This article is about the currency of the base-game, and should not be confused withStarry Coin.

Star Coins are objects which serve as a form of currency and a means ofscoring inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition. They take the place ofPoint Stars from previous main-seriesKirby games, and have a similar appearance and function, though with the following key differences: Star Coins are not exchanged for1-Ups (since 1-Ups do not exist inKirby and the Forgotten Land), and instead are spent inWaddle Dee Town to obtain various things, and they do not cap off at 100, instead continuing to accumulate through the course of the game with a cap of 99999. Every regular stage andStarry Stage also keeps track of the highest amount of Star Coins Kirby has obtained in a single playthrough of the stage.

Star Coins can be found in a variety of places and earned via various actions, including the following:

• Finding them out in the open or inside stagedevices likecontainers,Pop Flowers, or foliage.
• Obtaining them from defeated enemies.
• Obtaining them from cages that previously heldWaddle Dees, and from already collectedBlueprints,Rare Stones, andPieces of Leon's Soul.
• Earning 50 for completing a stage (or 10 for completing a Treasure Road stage) inWild Mode.
• Obtaining them from usingamiibo.
• Obtaining them fromSub-Games.
• Clearing target times inTreasure Road stages.
• Finding them by searching around theWorld Map.
• Obtaining them by redeemingPresent Codes atWaddle Dee-liveries.
• Reward for making progress through and clearing cups in theColosseum.

Star Coins also appear inStar-Crossed World in the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game, where they can be found in Starry Stages alongsideStarry Coins.

Denominations[edit]

There are four main denominations of Star Coin, which are analogous to Point Stars in previous main-series titles, as follows:

• Yellow - worth 1 Star Coin
• Green - worth 5 Star Coins
• Red - worth 10 Star Coins
• Blue - worth 30 Star Coins

Additionally, piles of Star Coins can be found, which are worth varying amounts depending on their size and composition. Bags containing large amounts of Star Coins can also be obtained in certain instances, such as rewards for Present Codes or via rewards in theColosseum. Star Coins can also appear as rings duringArch Mouth flying sections, where yellow rings are worth 5 coins, and red rings are worth 20.

Spending Star Coins[edit]

Star Coins are spent in Waddle Dee Town on the following things:

• Food at theWaddle Dee Café
• Power-up items atWaddle Dee's Item Shop
• Evolved Copy Abilities and Copy Ability upgrades atWaddle Dee's Weapons Shop (also requiresRare Stones andBlueprints)
• Capsulefigures fromGotcha Machine Alley
• Donate tothe Deedly Dees (unlocks more songs)
• Retry boss fights in the first three cups of theColosseum (see notes on being defeated below)

Additionally, whenever Kirby is defeated, 100 Star Coins are subtracted from his total. When Kirby loses in the Meta Knight Cup, The Ultimate Cup, or The Ultimate Cup Z in theColosseum, he can spend Star Coins to continue (the price increases for each subsequent defeat) and restart from the last battle, but the timer resumes from the time he was defeated. If Kirby loses in aTreasure Road stage, then he will not lose any Star Coins, but will be forced to start over.

Trivia[edit]

• Collected Star Coins only add to Kirby's total if he completes the stage where he collected them. This rule also applies to deductions incurred by being KO'd, so if Kirby is KO'd multiple times in a single stage, it may be advisable for the player to restart the stage in order to get those coins back.
  • If Kirby does lose a lot of coins in a stage, then upon returning to Waddle Dee Town, a present will be waiting next toKirby's House. If Kirby talks toElfilin near this present, he will explain that the Waddle Dees will help Kirby regain "roughly half" of his lost coins if he loses too many.
