Magic is a randomly-occurring event that was implemented on January 12, 2011. When a player collects a Coin or a Blue Coin, there is a small chance of it being a magic coin. If a Magic Coin is collected, a message will appear in the Chat and the player will get a pop-up message stating what the player earned.

Basic Information

Here is some basic information the Magic system and how it works.

• Magic Coins do not have distinct appearances.
• Magic Coins appear randomly.
• A message displays informing you that you have found a Magic Coin.
• You may get only one Magic Coin in a single world session.
• There are 3 types of Magic coins, rewarding Energy, special Smileys, and special Blocks respectively.
• Coins reward Smileys, and Blue Coins reward Blocks and the Bruce NPC. However, both can reward Energy.
• Only a few are allowed per world session at most. The most ever seen in a session was 3.

• Player will receive +1 Max Energy. (42/100 chance)
• Player will receive +2 Max Energy. (23/100 chance)
• Player will receive +5 Max Energy. (18/100 chance)
• Player will receive +10 Max Energy and an Energy Refill. (10/100 chance)
• Player will receive +15 Max Energy and an Energy Refill. (6/100 chance)
• Player will receive +30 Max Energy and an Energy Refill. (1/100 chance)

Bruce NPC

There is a chance that you will be able to find a Bruce NPC with a Blue Magic Coin. Here is some information on how to obtain it and how it will function:^[1]

• The coin must be blue.
• You must be wearing the Bruce Smiley.
• You will only ever get one.
• The rarity to obtain a Bruce NPC is the same as the rarity to obtain a Magic Block.
• You will still obtain the normal magic item.

Obtaining Magic

Magic can be obtained by normal play, but there are factors that can reduce or increase the likeliness of finding Magic.

• The Magic algorithm depends on key inputs. If you spam keys you'll don't get magic. You'll have the most luck playing through normal worlds without too many Coins.
• Coin farming levels do not provide any magic.
• Worlds with too many Coins have reduced chances of Magic. When a level has over 400 coins, the world won't allow any chance of Magic.
• The more Max Energy you have, the more rare Energy Magic Coins become.
• If you don't move for 15 seconds you can't get magic.
• You can get again magic after one hour of it's obtaining.
• There should be at least 15 seconds difference between coins.

Glitches

The Magic system had its fair share of screw-ups. Major ones are listed below.

2011

• Due to a glitch, Magic Coins had a one in a trillion chance to be found (1/1,000,000,000,000). However, updates made chances much higher.

2015

• The Magic algorithm was broken for a day, and Magic Coins were extremely common, players earned around 400 Max Energy and a lot of Magic Blocks that day. This was known as the 2015 Magic Rush.
