## Cut the Rope — Magic Box, Level 15
**Box:** Magic Box | **Level:** 90 (Magic Box #15)
## Walkthrough
This level uses magic hats, air cushions, candy transformers, anti-gravity and teleportation. The candy starts from the top 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 magic hats** 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 using the air cushions to swing the candy wide.
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 magic hats.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the teleportation perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Magic Box introduces magic hats 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
Mid-difficulty levels in Cut the Rope demand precise timing windows — often measured in fractions of a second. The star collection paths become non-linear, requiring the candy to change direction mid-flight through multiple mechanic interactions.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 90:
- 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, magic hats are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
