There’s something interesting about how Woah Dave! handles coins. When you die for the final time, coins left on the field remain there until you start again. That means you could essentially die and leave 15 coins on the field, only to start a new round by picking them all up to start with and beginning with 15 coins. There’s more information in the video above!
