Cut the Rope Level 80 — Magic Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 80★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 80 lands in Cut the Rope's mid-tier band, and most players who Google it are stuck not because the answer is hard, but because the puzzle frames the question in a way that sends you down the wrong path.
## Cut the Rope — Magic Box, Level 5
**Box:** Magic Box | **Level:** 80 (Magic Box #5)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, rocket boosters, time reversals, bubbles and candy transformers. The candy starts through the center and Om Nom is waiting at the bottom.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **First, observe the layout.** Look at where the candy hangs and trace a path to Om Nom. Note every rope, bubble, and obstacle.
2. **Cut the first rope** — the one holding the candy closest to the top. This drops the candy toward the first star.
3. **Use the teleportation** to redirect the candy toward the second star. Timing is important here — wait until the candy swings to its peak before activating.
4. **Collect the final star** by popping the bubble at the right moment.
5. **Guide the candy to Om Nom.** If you miss a star, the candy should still reach Om Nom — just replay for a perfect score.
### Getting All 3 Stars
- Star 1: Drops naturally when you cut the first rope.
- Star 2: Requires precise timing with the teleportation.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to use the bubble to float up before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Magic Box introduces teleportation which add a new dimension to your puzzle-solving. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Focus on the hardest star first and build your solution around collecting it. The easier stars usually fall into place once you nail the critical timing. If a star requires an air cushion bounce, practice that single interaction before adding rope cuts.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 80:
- Cutting the nearest rope first without considering the candy's full path to all three stars and Om Nom.
- Ignoring momentum — the candy continues moving after a rope is cut, and timing the cut at the swing's peak gives maximum distance.
- Not replaying the level to observe star positions before attempting a three-star run.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Magic Box, teleportation are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
