The steps thing is so mundane they may as well just let you play the things for nothing.

Its not about walking around with your 3DS to gain coins but having the coins to persuade you to take the system with you. It helps get people to see the system in the wild and also helps with streetpass because the more people out with there 3DS the more interaction that can occur.

This then makes people want to take their system out more often amd thus the circle continues and Nintendo profits. It's actually quite ingenious.

Yeah well the likehood of getting mugged means that is a stupid idea someone at Nintendo had, especially in the case on kids and young teens. 

But they'd then have to buy another 3DS = more profit :p
