    Very nice, congrats! Not sure about the spin tokens, the only thing I remember seeing is most spin tokens won in a round. It's amazing how you go from absolutely zero spin token wins in the slot machine to it suddenly spitting them out like candy.

    Great job!

    Okay I figured it out. When you get any of the 'smash a hole in the wall' missions and you won a head start in the slots in the previous run, then it doesn't count as smashing through the wall.

    <devilsadvocate>You may well be right but, to be fair, he might just have spent a load of real cash on buying coins... </devilsadvocate>

    There was something odd about that video though. What was the message pop up that appeared after the first time lost? Seems like he's done some manipulation to the game. I know when I had an issue with one of the store items, Muscat was able to do something and send me an action button that fixed my issue.

    He was a little too "wild" on the screen as well. I would think a person with skill to get that far would be smoother, almost zen like.

    I agree... it was like he wasn't even trying... way out of control... pretty much bought the score with $$

    In order to get all the coins necessary to get those utilities he would need about 13,000,000 coins.

    In the store $13 can get you a million coins, that's about $169 to get 13mil. So either he's stupid with his money or he has played 24/7 to collect all of those coins....or he's a hacker which is very likely.

    I've only collected 800,000 coins in 34 hours played, and that's WITH the counterfeit machine. Pretty darn sure he's a hacker. Out of curiosity, how many coins have you collected Microbyte?

    Edit: just noticed that when he finished, he paused then exited out of the app, why do you suppose he did that? To hack some more? Remember, his "record" of 30,000 isn't on the leaderboards, maybe because he's still improving it?

    Anyway, just some things I noticed, back to playing the game.

    1 750 Meter Start
    1 Extra Life Heart
    1 Bomb
    1 ounce of "relax and don't concentrate too hard"
    2 grams of luck
    14 tablespoons of Patience

    Mix it all together and just keep trying. I find it best to be relaxed when trying to do anything. If you get too involved, you might start to get nervous. Nervousness leads to twitchiness and irrational pressing of the screen, followed by bouts of screaming and near release of the iDevice from the palm of your hand towards the A) Floor or B) Wall C) Some other inanimate, solid structure that could prove deadly to said iDevice.

    Wait for the 1750M no-coins mission so you feel productive as you do it, and don't try for it until getting to 2000M (on a normal run) is easy for you. Really. I think a lot of people are jumping the gun in trying to complete all the achievements right away, and that's what makes it extra frustrating for them.

    Beyond that, the strategy is just to stick to the ceiling and drop down just enough to avoid any obstacles (including coins, tokens, and vehicle icons).

    I wish this info could be stickied somehow, it gets asked every 2 pages.

    You're really getting a lot of value out of your dollar (or is that two?) :)
