  • DS | Submitted by dog digger

    Shake the trees with the DS stylus and coins will fall out (note: if you want to get more coins go to another tree and shake it. Then go back to the tree you shook before and there will be another coin in the tree).

    Cracking the wall

    Go down to the beach and touch a coconut tree with your stylus. Pull one of the trees back and release it. You can make three cracks in the wall. Coins will fall down after you hit all three cracks with the coconut. Then collect them quickly because the coins will appear which can quickly disappear after about ten seconds.
