The marshmallows are meant to represent Lucky's magical charms, each with their own special meaning or "power." The following are explanations of the permanent marshmallows:[11]



Hearts – power to bring things to life

Shooting Stars – power to fly

Horseshoes – power to speed/slow down time

Green Clovers – luck, but you will never know what kind of luck you will get

Blue Moons – power of invisibility

Rainbows – instantaneous travel from place to place

Red Balloons – power to make things float

Unicorn – according to the inaugural cereal box, unicorns can "cleanse water with a touch of their horn," "heal whatever troubles you," and "always know when you are telling the truth"

Moon – power to change alternate gravity
