Its such a pain to sit on OVERNINETHOUSAND coins and have to shoot them all in this boring minigame to get new trophies. And finally after i got myself to play it and get 99 trophies i got 10 duplicates and 2 new trophies. hate it

I think it is a lot of fun. There is not much else to do with coins other then continues. I don’t care much for the betting on spectator matches.

I wish you could shoot faster on it. I've been sitting on 9999 coinds since the end of the first day I got the game and I've never dipped below 9000 from shooting them, even if I play it for ages.

Jake is definitely dropping Yoshi
I enjoy playing it. Too bad new trophies didn't show up more often... it's kind-of a pain to shoot OVER NINE THOUSAND coins and only get about 10 new trophies (along with hundreds of duplicates).

I like it. But it doesn't seem as much fun as gambling. Normally I don't like gambling with slots, but that machine in Melee was...addictive man.

It's more interactive than the lottery, but I wish there were instructions for it so that I knew what I was doing the first time through. Also, I hate how there is times where it's actually impossible to hit the trophy because of all sorts of stuff in front of it to shoot, or how I've actually seen two of the same trophy at once. It's fun to do if I have nothing better to do at least.

After playing it for 10+ hours all in the pursuit of one last trophy, I never want to see the coin launcher again.

I still can't find Cubone!

I think its a enjoyable diversion. I definitely like it a lot more than the machine in Melee.

I've spent more time playing Coin Launcher than I'd like to admit, but I know that I've seen one or two trophies there that I don't have - that I missed getting - so I keep going back at least once per play session for about 15 minutes in the hopes that they come back.

Compared to the Lottery system in Melee, this is a LOT more fun and a much better use of the coins collected.

It's too slow paced. There needs to be a higher risk/reward. Right now, it's about as fun as grocery shopping... for someone else... and they won't be cooking for you.

I love the whole idea, just new trophies should have a higher chance of appearing. I only need like 2 more and they never appear. I mean, come on, how rare can 'Wedding Peach' be?

It is the most boring thing Nintendo's put in front of us since Donkey Konga.

I don't like playing the mini-games to get my trophies, I prefer just mindlessly hitting the button in Melee while I watched TV.

OVER 9000! I agree... it was fun for about an hour but gets way too repetitive... I think they should have offered a lottery as an alternative if you are lazy.

I got my Bowser Jr. Trophy from it, and seeing how I love Bowser Jr., I love the coin launcher!

It was amusing for awhile, but when I got all the trophies from it......it got boring.

Meh, I actually like it. The only thing is, what are those unbreakable balls with the slots on the side? I've tried to shoot coins into the slots, but its near impossible.

I played for a really long time and get tons of time.

I did that a few times actually. It's pretty fun but it's just plain annoying when you only have one or two new trophies to get from there (I'm pretty sure I only need a few more right now)

Really, the concept is good, but it should have been more robust. There should have been:
-An entry fee of 1000 coins
-A life bar
-More intense battles with the enemies
-More enemies

It gets kind of bland, sometimes I really want the lottery back!

In the Lottery, your odds of getting a new trophy increased if you deposited more coins.

However, the Coin Launcher focuses on more intense luck since it gets even harder to get new trophies as your collection grows (you're more likely to get duplicates of the trophies you already own).

There should have been some mechanic to increase the odds of getting trophies you did not have, like the lottery did in Melee. As it stands, I have no real incentive to play the coin launcher because I have almost every trophy in the game and playing the coin launcher for hours for a minimal chance of getting one new trophy is not worth it. If I could sacrifice coins to increase the odds of getting new trophies, that'd be great. It'd still take shooting them, mind you, but the implementation of that concept from Melee would be great. Even if it were something as silly as using 500 coins to increase the odds of new trophies appearing, it'd be worth it.

As it is now, I'd rather just romp through SSE on Intense.
