Trinket

A trinket (or shiny trinket) is a round shiny collectible item in VVVVVV. There are 20 in total in the main game, and collecting all of them will unlock the Secret Lab.

Trinkets are usable in custom levels; before 2.3, only 20 were able to be placed at a time, with undefined behaviour occurring when additional trinkets were placed. Starting with 2.3, up to 100 trinkets may be placed at a time. In custom levels, scripts can check the player's trinket count and jump to another script accordingly, thus allowing for progression based on amount of trinkets collected.
