Enjoy exploring many different courses During the train’s journey, the “Random Change Button” will appear. Tap it to randomly change your train’s formation temporarily. There are three types: “Complete Shinkansen,” “Complete Local Train,” and “Mixed.” You can view trains that include cars not in your collection. Sometimes tapping the button will also earn you coins. Coins and hearts will pop out of the train—make sure to grab them We also plan to add cargo trains, steam locomotives, and maglev trains in the future. All types of train cars in the Train Box—whether front, middle, or rear—are randomly selected with equal probability. We will continue adding new cars, so please look forward to future updates You can earn coins to open Train Boxes via login bonuses, arriving at stations, or watching ad videos. Complete a loop around the course to earn hearts based on the number of stations stopped at. Hearts can be exchanged for coins.
