Because an X2 Animal Token will instantly double the player's amount of Mini Animal Tokens, it is practical to touch the level's X2 Animal Token just before time runs out, when the player should have collected as many Mini Animal Tokens as possible beforehand. Knowing the locations of the the four X2 Animal Tokens is one thing, but planning a strategy to reach them with a lot of Mini Animal Tokens before the [[Time Limit]] expires is something else. When the Time Limit expires, the player's Mini Animal Tokens will be exchange for [[Extra Life|Extra Lives]], at the exchange rate of one life per one-hundred tokens, which makes taking advantage of the X2 Animal Token a big incentive.
