There's a prompt in the lower left after you beat a level. Yes, you'll have the money. To get to the next level you need to land on a 1 panel and the wheel itself (at least in the first world) has four 1 panels and two other panels. The panels cost 150 each and there's way more than 300 coins per level. I haven't started world 2 yet so I have no clue if the wheel changes.
Thanks. Then the level select wheels seem like they won't be much trouble. I don't understand why it was included anyway. Seems like it would have been better to let you go in a linear fashion until the world was beat and then offer a random selector for when you are redoing levels or finishing them up to get all the secrets. The reverse just pads out the game's length needlessly and seems frustrating when you can't progress because you keep missing a level you haven't done yet.
I have this pre-ordered at gamestop so I think I'll still pick it up. I've never played a Chibi-Robo game so I don't have any built in expectation or dislike for the change in genre. Though from the Gamexplain video it seems like they still try to include some of the finding items aspect from the other games. I'm looking at this as a $20ish game that includes a nice look amiibo anyway. So hopefully I end up enjoying it. The whip like combat is really what is interesting me. Not enough of that in games.
