Awards, badges, medals, and big trophies are bland and a stupid idea. The trophies were unique and they had more variety. They were more rewarding than regular bland medals, and badges would ever be. The trophies also had cool curiosities, like the Yoshi's Island level reflecting off of the Metal Mario trophy. Or the third eye on the Daisy trophy. Or the phrase 2L84ME on the bottom of the Barrel Cannon trophy. You won't find that on a medal or a regular trophy or a badge.
