In fact, this machine is an incredible coin hog. Here in C-U you pay one token for 600 health, which maybe lasts 2 minutes (or as little as a couple seconds) on levels below 8 where you are getting random levels from the same set of 20 or so. It is a blast to play 4 player, but you run out of tokens in a hurry.
