Starting out, the characters are what they are. You do get the chance to change their names, which is better than nothing, but that’s it. Once you start seeing coins come in, you can buy other hair, beards, glasses, shirts, shoes, and bottom wear, some of which can drastically change your look. Strangely absent is the ability to change hair/beard colors, so you have to play Mix-n-match to get something that works without looking like a circus clown. Unless you were actually going for circus clown in which case no judgement here! You earn coins through playing the mini-games, however, the side activities also award coins. If you have the patience for it, you could simply catch bugs for a while and have enough to go shopping. The payouts feel small, but they add up over time. There were very few times after I got a good start where I would run into something I couldn’t afford. It’s not difficult to earn coins, just time-consuming.
