However, this guide won’t cover where and how to grab them all. Note: Throughout this walkthrough these eggs will be referenced a handful of times, mainly as visual indicators to make sure that you’re following the correct path.
There isn’t an achievement for collecting these, but feel free to pick it up anyways by walking over it to collect (they are too fragile for your trash collector). Toward the back of this area is a pink egg, one of Kiwi the parrot’s lost Nest Eggs. The third area of Sandy Island is Rhino Rock. I finished Tax Creek with 149 coins in the bank and 16 tax credits in the Tax Machine. When you get the “Area Cleared” message and have done a final sweep for any missed coins around the vegetation you’ve cleared, then purchase the next area for 100 coins. The anteaters can’t really be fed this way so just focus on coconuts for the crabs and bamboo for the red pandas. The counter in the upper left of your screen will tell you how many you have left to save in this area, which includes bursting them to collect their coins. Once you’ve cleaned Tax Creek, including the small area on the other side of the pond, help the Bankimals eat their fill by collecting and shooting their desired food at them.
By collecting this Tax Token (suck it out of the Tax Machine with ) and shooting it into the full Recycling Machine you’ll have earned your first achievement: At this point the Recycling Machine will direct you to use a Tax Token. Before you can collect and use your first Tax Token, you’ll want to clean off the nearby Recycling Machine and then shoot litter into it until it’s full. Access the funds by interacting with the Tax Machine, which is the large purple guy on the right wall from where you entered Tax Creek. You can use these funds to do things like empty the island Recycling Machines. Once you clear the first palm tree in this area, thus granting you a coin, you’ll be introduced to Tax Bot who takes 10% of the coins you collect to help maintain and improve the island. You’ll now have access to Tax Creek and as soon as you’ve entered some pesky Litterbugs create a rockfall and trap you in this new area.
Now go back to Kiwi Cove and purchase the next area for 70 coins.
You want to make sure you always deposit any coins you have since there are two achievements related to total deposited coins. By the time I cleared Kiwi Cove and the second area Cave East (the cave with the snails next to the Coin Deposit Machine) I had collected and deposited 75 coins. They would still eat on their own, but this helps fatten them up quicker. As you clean up the litter and goop and new Bankimals appear, you can speed up their feeding process by sucking up the plant food and then shooting it at the ground in front of them. You’ll need to make a pin (I just used – don’t steal my money please lol).
Right across the bridge you’ll meet the Coin Deposit Machine and create a new bank account. Just make sure it’s in the same range and that you unlocked any and all achievements listed to that point. If your numbers don’t match exactly, don’t worry. Note: Throughout the game I’ll list my totals after each area (except for a few that I forgot to record my totals). I finished Kiwi Cove with 52 coins in total. Before you head over, look around for any coins left by the base of trees you cleaned. A short cutscene will play where the crabs you’ve saved have created a new land bridge to the next area. After clearing Kiwi Cove, the first area of Sandy Island, a Caretaker Bot will appear and state that they’ll take care of the now cleared area. When you’ve done that, you’ll get a nice “Area Cleared” message. Follow the steps Kiwi gives you and finish cleaning the area and rescuing the Bankimals here. Your progress in any given area is tracked in the upper left portion of the screen where it shows your current tasks. This tutorial is pretty explanatory of the gameplay and also rigid in that it doesn’t allow you to start doing your own thing you must complete the steps provided. You will begin in Kiwi Cove, with Kiwi the parrot as your guide through a tutorial of sorts. Welcome to Sandy Island, Bionaut! This is the first of three islands you must help save by cleaning up litter to give the friendly “Bankimals” back their habitat.
