While catching fish, players will also come across a different type of currency, green Treasure Tokens. You can trade this in Big the Cat's shop to purchase different items that aid Sonic's adventure. For instance, you can trade essential items like +20 Lost Koco, +100 Rings, +50 Skill Pieces, Red Seed of Power, Blue Seed of Defense, Portal Gear, and several other items. Exploration is a major part of the game, and you'll come across several Purple Coins while simply roaming across the map. Players can also get Purple Coins during a Starfall Event, usually at night. You must collect the fallen star fragments and spin the slot machine to get a chance to acquire more Purple Coins.
