They can be used for a collectable, you could make them star coins like in main Mario games, or can be used as an additional currency.
Their are many ways to spoil a player for collecting them, you can do some great stuff with the Collectable Lock like give a power-up or open a secret path.
They can also be integrated with animations to do stuff like give collectables even if they don't exist.
You can also hide them by editing the text.txt and setting the appropriate collectable from F to T. this will hide the collectable from showing on the UI. this can be used as an proper integer for many uses.
