I happen to know for a fact that some blue coins can only be gained in certain missions. Some only appear in later missions, while others are visible but can't be reached until a later mission. I must say a nice "numberCollected/maximumInLevel" would be better than just "numberCollected" when showing blue coins. For that matter, DK64 had one annoyance in that to this day I STILL don't know for certain if I have collected all the coins because I don't know the maximums to stack what I got up against. This goes for Banjo Kazooie and the mumbo tokens. It also goes for Jet Force Gemini and the ammo capacity upgrades. I would prefer it if games all told me if I had obtained it all.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
