In bothKirby 3D Rumble andKirby's Blowout Blast, coins are scattered across the stage, and earn points when collected. Unlike the coins in other titles, the ones found here are squarish, similar to the cuboid nature of the stages themselves. Coins here come in three types, though their point values differ across both games; bronze coins are worth 100 points, silver coins are worth 300 points in the former and 500 points in the latter, and gold coins are worth 500 points in the former and 3000 points in the latter.
