Right, seriously… how the hell do you get Bonus Plan. Its all I need to 100% this game, apart from the gold, but that will unlock as soon as I get Bonus Plan anyway. I played through the entire first zone collecting every god damn coin I possibly could, and then half of the second doing the same thing, until finally losing all my lives. That second zone is a nob, and if I have to finish the whole game in one sitting just to get those 200 coins, it aint going to happen. The beginning of the game is too fucking tedious and boring to try over and over. And it's a bronze! WTF

I've been assuming it's a cumulative 200 over all your games.  Like the collect 5 skulls one was.  I was surprised the bonus levels counted towards Minuteman!

I've played the first zone on single player over 6 times. I only got the skull thing on the 6th time, and I had collected loads of skulls before then. But If its cumulative, 6 times of playing adds up to way more than 200 coins, considering there are 4 bonus rounds per zone and you collect about 20 coins each time. On top of the 3 or 4 you get per level too.

I'm not playing the game enough then.  I did the first zone in two games, the second restarting where I finished the first one.  Then I restarted a game from the beginning and have been working my way through all the levels, quitting out, and then continuing from the option on the main menu.  Almost at the end of the second zone now.  Haven't got my 200 coins trophy yet.  Maybe freezebug knows the answer.  He seemed to rocket through the game pretty quickly over the weekend.

andytorr is right about the coins its about level 16 in zone 2 that you should have 200;not that ive got it yet.Was rocketing through then came an abrupt halt at 50% trophies.The 25 levels in a row is gonna have me breaking a controller lol managed 21 with light swearing.I think i'll get the Morris dancer one and the millionaires club but the 200 coins…don't know theres no running total to see your progress on them through the levels.

Getting to 1,000,000 isn't too bad as you don't have to get it in one sitting.  If you quit out of the game via the pause menu, you can jump back in where you left off via the continue option on the main menu.  It keeps your score from the previous session.  Doesn't seem to work for the other trophies where you have a target to reach (except for the 500,000 one I guess) otherwise I would have the 25 levels in a row and 200 coins.  And if you restart a level via the pause menu, you restart with all the lives you had when you started the level, so that'll help towards the Morris Dancer one.

[EDIT: Sorry sc4tt3rbr4in, just saw your comment above and realise I've repeated some of what you said.  Damn having to use a small screen.  But you can't use continues to get the 25 levels trophy, otherwise I'd have it by now.  On my current play through I've gone from 1-1 to 2-22 (so far) using continues and haven't got the 25 levels trophy.]

Congrats.  Any tips for saving the knight.  That trophy is driving me nuts at the moment.

50 in a row

Complete 50 Levels in a Row.    (Gulp…<< that's me btw)

As You Wish

No one should hinder true love.Find the lovers and make those around them go away.

50 in a row!  Now they're starting to take the piss.  2 hours grinding for a bronze?!

As you wish.  Bloody great.  I can't save the knight and now they'll want me to save two characters!

Magic Ball's a moderately fun game to stick on and play a level of from time to time, but if I was to try for 50 in a row, I think I'd be sick of the game by the end of it.
