    Update 2.2 gives that vibe that you're experiencing the game as if brand new, which can help an almost decade-old game feel fresh again.

  • @Dolphin002
    @Dolphin002 2 years ago +267

    I like the first coin in Dash. I didn't even notice the glow in the last block, so it felt more like an actual puzzle. My reasoning was that the red blocks drop the big spike thing on you instead of immediately killing you, so if you hit the last one you may be able to barely get by without dying.

    • @dinkle.1
      @dinkle.1 2 years ago +13

      thats not how you're meant to find it but ok
      if you drop to where the coin seems to be hidden you'll see a submarine type thing in the background right above the coin in the ground. it has 4 yellow cubes and 1 red cube at the end. This shows that you're supposed to hit the yellow cubes and one red one at the end

    • @JosherIsFun

    Fun Fact: Dash’s first coin is like that because in the sneak peek’s layout, the block that originally gave the coin was a safe block instead, so the coin was a callback to the teaser

  • @timdurkin5538
    @timdurkin5538 2 years ago +43

    I actually really like the first coin in Dash. It's meant to match the music sync, which I think makes it super unique. However, it does kind of make it difficult to find when the practice mode music is playing. However, in normal gameplay, it actually works really well. Now it feels weird to go past that part without getting the coin because you're going against the sync.

  • @bruex2277
    @bruex2277 2 years ago +33

    22:23 I actually really like this coin. I think the blue glow is very noticeable (i found it on my first playtrough of the level) and to get to the secret wall the player must understand how to use orbs both ways, which is something that was just taught to the player by using the pink orb.
    Or maybe I'm reading way to hard into that coin and RobTop just rushed the coin and put no thought into it.

Hopefully you see this before you make your 2.2 coins tier list and at least give it a little higher rating

  • @erikfassett
    @erikfassett 2 years ago +33

    One thing about the first coin of Dash I want to mention: I actually figured it out because, due to how the red blocks kill you (by forcing the spike ceiling to go down), the last red block couldn't possibly kill you as you'd get out from under the ceiling before it could kill you. So I felt it was at least somewhat clever as I figured it out through thinking about how the level's hazards work and how something that seemed like it should be a hazard logically wouldn't be after thinking it through.
