This is the level up table for Classic Zuma Blitz (versions prior to the relaunch in September 2012). This page is for archival purposes only.
XP is gained at the end of the game, either whether you run out of time or die. The amount gained is proportional to the amount of balls cleared, not score (unlike bejeweled blitz). (show balls cleared to XP table)
XP is very important (for high scores). In Bejeweled Blitz, XP does absolutely nothing (other than informing you what level you are). However Zuma Blitz will get you something per level up. As you level, you have access to powerups and other perks that allow you to gain more points per game. Additionally, mojo and idol points are gained and health is fully refilled upon leveling up. (Powerups themselves can be bought for some money before the level you normally gain them on, but high level powerups and perks cannot be bought that way.)
Feel free to comment if a patch changes one of the effects mentioned here

You will keep:
You will lose:
If you do go for it: Go for a high score early; you won't be on the Top 3 for quite a while. And unlock the bottom treasure slots FIRST (for 20/30 idols), you'll have a higher chance of getting 8 idols, and you'll get the x3 mojo potion for each level of mastery. If you used up your free revive / mojo boost during your first playthrough (from running out of life / mojo respectively) you don't get it again if you reset. You can still collect mojo/idol bonuses from Totally 80's Club emails. |

(Play as spirit animals) |
You have a option to use them:
All spirit animals currently use 36,000 mojo normally unless otherwise listed and unleash a color clearing spirit blast (after last hurrah). Links are gameplay vids of respective animals. Spirit Animal Cat - +fireball per 13 shots, clears all blue balls at end of game
Spirit Animal Eagle (45k mojo)
