One interesting aspect of collecting coins in a platformer like mario: it makes the level stateful. You can see if you've been somewhere before based on whether there are coins present.

Arbitrary code execution to convert Super Mario to Flappy Bird, done entirely by hand on a real device! https://youtu.be/hB6eY73sLV0 The first exploit modifies the UI to show exact sprite co-ordinates (used for the payload), then the new game is 331 bytes written with spin jumps!
