In this game, similar to {{wp|Minesweeper (Computer Game)|Minesweeper}}, coins are not wagered against a win or a loss, but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, unlike the case with the European release of Pokémon Platinum, the change in the Game Corners' interior design removed the ability of coins to be purchased in bulk, making playing Voltorb Flip the only possible way to get coins. Additionally, due to the change, the location of the [[Coin Case]] was changed in the international versions, and is now given directly by the man in charge of the Game Corner. | ||
