So you're strapped for cash in . There are many reasons you might need to make a quick buck: for one thing, there's a pretty early story beat where you need to gather $10,000 relatively quickly in order to upgrade your ship and access Madlantis, home to some of 's best mini-games.
Maybe you've been struggling with a difficult battle, and want to upgrade your abilities. Or maybe you just spent your last dime trying to win a rare plushie from the UFO Catcher.
The fact of the matter is, money talks in — it's functionally the only resource you can collect and spend. (Points store and the Golden Ball mini-game excluded.) There are no experience points, no traditional leveling system, and no lines of credit — it's just you and all the money in your pocket against the world.
So, if you need to line your pockets quickly in, here are a few of the best ways to do so. The easiest way to make thousands of dollars quickly in is to take on bounties, which can be found in virtually every part of the map.
You unlock bounties pretty early on in the story, during Chapter Two, right after you're turned away from Madlantis for the first time.
