Hoarding Tokens — Is It Cheating To Leverage The Crossy Road Pecking Order?

While Crossy Road is an endless game, there is a definitive goal — to unlock all of the characters. Many of those characters are unlocked through the Prize Machine. To spin the prize machine, coins are required.

Therefore, in order to unlock Crossy Road characters sooner, it could help to collect coins faster. There's specifically an in-app purchase to do just that — The Piggy Bank. But, what if there was another way? What if it was possible to collect coins 50% faster or even 100% faster, without having to spend real world money?

Well, certain Crossy Road characters do have an advantage with collecting coins. But until I actually did the math, I didn't realize the dramatic difference. One character has an extreme advantage. Other characters are not as lucky. This video looks at sixteen different Crossy Road characters, to see which one can collect more coins on average.
