The box never clarifies what the difference between “floating” and “flying” is, but surely he doesn’t need both.
Even so, the unicorn charm might be the weak link of the bunch. The world is already colorful. Get a job, unicorn.
Without the unicorn bringing colour, there would be no rainbows. Where would that leave Lucky? Without the power of teleportation, that’s where!
So it’s like a skill you have to do before the others. Since teleport is so powerful, it makes sense you’d need two charms to use it.
OP:
The world is already colorful. Get a job, unicorn.
How do you think the world got so colorful?! Unicorn has been very busy indeed.
Flying requires speed, otherwise you would stall. Please make sure your kids remember this, it is important.
That’s true for aircraft, yes. But for humanoids, there’s an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
That sounds like something out of Discworld.
Close. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I wonder what would have happened if Terry Pratchett teamed up with Douglas Adams like he did with Neil Gaiman (someone whose work I enjoyed before recent revelations).
Conversely, I would say that floating lacks control. You’re at the whim of air currents, and changes in pressure.
When a bird hovers in place, it’s no longer flying it’s floating?
TBF, not all birds can do this;so it being a separate skill/power adds up.
Kestrels do this, which makes them easy to recognize.
If you’re a kestrel, feel free to ignore my advice.
I think the power to float is more of a buoyancy power. Like, he’s very hard to drown because he can inflate his special bladder with red balloon power.
Vis à vis Archimedes’ Principle, does that imply that leprechauns have a higher average body density than human beings? I’m also relatively hard to drown, despite not having any cereal-powered buoyancy. (At least, no more than the average cereal eater.)
Don’t leprechauns spring from rocks? That weird little guy weighs 50 stone.
Teleportation also makes flying unnecessary.
Floating may still be a good idea if he teleports into the air and doesn’t want to immediately come crashing down.
He could just continuously teleport himself to his target location to effectively float, but teleportation probably uses more resources than floating, so maybe it’s an efficiency thing.
General Mills needs to clarify the exchange rate between Red Balloons and Rainbows. The people demand it
I wonder if teleporting resets momentum.
If not; continuously teleporting back to the same location in the sky, you’re just going to keep picking up vertical speed.
When you eventually stop teleporting, all that built up momentum has to go somewhere… Hope you’ve got some real strong ankles.
:) I miss Toms videos. Hope he’s doing well.
What about teleporting others?
So this leprechaun guy needs all these things to have a great magical life, but you take them all off him and eat all of them for breakfast, leaving him with a depressing colourless, magic-free world?
Are we the baddies?
He is a tyrant and his name is unspeakable in wider folklore world. The last time he came to power he slaughtered countless innocents based on his whims and pleasures. Many of the freedom fighters that liberated his palatial fortress came out changed men - they forbade the younger fighters from going into the palace, burned both palace and the grounds down, turned the entire compound to rubble, and never spoke of what they saw even in the ensuing trials of his servants.
Every one of the freedom fighters who had the misfortune of going in and beholding his works have subsequently committed suicide in the ensuing years - every one of them down the last man.
May the winds of time erase his accursed name from living memory!
This is brilliant. If this was genuinely part of their advertising, I’d probably start eating it, to protect my family from his tyranny :D
Unicorn, Heart (Captain Planet), and Aquaman probably hang out, during the adventures they’re not invited to.

I think floating is like what The Great Gazoo does in The Flintstones.
