Do you like collecting coins in Levels?

Well I do, only if it is a reasonable amount.
I don't like it when people add coins all over the place, leaving some unreachable.

If some are unreachable why would you be collecting coins?
I do, unless the coins are over 400.

I do, no matter the number.
If people put coins in a level then the point is to get them.

Thats something that bugs me in a way. If someone goes through the trouble of putting in coins and people just ignore them then whats the point.

I like coins to represent optional, and perhaps more difficult, challenges you must overcome to get them.   When coins are pointlessly strewn across a level, there's absolutely no fun in that.

I love collecting coins in a level, especially minigames.
Just the same as you, when there are a lot of coins scattered around, I don't want to collect them anymore..
There are also times when I accidentally go to the next minigame and won't be able to get the coin, I won't even think about getting the coins any more

Coins for winning challenges? Yes

Coins just for being there? No.

If I go out my way collecting coins half way through the levels, then a few are unreachable, it defeats the purpose

I hate suicide coins (when the coins make you start over)
I mean I like collecting them, But when they are put in fail spots, I mean, just HECK NO.

Not really.
Unless a new update comes out coins will have no use.
Most of the time I don't collect coins but if I'm in a good mood I'll do it.
But when theres too many coins in a map theres no point in wasting that much time IMHO.

Re: Do you like collecting coins in Levels?

Coins can be very fun to collect when skillfully and thoughtfully placed, and are well balanced. (Like in a platformer video game; Super Mario Brothers, for example) Meaning, as long as the coins stay between the lines of making the challenge harder and funner, are completely accessible, are used as rewards for completing a challenge, or are used in "bonus areas", then I like to collect them. Making suicide coins that cost you a lot of unnecessary damage, or just putting them there for no reason, I'll ignore them. I hate it when every bit of free space is taken up by a coin. It always seems overwhelming and uncomfortable to have all these coins taking up the place.

I admittedly have over a thousand easy-to-get coins in my adventure map - which I plan to scrap in favour of a different map.

I think the best usage of coins is, as said above, when they are used as bonus challenges. When the total is something like 10 gold coins in the entire map with 2 extra blue coins they feel like they're worth more. That said,

Enter The Eye had a bunch of these coins. Not worth it. It is however more interesting when say, a room has the exit at half it's height but has a coin at the very top. Optional bonus challenges make it more worth it, especially when they aren't artificial like suicide coins.

If coin gates get implemented they will have even more value. I will certainly be putting a crown behind a coin gate.

Too many coins gets annoying, but I still try to collect them ALL!

No! Bad levels are levels that have over 500 coins. And it's even worse if it's over 2000.
