Pelted with 500-yen coins for calling Exchanger and Debtmiser "the Cheetahmen of versus puzzle game characters"
The voice-actor fell down a trapdoor part 2
*tries difficulty level 8 with Exchanger instead of Debtmiser* Christ almighty Debtmiser is just so freaking worse than Exchanger
HEY! I have now 1CC'd this game FOR A THIRD TIME, but now on max difficulty!!
My observations are that the difficulty levels only really serve to make the earlier stages much harder, with little noticeable difference later on. Still very time-consuming!

Money Idol Exchanger is actually pretty fun once you can go just fast enough to stay in the chain window… Much less stressful than Panel De Pon, mainly because it's not possible for matches to go longer than 1 minute unless both sides are either doing 12+ chains or 0 chains.
It's kinda funny how I keep trying and bouncing off Magical Drop because I can't grok the "match 3 only vertical" rule + the ice orb conversion rule, but am quite happy with Money Idol Exchanger, the shameless clone, because it only has "match 2 or 5 any way" like in Petal/Puyo.
Doing 1CCs of arcade games (in contrast to ports or arcade-inspired home games) really pushes the core design of these games outside their intent, by finding and creating consistency out of something designed to be inconsistent (both in the game, and in availability of the game).
Taking arcade 1CCs seriously is pretty funny when you think about it… like, for Money Idol Exchanger, the difficulty curve is truly absurd and the final boss fight is deliberately incredibly unfair, but… you can, with effort, just "learn the matchup" and become better than it.
*think's with a grocer's apostrophe about the name "Coquetry Bouncer"* Brilliant. Exquisite. Exactly what people mistakenly think Touhou names are like.
New 1CC!!

Gaming mystery solved! I've now figured out why in Money Idol Exchanger I kept sometimes accidentally unlocking the haniwa from Hany In The Sky (1989)! Turns out the secret is to enter the score attack mode, then hold down 1P Start before dismissing the explanation demo!
Losing last
Yeah! A legitimate 8-line attack!!
No idea what the CPU was doing in this one
Attack lines ("A-Lines") are only related to how many coins are cleared in a chain (similar to Petal Crash) so stockpiling and preserving groups is relatively important in contrast to actual chain length.
