Medals
Medals are collectable though elusive tokens found in both Blinx games that can unlock special movies and items as the player collects them.
Blinx: The Time Sweeper
"Time Sweepers have also reported strange cat-shaped icons, whose purpose as yet remains unknown."
— Time Factory Worker's Safety Guide, Blinx: The Time Sweeper
In Blinx: The Time Sweeper, they come in 4 different colours; red, blue, silver, and gold. There are 80 Cat Medals hidden throughout the entire game. Most levels have three cat medals but a few of them have four. Boss levels, however, do not have any cat medals.
Although it is not necessary to collect cat medals to progress through the game, they unlock prizes, which are usually short clips of Tom Toms doing stunts or concept art. Collecting every single one will unlock the TS-X7, a special sweeper that can sweep up any type of trash very quickly, attacks with fire and ice, and sweeps fire, water, and sand. The TS-X7 costs 90,000G and is available at the Round 9 shop.
They are sometimes found in chests but are usually hidden in the open, amongst trash or behind massive weights that require a Lv. 3 Sweeper to sweep out of the way. A few medals also require the use of specialised Sweepers that can sweep up water and fire to access them, such medals being found in Déjà Vu Canals and Forge of Hours respectively.
Meow Mix: According to Microsoft, earlier versions of TTS called the medals "Meows".

Blinx 2: Masters Of Time And Space
There are 80 medals to collect in the entire game. Two more colours have been added; green and purple (purple seemingly being the rarest of them all).
Cat Medals
In Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, the number of Cat Medals in the rounds have been increased to six. Most of them can be acquired in 1P mode, the rest only being available in 2P Co-Op mode and Jimmy's shop. Successfully collecting them all will unlock the TS-X9 LV3.
Pig Medals
Pig Medals are exclusive to the Tom Tom Gang, only found in Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space. There are six of them in every round and they come in the six different colours. Unlike the Time Sweepers, 2P mode is not required to collect any Pig Medals, however, like some of the Cat Medals, some of these medals can only be acquired at Carlos' Shop after accepting and completing preset challenges there. Successfully collecting all 40 Pig Medals will unlock the Satellite Laser.
