Magical John: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:32, 2 March 2022

Origins

Magical John (or "Magic John" in Tomodachi Life and Miitopia) was first summoned by accident in Scribblenauts Unlimited, during RT Game's second stream. RT was prompted to help a woman to "teach a plesiosaurus to shoot hoops". He attempted to write "Michael Jordan", but the game's limited word selection resulted in RT changing it into "Magical John", with "John" being a self-insert by John Waugh, one of the members of the game's developer team. The "Magical" adjective created sparkle effects around John, and gave him other magical properties that RT never found. He promptly put Magical John in the backpack, as he found him "creepy".

Scribblenauts Unlimited

After the aforementioned incident, Magical John was taken out of the backpack to help Steve Irwin find a dinosaur; however, he was of little help, so he was put back in the bag. He was taken out again when the same dinosaur needed to be lured out of a bush, and he was placed in a cage as bait. He successfully fulfilled the prompt, but was ignored. Another Magical John was taken out of the bag to try and save the hunter, but did not successfully fulfill the prompt.

In RT's third Scribblenauts Unlimited stream, Magical John was brought out as an offering for the volcano goddess, as she demanded a love interest. The goddess took a liking to John, and took him as her new lover.

John also appears in the credits of the game, riding an oversized shrimp with dragon wings, and lacking any magic particle effects.

Tomodachi Life

Magical John was an Islander on Island Island. His first name was "Magical", and his last name was "John." He was referred to by his nickname: "Magic John". The Mii used was created by a person going by the name Radical. RT set out to give him a terrifying voice, and the resulting voice has been described by RT as "like nails on a chalkboard". He was referred to by his nickname: "Magic John". His personality was a Confident Free-spirit. He attended a party celebrating Island Island reaching a population of ten.

Miitopia (Nintendo Switch)

Magical John was added as the last party member in the story during RTGame's Miitopia Switch playthrough. This is because he decided to wait for the other's behind an inn in the Realm of the Fey instead of seeking them out. He had the Flower battle class, which gave his avatar a flower hat. His addition was initially met with an overwhelmingly negative reaction from Twitch Chat, as RT had predicted moments before his introduction. Despite this, RT suggested that Chat, a character representing his Twitch Chat, interact with John on a daily basis, and over time Twitch chat became divided on their feelings for John, with some declaring eternal hatred, while others love him.

Magical John's Mii in Miitopia was created by Discord user Welark.

-Magical John (or "Magic John" in Tomodachi Life and Miitopia) was first summoned by accident in Scribblenauts Unlimited. RT was prompted to help a woman to "teach a plesiosaurus to shoot hoops". He attempted to write "Michael Jordan", but autocorrections changed it to "Magical John", with "John" referring to John Waugh (one of the many developer self-inserts in Scribblenauts). He promptly put Magical John in the backpack, as he found his face unnerving.

-As an NPC, John acts like a cop and tries to fight criminals and other “bad” people, but is relatively weak when unarmed, and needs to be given a weapon to do noteworthy damage. He is also invincible to anything that isn’t an instant-kill, such as black holes or death himself. The “Magical” adjective also gives him some general magical properties. However, none of these traits are ever discovered or utilized by RT.

-Magical John was added as a hero in the third team of RTGame's Miitopia playthrough. His role was "Flower", which gave his avatar a flower hat. His addition was met with an initially cold reaction from Twitch chat, with the majority of its participants stating that they felt nothing but hate for him. Despite this, RT suggested that the character known as "Chat" interact with John on a daily basis, which Chat decided to do completely under their own free will. At some point, Twitch chat became divided on their feelings for John, with some declaring eternal hatred, while others love him.
