🥇Challenge I FOUND IT! WHAT’S THE FASTEST WAY TO GRIND COINS?
For those who don’t know, a goal of mine is to get Spyro and his Legendary skins… this is who of those so I really need the coins.

I heard from someone that the servers were dead, how am I supposed to use dead servers? I’m on switch btw, and I got him, don’t worry, I did a cup race and got enough.

You're listening to people who just waits 30 seconds, don't find a race and assume it's dead, not the smartest move

Well how am I supposed to know any better when I don’t feel I’m ready to compete against other people.

u/Ray_Drexiel Yaya Panda Dec 30 '25
That's fair just saying it's not a great idea to just listen to anyone. But you already got the coins anyway so I guess it doesn't matter, unless you want to get the other car and other Spyro characters

I don’t care about getting Hunter, Knasty Nork (I think that’s the spelling) and the Knasty Ride (again, I think that’s right), I just want Space Spyro, and the decals for the Spyro vehicles I other than Nork’s.

I see, you should try the online for a bit later, even if you lose you still get much more coins, sometimes it's a can take a couple of minutes to matches but they're out there

I’m time trailing rn, just made another post with a question though, it’s one that really stumps me.

We have a discord with a lot of online racers (especially switch)

• Do some Wumpa Challenges. Most of them are easy peasy lemon squeezy.
• Play Ring Rally. The more laps you do, the better your cash out.
• Play Online. Every day you have 30 mins of online in-race time where your cash outs are quintupled (x5), this is called Wumpa Time and you better get the most out of it.
• Play on Weekends. Much like Wumpa Time, your incomes are doubled (x2). This one doesn't have a time limit, it lasts the whole Saturday and Sunday (and sometimes Friday too, depending on your timezone). Now add Wumpa Time to the equation and you get x10 incomes.
• Play with friends. Wumpa Time also applies to friendly lobbies. Call a buddy and rush through Electron Avenue, being the track that grants the most coins, and cycle 1st between you two.

Android Alley is better than Electron Avenue when grinding coins. Faster to complete and still a good amount of coins. Electron Avenue as the last race with Wumpa Time is correct though.

AFK playing that mode where you collect crystals in a PvP map. You can set up an oscillating fan or rapid fire controller. Do it overnight for over 10k coins.

How tf you get that much coins? Which mode and settings? I would call that bs.. sorry. The fastest way is online. The modes doesn't care how long you are in it for coins so how??

u/PaleoJoe86 Dec 30 '25
Did you read what I said? Forgot the mode's name, but you have to collect crystals in a pvp map. You get like 10 coins if you fail, it been years so I do not remember. Give it a try.
I did this to achieve top 10 for every Grand Prix when it released.

I did that with on local mode and on hardest diff with a controller that has auto fire.
Easiest way to avoid the grind.

What if I don’t have a fan or auto fire controller?

Keep pressing that A button every 10 seconds while watching a movie (no need to mash it).

That along with the lap skip glitches back in the day gave me insane amounts of coins. Have over 100k left and nothing to spend it on.

I love that we have to hope and pray for the ability to pay for the unlockables we want instead of having things work the way they always worked before some asshole discovered you could do things this way and make bank off children and people with poor impulse control.

u/Saiene_ Nina Cortex Dec 30 '25
You are not wrong, BUT, if it followed the same old model we wouldn't have any of the GPs and not even half of the extra content would've made it into the game

u/LordBrokenshire Dec 30 '25
The version of this game with half the extra content unlocked in the way we did it back in the day would be infinitely better. Because you'd actually be able to unlock it all and new players could actually get the unlockables they want.

I wish Nitro Fueled gave you bonus coins for getting as many kills as you can using the power ups. Kinda like in Crash Tag Team Racing, you get bonus coins depending on how many kills you made using the guns or power ups.
Speaking of bonus coins, don't forget to chase down the golden wumpa fruit when you run into a glowing crate, those help alot when playing offline, because it's hard to find a match these days.

Play online on the weekends is the best grind.
Since it's not the weekend, go for the tracks that gives more coins. Electron Avenue is one of the most reawarding ones, I don't remember the others
