Coins

Coins can be obtained by: collecting them during gameplay, watching an advertisement, completing quests or by getting a Free Gift.

Often throughout a run, the player will come across coins. They can be found almost anywhere, from roads, railroads, grasslands, and even in rivers (on logs and lily pads). When the player passes over a coin, the coin will be collected and increase the players amount of coins by one if it was a yellow coin and by five if it is a red coin.

Every now and then, after death, the player has the chance to watch an advertisement. The ad only lasts for 10-30 seconds. At the end of the ad, the player will receive 20 coins. If the player has the Piggy Bank, they will receive 40 coins.

Using your Free Gift will give you coins

Variations

There are two types of coins: a yellow coin and a red coin. Yellow coins are less valuable than red coins, as yellow coins increase the players amount of coins by one, while a red coin increases it by five.

Obtaining a Red Coin

Red coins are special, in the sense that they are only available through in-app-purchases. If the player purchases the Piggy Bank for $3.99, they will also have unlocked red coins. As an added bonus, the player will also receive 1000 coins. Red coins are then found like yellow coins; by doing runs.

Appearance

Coins have the same basic shape as a real life coin. They are around the size of the player, depending on which mascot you are playing as. The yellow coins are yellow with a red C and the red coins are red with a yellow C. Coins are flat.

Uses

Coins only have one use: obtaining mascots. If the player saves up at least 100 coins, after death they will be given an option to cash in 100 coins for a chance at winning a new mascot in the Prize Machine. If you have gotten all the mascots and you have 100 coins or more it won't give you the option. Also, for 10,000 coins you can buy the slippy penguin.
