Level 201 Board Overview: The Tunnel Feeder

Level 201 is a tunnel level. Marbles drop from the top tray columns into a central funnel, squeeze through a narrow tunnel, and land in the receiver Boxes below. That bottleneck means the release order decides everything: whatever reaches the tunnel first gets served to the Boxes first.
The captured opening frame for this level is the game’s level-select screen, so this walkthrough is grounded in the mid-solve board, which shows the full layout: a top tray with a few filled columns — Green and Blue marbles, plus a crate block wedged into a middle column — and the lower half crowded with Light Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow, and Pink queued in the funnel and its feeding area.
The Boxes below ask for Light Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Pink, and Blue. The Green marbles in the tray, and the plain Blue marbles next to them, have no matching Box in this state, which sets the trap.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 201
- Bait colors: Green and Blue marbles sit in the top tray with no Box asking for them. Tapping them first parks useless marbles on your belt.
- The crate: a crate block occupies a middle tray column, cutting off the marbles behind it until you clear around it.
- The tunnel: only a few marbles fit through at a time, so a careless mix in the funnel delays whole color groups.
- Crowded queue: Light Blue, Purple, Orange, and Yellow all wait in the funnel together; releasing them out of order jams the tunnel.
Marble Sort Level 201 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The captured end frame returns to the level menu, so the closing moves below are kept deliberately general — follow the release order, not the exact taps.
Opening: feed only the Boxed colors

- Tap a Light Blue marble into a Light Blue Box. Light Blue sits in the funnel with a front-row home, so it is the safest first release.
- Feed Yellow next. It has front-row Boxes and clears out the queue quickly.
- Drop Purple whenever a Purple Box is in the front row — Purple is one of the heaviest colors in the funnel.
- Match Orange to its Boxes as they cycle forward; it is queued in the feeding area behind the others.
- Do not tap the Green marbles in the tray — there is no Green Box in this state.
- Leave the plain Blue marbles alone for the same reason; their Boxes only appear late in the solve.
- Work around the crate column. Treat the marbles behind it as off-limits until their Boxes arrive.
Midgame: manage the tunnel
- Release marbles in small same-color runs so the tunnel does not mix colors mid-flight.
- Keep the belt short: never carry a color whose Box is sitting in the back row.
- Feed Pink once a Pink Box is in front — it is queued in the funnel and will otherwise stall the colors behind it.
Cleanup: drain the funnel
- Let the queued Light Blue, Purple, Orange, and Yellow drain through the tunnel in order.
- When the Blue Boxes finally appear, the tray Blues and the tunnel stragglers drop straight in.
- The last Box pulls the remaining funnel marbles through on its own — only touch the belt if the tunnel stalls.

Level 201 Tips Recap
- Green and Blue are bait early — sort Light Blue, Purple, Orange, and Yellow first.
- The tunnel is the choke point: release same-color runs, never a mixed belt.
- Work around the crate column; clear the marbles behind it only when their Boxes arrive.
- The endgame is a drain: let the funnel empty in order and the final Boxes finish the level.
