertically in the center, flanked by Lock and Key pillars on both sides. The keys rest on Purple (left) and Pink (right) blocks. White Mystery Boxes mixed with Yellow and Pink blocks appear in the front row of the top tray — avoid them early. An Elevator hides under the third column of bottom Boxes.

Marble Sort Level 488 Walkthrough

The bottom Boxes require twelve Dark Green marbles in total. The front row has four Dark Green Boxes; the rest of the lower grid contains Light Green, Yellow, and Red after clearing the front.

The main trap is the white Mystery Boxes in the front top row. Opening them prematurely fills your Conveyor Belt with random colors, blocking your ability to move Dark Green. Wait until at least two Dark Green bottom Boxes are cleared and the belt has space.

How to Beat Marble Sort Level 488 — Step-by-Step

Phase one: Secure Dark Green

1. Tap the Dark Green block visible at the front right of the top tray, sending it into a bottom Box.
2. Move the Green block and then the Purple block from the top-left corner to the Conveyor Belt, freeing the Dark Green underneath; then send that Dark Green down.
3. Leave the white Mystery Boxes alone entirely.
4. Pull blocks from the far left and right columns (for instance, Light Blue on the right) only when they expose Dark Green. Park unmatched colors temporarily only if they reveal Dark Green.
5. Continue feeding Dark Green until all four bottom Boxes are filled.

Phase two: Unlock the core

1. Match Light Green and Yellow marbles on the outer edges of the top area to free up space.
2. Clear the Purple block under the left key to unlock the left Lock and Key pillar.
3. Clear the Pink block under the right key to unlock the right pillar.
4. Focus on the third column's bottom Boxes (Yellow and Red) to trigger the Elevator, which brings Pink and Orange Boxes forward.

Phase three: Handle the Surprise Bags

1. Wait until your Conveyor Belt has at least five empty slots.
2. Tap the highest Surprise Bag, matching its contents into available bottom Boxes.
3. Pop the middle Surprise Bag next, clearing the belt between each bag.
4. Pop the lowest Surprise Bag last, again clearing the belt.
5. Drop remaining Dark Blue, Orange, and Red marbles from the top back row into the remaining bottom Boxes to finish.

Tips & tricks

• Always keep at least half your Conveyor Belt empty to handle unexpected color drops.
• Use the Elevator to your advantage by clearing the third column early to unlock new colors.
• When unlocking the pillars, clear the supporting color blocks in the correct order — Purple first, then Pink.

Common mistakes

• Tapping the white Mystery Boxes too early, flooding your belt.
• Popping Surprise Bags back-to-back without clearing the belt.
• Ignoring the top-left Dark Green because it's buried under other colors.
