In the 2004 version, dot spaces were replaced with licorice spaces that prompt the player landing on it to simply lose his or her next turn. A player who lands on such a space is stuck (all cards are ignored) until a card is drawn of the same color as the square.
This move can be either forward or backward in the classic game backward moves can be ignored for younger players in the 2004 version of the game.īefore the 2004 version, there were three colored spaces marked with a dot. The deck has one card for each named location, and drawing such a card moves a player directly to that board location. Some cards have two marks of a color, in which case the player moves his or her marker ahead to the second-next space of that color. Players take turns removing the top card from a stack, most of which show one of six colors, and then moving their marker ahead to the next space of that color.
The remaining spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters such as Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet. The song itself has a playful, bouncy tone partially due to being in 6/8 time, but it's still in a minor key, invoking this trope.The race is woven around a story line about finding the lost king of Candy Land. For one thing, he starts out the Villain Song joyfully skipping around his cauldron. Psychopathic Manchild: The "psychopath" part is a bit watered-down considering that this is a kids' movie, but Lord Licorice, who wants to exert his power and make licorice the only candy in Candy Land, has shades of this.Magic Feather: Turns out Jib had the power to finish the Celebration himself.The Hero: Jib, who leads his friends on a mission to save Candy Land.Freudian Excuse: Lord Licorice implies that the reason why he wants to take over Candyland and turn it into Licorice land is because licorice is disliked as a candy, and that has caused the other residents to shun it and him.Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Attempted with Lolli and Frostine, but given no focus or development.Egopolis: Licorice's plan is to turn Candy Land into Licorice Land.He even twirls his mustache at one point in the Villain Song! Chekhov's Gun: Jib's frosting comes into play at the end, sticking to Lord Licorice's foot, preventing him from using the scepter.
