This allows the player to achieve an instant boost of coins when this power up is achieved. It can appear more than once a game which will allow the player to continue to boost their points. The second type of power up you can achieve is the coin magnet. The coin magnet allows player to attract coins to the runner while running throughout the course. While a player is using the coin magnet power up the player attracts all of the coins that are on the course. The next two power ups go hand in hand, since one makes the player invisible and the other one causes the player to have a 1000 meter boost while being invisible. The final power up allows the player to increase point value of the coins after a certain distance run.
Other than simple power ups player are also allowed to purchase perks that allow them to regenerate after death and that allow them to get a boost at the beginning of the map.
