The next thing that's going into SMTKO -- Frog Coins!
Inspired by Mario RPG, Heisanevilgenius and I wanted to include frog coins into the hack. Since we're using save huts that give items to the itembox, we couldn't really create stores. So instead, frog coins are used for minigames.
The minigame is a simple "collect all the frog coins" game. If you do, the frog box will give you an item. The item will vary by level and minigame, but it can be one of many things, including mushrooms, fire flowers, stars, p-switches, keys, or even bonus stars.
In this demo, the player needs 5 frog coins to get a fire flower. In the actual game, it will probably require somewhere between 20 and 30 frog coins. I do it three times to show that you do need exactly five, frog coins from the previous run don't count, and regular coins don't count either.
