[@Dolphin002]

I like the first coin in Dash. I didn't even notice the glow in the last block, so it felt more like an actual puzzle. My reasoning was that the red blocks drop the big spike thing on you instead of immediately killing you, so if you hit the last one you may be able to barely get by without dying.

[@dinkle-1]

thats not how you're meant to find it but ok if you drop to where the coin seems to be hidden you'll see a submarine type thing in the background right above the coin in the ground. it has 4 yellow cubes and 1 red cube at the end. This shows that you're supposed to hit the yellow cubes and one red one at the end

[@bruex2277]

22:23 I actually really like this coin. I think the blue glow is very noticeable (i found it on my first playtrough of the level) and to get to the secret wall the player must understand how to use orbs both ways, which is something that was just taught to the player by using the pink orb. Or maybe I'm reading way to hard into that coin and RobTop just rushed the coin and put no thought into it.

[@timdurkin5538]

I actually really like the first coin in Dash. It's meant to match the music sync, which I think makes it super unique. However, it does kind of make it difficult to find when the practice mode music is playing. However, in normal gameplay, it actually works really well. Now it feels weird to go past that part without getting the coin because you're going against the sync.

[@erikfassett]

One thing about the first coin of Dash I want to mention: I actually figured it out because, due to how the red blocks kill you (by forcing the spike ceiling to go down), the last red block couldn't possibly kill you as you'd get out from under the ceiling before it could kill you. So I felt it was at least somewhat clever as I figured it out through thinking about how the level's hazards work and how something that seemed like it should be a hazard logically wouldn't be after thinking it through.

Colon, I hope you see this comment cause the first coin when it's in the lava, there's a stone behind it with 5 squares indicating that the player has to hit the last skull in the "sync" part to get the coin. Hopefully you see this before you make your 2.2 coins tier list and at least give it a little higher rating

I really hope people learn to not do that for speedrunning to be fun.

Also, the reason you need to hit the last block for the first coin in dash is because since you hit the yellow blocks to the beat of the music, it seems to miss the last beat of that section, but when you hit the last block it matches up so thats why you get the coin because it syncs up with the music.
