Coins are the main currency of theMushroom Kingdom, and a common collectable item in many games of theSuper Mario franchise. Coins have varying effects depending on the game type: In platformer games, they increase a player'sscore and grantextra lives; in racing games, they increase speed and recovery times; and in role-playing games and a few other games, they can be used to purchase items. The yellow or golden variety is the most common throughout the series, and is part of a family of multicolored coins that comprisesRed Coins andBlue Coins among others, each with varying properties depending on game appearance. TheSuper Mario coin is most consistently depicted with the Roman numeral "I" stamped on both of its faces, though its design has fluctuated, prominently featuring a star in some games andYoshi's face in titles starring him.

Coins inMario Bros. emerge from a pipe after defeating an enemy.[1] Coins can be obtained by either touching them or hitting them as they slide along thefloor, earning the player 800 points as a dollar sign displays briefly. Coins are also in bonus stages, where the player character has the goal of collecting ten suspended midair within thetime limit, earning a perfect bonus multiplier if they succeed.
VS. Wrecking Crew /Wrecking Crew[edit]
In thebonus stages ofVS. Wrecking Crew, the object of the player is to find the hidden coin within the time limit. In two-player mode, players compete in searching for the coin, and the portWrecking Crew featuresForeman Spike as the rival.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros. /Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels /Super Mario Bros. Deluxe[edit]
Coins are the most common items inSuper Mario Bros.,Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and theirport, appearing hidden inside ofblocks and in midair in everylevel. Coins are worth 200 points when collected. Collecting 100 coins gives Mario anextra life.[2]
Super Mario Bros. 2 /Super Mario Advance[edit]
Coins inSuper Mario Bros. 2 appear only inSubspace from pluckinggrass,[3] and they are used in theBonus Chance game after thelevel.
Theremake introducesAce Coins, five of which are obtainable in every level.
Super Mario Bros. 3 /Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Coins inSuper Mario Bros. 3 retain the same basic purpose as inSuper Mario Bros., rewarding an extra life when 100 are collected.[4] There areSwitch Blocks, which turnBrick Blocks into coins and vice versa, sometimes also causingBlue Coins to appear. Coins are also in the 2-Player battle mode, where the player who collects five wins.[5] In theFamily Computer andNES version only,a dollar sign ($) at the bottom of the screenMedia:SMB3 HUD coin counter.png represents any coins collected.
AnOrange Switch e-Reader card appears inthe remake, and activating it turns any enemy hit byfireballs into coins. Coins are worth double if hit by thrown objects likeIce Blocks. There are alsoAdvance Coins inWorld-e levels only, and they function like the Dragon Coins inSuper Mario World.
Super Mario Land[edit]
Coins inSuper Mario Land often appear inMystery Blocks and mostly secret stashes or bunches.
Coins have a different sound effect than the usual one introduced inSuper Mario Bros., being a lower-pitched version of theGame Boy start-up sound.
Super Mario World /Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]
- “YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!”
- —Coins message inFunky,Super Mario World
The coins ofSuper Mario World function similarly as the previous games, but they can now spawn from enemies defeated from fireballs byFire Mario orYoshi. Jumping on a yellowKoopa Troopa also forces a coin to appear from its shell.[6]Control Coins are coins that can be manipulated into moving to certain directions. Everything that Yoshiswallows also count towards Mario's coin total.
The game adds a few varieties of coins:Gray Coins, which some enemies turn into when aGray P Switch is active;Bonus Coins, ten of which can be collected from aYoshi Cloud for a1-Up Mushroom;Dragon Coins, where collecting all of them in a level rewards an extra life; andPeach Coins, which replace Dragon Coins after obtaining all of them in theremake only.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[edit]
Coins have the same typical role while platforming inSuper Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, but they can also be spent at agambling minigame for extra lives and power-ups.
Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
Coins, also namedYellow Coins,[7][8] are common inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS but have noticeable differences. Coins now have a star-shaped symbol, and the remake changes them from animated 2D sprites into octagonal-like 3D models. A coin appears from any defeated enemy. They restore Mario's lost health and his oxygen supply while underwater. Every 50 coins earns Mario an extra life while tallying Mario's score after returning toMushroom Castle, while collecting 100 in one of the main courses causes aPower Star to appear directly above Mario.Yoshi can stick out his tongue andswallow coins to obtain them in the remake only. The highest number of coins collected in a course are tracked on the score screen.
There are alsoRed Coins, which are worth two coins, andBlue Coins, which are worth five coins.
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
The coins ofSuper Mario Sunshine function similarly to their appearance inSuper Mario 64: Fifty coins grant Mario an extra life,[9] though the extra life is granted immediately upon collecting the fiftieth coin instead of after exiting the level, and obtaining 100 coins spawns the game's main collectible item, aShine Sprite.[10] UnlikeSuper Mario 64's 100-coin Power Stars, the Shine Sprite now appears in a location unique to each level, and causes Mario to exit the level when collected. Both Red Coins and Blue Coins also make a reappearance, though they are no longer worth any regular coins.
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
The coins ofNew Super Mario Bros. are based on their appearance inSuper Mario World; they appear not only throughout levels but also by defeating enemies withfireballs.
Besides coins, there areRed Coins, which appear only in sets of eight from aRed Ring, and collecting them earns the player a power-up item or a 1-Up Mushroom. Blue Coins return, having the same role as inSuper Mario Bros. 3. The only debuting variety isStar Coins, which have to be collected in levels and spent onStar Coin Signs to unlock more areas of the map.
New Super Mario Bros. is the lastSuper Mario game to use the original 8-bit coin sound effect fromSuper Mario Bros. Subsequent games fromNew Super Mario Bros. Wii onwards would use the newer sound derived fromSuper Mario World andSuper Mario All-Stars variants.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Coins are much less common inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport in favor ofStar Bits. Besides returning methods, coins can now be obtained by shooting either flower buds or certain yellow spots on the ground, or by stomping an enemy. The top coin scores are tracked not only on the score screen like inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario Sunshine but also per eachmission of a galaxy.
The game adds two coin varieties:? Coins, which are large coins that cause a random effect to occur, andPurple Coins, where 100 of them have to be collected in certain missions for a Power Star, something that coins can no longer do.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Coins return inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii along withRed Coins,Dash Coins,Blue Coins, andStar Coins. Coins have mostly the same role, but someflowers located in the background release coins when spun next to. In his boss fight,Kamek's magic can sometimes turn platforms into coins.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Coins are much more common inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 than the predecessor. They still restore only a unit of health.[11] Like the 2D games, collecting 100 coins is required to obtain an extra life, though this only occurs when they are added to the total amount after each mission.[12] Mario can hold up to 9,999 coins in total.Hungry Lumas within galaxies now ask for coins instead of Star Bits. Top coin scores are no longer tracked in favor of a counter of the fastest time to each Star instead. Coins also refill a bit of Mario's air supply while underwater and give additional flight forBee Mario.
A particularly large rotating coin appears inSupermassive Galaxy, though as an environmental object for Mario to wall-jump off of to get on top of aMega ? Block.
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
Coins appear throughoutSuper Mario 3D Land, where collecting 100 rewards Mario or Luigi an extra life, like in the 2D games.[13] Coins take the role of points, hence why defeating enemies earns Mario coins directly, though sources where enemies spawn indefinitely, such asBaddie Boxes, stop rewarding coins after the third such enemy is defeated. Grabbing theGoal Pole earns the player coins except at the top, which is worth an extra life instead. By completing any level exceptWorld 8-
Bowser's Castle 2, the player earns one coin per every ten seconds remaining on thetimer. Five coins can be obtained by jumping throughcoin rings, which make their debut.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is themed around coin collecting, making coins exceptionally common. The title screen is affected by the total number of coins collected, with 1,000,000 coins adding a gold Mario statue and 9,999,999 coins replacing it with aRaccoon Mario statue. Coins become more accessible with the help of newly introduced power-ups:Gold Flowers, convertingBrick Blocks and enemies into them directly;Gold Blocks, which give coins as the player character moves automatically; andGold Rings, from which coins can be defeated from defeated enemies directly. There are also10 and100-Coin denominations, andRoulette Coin Blocks can give a different number of coins.
New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Coins reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. U, working as they do in the previous 2D games. Some levels feature coins falling on parachutes in groups of one to three. The game is the first appearance ofGreen Coins, which spawn fromGreen Rings.
Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
InSuper Mario 3D World andSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, coins work like they do inSuper Mario 3D Land. While the 2D games' scoring system returns, enemies still reward coins directly if stomped, clawed, or tail-whipped. The game also contains invisible coins, which can be revealed by passing through them or by using theWii U GamePad for the original version. Returning varieties includecoin piles, which are worth several coins and often appear in hidden areas;Gold Rings, which reward three coins (instead of five like before); andGreen Star Coins, where collecting eight reveals aGreen Star. One of thestamps bears the likeness of a coin.
Coins also appear inBowser's Fury, though since there is no lives system, collecting 100 coins earns the player a randompower-up instead:Super Bell,Super Mushroom,Boomerang Flower,Fire Flower,Super Leaf, or aSuper Star. Since version 1.1.0, collecting 100 coins before leavingFur Step Island only rewards a Super Mushroom.[citation needed]
Super Mario Maker /Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
Coins are placeable items inSuper Mario Maker andSuper Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. Since version 1.4.0, coins can be shook to become aPink Coin.
The American English description from theNintendo 3DS eShop incorrectly states that coins can be shot fromcannons.
Super Mario Run[edit]
InSuper Mario Run, coins reprise their role as minor collectables. However, they also replace score as a mechanic. Collecting a redundant power-up is worth 5 coins. Touching the Goal Pole is worth 1-10 coins, with more coins granted the higher the player reaches on the pole. Defeating enemies grants coins in a truncated version of the normal score chain, where the first enemy defeated in a chain grants one coin, the second enemy defeated grants two coins, and all further enemies grant four coins. Enemies can belevelled up by defeating them in the World Tour and Toad Rally modes. In Toad Rally, each level adds a single coin bonus for defeating that enemy. Enemies can be levelled up three times to get the maximum bonus of 3 coins. Some objects cause coins to start appearing when interacted with, likePause Blocks. Taking damage causes the player to drop five coins.
In World Tour mode, the highest number of coins collected in a single run of a course is tracked. This can be compared wit the highest number of coins the player's friends have collected in the same course. Completing a world, which actually means completing the last course in a world, each time except the first grants the player 100 coins from a treasure chest. This excludesWorld 6 andWorld ★.
In Toad Rally mode, players compete against the "ghost data" of other players, with coins serving as the score. However, theToads players convince to cheer for them during the run multiply the coins collected at the conclusion. Collecting coins additionally fills a meter that starts aCoin Rush when fill. During a Coin Rush, more coins will appear and the enemy scoring chain grants twice the number of coins. Collecting coins during a Coin Rush makes it last longer.
In Remix 10, a bubbled item will appear for every 100 coins collected (aSuper Mushroom if the player issmall, and aSuper Star if they areSuper). The coin counter resets when this happens.
In Kingdom Builder mode, some Toads carry coins for the player to collect. This is done by tapping on the Toad or thebuilding they are next to. Additionally, several buildings, like ? Blocks andBonus Game Houses, can be interacted with to receive coins. The coins collected in this mode, in World Tour, and in Toad Rally (excluding Friendly Runs) are added to a total used to buybuildings and decorations in the Shop. The recurring Loads of Coins event multiplies the coins received from Toad Rally by 1.5, but only if the player wins the Rally. The total number of coins ever collected is tracked as part of the Player Record.
Red Coins, worth one coin, and Blue Coins, worth two coins, return. They are accompanied by variouscolor coins, which includePink Coins,Purple Coins,Black Coins, and their ★ variations. Color coins are worth 10 coins, and different modes use them in different ways. Hidden Coins return, and are able to hide regular coins and color coins. Anew object similar to Hidden Coins is introduced, only it makes coins appear in a direction away from it.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
Coins return inSuper Mario Odyssey; however, rather than giving an extra life for every 100 collected (as lives are absent), or healing Mario (ashearts fulfill this role), they are instead used as a global currency in this game and can be spent on clothing,Power Moons, andLife-Up Hearts in theCrazy Cap stores spread across the kingdoms. Mario drops 10 coins each time he dies, which land in a circle around where this occurred. Coins that land in hazardous substances (such aspoison) or fall down pits vanish. Coins that land on the ground can be recollected, but they disappear if Mario dies again or if he goes through a transition to a different area. Coin rings, coin piles, and invisible coins can also be found. This game also introducesregional coins, which are purple and can only be spent in the kingdoms in which they are found.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Coins and Pink Coins both return as course elements inSuper Mario Maker 2, in addition to10-Coins,30-Coins, and50-Coins. Coins have an essential role in Story Mode, as Mario has to collect them to reconstructPeach's Castle.[14] Coins can beencased in ice as of version 2.0 but can be thawed with fire-based attacks or enemies.
Super Mario Bros. 35[edit]
Coins could be obtained and used for the Item Roulette inSuper Mario Bros. 35.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]
InSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, Coins act as they do in previous games. Their choppier spinning animation is similar to those found in older games, likeSuper Mario Bros. 3 andSuper Mario World.[15] During aWonder Effect, coins will dance to the music.Flower coins, as well as their10-Coin variant, are also introduced in this game.
Yoshi[edit]
Coins appear inYoshi after the player clears levels 25 through 27 of the B-Type game. Coins are worth 1,200 points when collected.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Super Mario Kart[edit]
Coins appear on each course inSuper Mario Kart. They increase the top speed ofkarts, going up to ten. Players drop either one, two, or four coins when they get hit by another driver or an item or go out of bounds. Coins also appear as items that give the player two extra coins when used.[16]
Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]
Coins increase top speed and weight inMario Kart: Super Circuit. Players are no longer limited to 10 coins, and the most they can obtain is 55,[17] since every course has 50 coins and the player can receive five coins at the start, depending on their position. A difference from before is that an alarm sounds if the player has either one or zero coins. Coins can be removed in Quick Run and VS mode.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
Coins appear only during certain missions ofMario Kart DS, with the goal being to collect all of them.[18] Contact with a hazard causes the player to drop coins.
Mario Kart Arcade GP 2[edit]
Coins are collectible during races inMario Kart Arcade GP 2. Much like inSuper Mario Kart, they can be gained by hitting opponents and increase the user's top speed.
Mario Kart Wii[edit]
Coins are the central focus of theCoin Runners battle game inMario Kart Wii, where players drive around to collect them, though being hit by an item causes them to lose coins. The team with the most coins wins,[19] specifically once the three minutes are up. There were online tournaments where players had to collect enough coins to complete a mission.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
Coins are located throughout every course inMario Kart 7, with up to ten coins being obtainable.[20] Coins increase the user's top speed,[20] like inSuper Mario Kart. A player who either falls off-course or get hit by an item drops three coins (excludingfireballs, which cause them to drop one coin instead). From this game onward, every 50 coins unlock kart parts for the player's vehicle. Coin Runners returns fromMario Kart Wii.
There is a glitch where the player can end the race with more than 10 coins, as long as they do not get hit before finishing, which will cause all coins exceeding the limit to be "destroyed".
Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
Coins return inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, serving the same purpose as inMario Kart 7, though the Coin Runners mode ofMario Kart 8 Deluxe allows players to hold more than ten coins. Coins are obtainable by completing races, Time Trials, online races, and (inMario Kart 8 Deluxe only) battles. Coins received by additional players are counted toward the player's total, though not inMario Kart 8 Deluxe. Besides appearing around courses, the Coin item returns fromSuper Mario Kart, working the same as before. An August 2014 update for the original game makes it possible to view how many coins are obtained collected through matches.
OnHyrule Circuit, coins are replaced with Rupees, onAnimal Crossing, they are replaced with Bells, and onUrchin Underpass, they are replaced withCash, the currencies of the series of origin (The Legend of Zelda,Animal Crossing, andSplatoon, respectively). OnMute City andBig Blue, coins are not present on the track, but are instead obtained either from driving over recharge strips on the track, knocking them out of rival racers, or from Item Boxes. On theYoshi's Island course featured in theMario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, coins use their design from theYoshi's Island games, depicting Yoshi's face on either side, and produce the same sound heard in those games when collected.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
Coins appear inMario Kart Tour, where they work in a similar manner to previous entries. In this game, the counter displays more than ten coins per race, like inSuper Mario Kart andMario Kart: Super Circuit, and coins from Item Boxes are automatically used. However, coins do not provide any speed advantages to the player during races. The player is given points for every coin they get in a race.Red andBlue Coins also appear inCoin Rush and various bonus challenges, and are worth two and five coins, respectively, as inSuper Mario 64. Up to 300 coins can be earned from races daily, or 600 if the user is subscribed to the Gold Pass. TheCoin Box item also releases many coins at once. The Coin Box+ boost also allows Red Coins to be released by the Coin Box. Coins can be used in the shop to buydrivers,karts,gliders,item tickets andpoint-boost tickets. Players can send Greeting Coins to their friends once every day, which gives them five coins. If a player does not collect the coins given by their friend, the coins will begin to stack.
During events, coins are usually replaced byevent tokens and Team Rally tokens. Some of the coins released from the Coin Box are also turned into event tokens. The Red Coins created by Coin Box+ boost are also replaced by event tokens.[21]
The following gliders increase the chance of getting coins from Item Boxes and points from collecting one.

                                  |
Mario Kart World[edit]
Coins also appear inMario Kart World, fulfilling their usual purposes, albeit unlocking whole karts instead of parts, due to the removal of kart customization.[22] The coin limit has also been increased from 10 to 20 in a race. For every 100 coins the player obtains, they unlock a new vehicle. The Coin item also returns. Players can get Coins from? Blocks, theCoin Shell, and the ? Block item, though all of these will also leave coins for other racers to collect.
Super Mario Bros. film[edit]
Although coins are not given an on-screen appearance in the 1993Super Mario Bros. film, they are alluded to by an elderly woman mugging the Mario Bros., referring to them as "Koopa Coins".
Wario Land series[edit]
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[edit]
InWario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Coins, also named1 Gold Coins,[23] work similarly as in theSuper Mario series. They can be obtained either in midair, in water, by defeating enemies with aBody Slam, or by destroyingblocks. Coins also have the10 Gold Coin variety, worth ten coins. Coins are spent on minigames after a level. One minigame involves guessing which of the two buckets has a money bag but not the 10-ton weight, which double and half the player's coin total, respectively.
Wario Land II[edit]
Wario Land II features regular, small coins, worth one total, and large Wario coins, worth ten. Coins are obtained through the same means as the predecessor. Defeating an enemy can rarely produce a silver coin worth 100 coins, playing a unique sound effect, or by throwing two enemies together. If Wario takes damage from an enemy, he loses coins. The player can spend either 50, 100, or 200 coins to play aminigame where tiles of enemies appear, and the more coins spent, the longer the tiles appear. Completing the minigame earns Wario treasure.
Wario Land 3[edit]
Regular gold coins inWario Land 3 are worth one coin, while gray, red, green, and blue coins are all worth 10.[24] Every level has eightMusical Coins, also worth ten, and can unlock a golf course. UnlikeWario Land II, coins can be obtained from blocks only, and Wario does not lose coins if hit by enemies. Regular coins are used to play a golf minigame in certain levels, and completing the minigame earns Wario treasures.
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
Coins commonly appear throughout each level in theYoshi's Island series, functioning similarly to their appearances in theSuper Mario series.Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island introducedred coins, which are disguised as regular coins in each level and will be exposed as red coins once the player collects them. As the player collects all red coins, the player will make the game closer to 100%completion. InSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (though not itsGame Boy Advance version), all coins on the background layer have a beige shading, while all on the sprite layer (including all disguised red coins) have an orange shading. InYoshi's Island DS, both coins and Red Coins retain the same purpose as before, and the game also introducedcharacter coins, which portray the baby character's head on them. Collecting the coins will give the player aminigame in the game'sHard Mode as a reward. Coins reappear inYoshi's New Island, functioning no differently than before.
UNDAKE30 Same Game[edit]
InUNDAKE30 Same Game, coins appear as one of the icons on the playing field.
Mario's FUNdamentals[edit]
InMario's FUNdamentals, coins appear in the Dominoes game on dominoes that are numbered 3.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
Coins are currency used for purchasing items, weapons, armor, and accessories inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake. Coins appear in small and large sizes, worth one and ten coins, respectively. The player can have up to 999 in the original and 9,999 in the remake. Coins are obtainable by either defeating enemies or obtaining them from chests. The game uniquely featuresFrog Coins, which serve as their own type of currency.
Mario Net Quest[edit]
Coins are worth 500 points when clicked from a floor tile inMario Net Quest.
Mario Party series[edit]
It has been requested that this section berewritten andexpanded to include more information.Reason: The method of earning/losing coins and the behavior of coins varies a lot from game-to-game. (tagged on August 2, 2025)
Coins are an integral element throughout theMario Party series, barring a few games such asMario Party 9 andMario Party: Island Tour, where coins are replaced by another currency,Mini Stars. Without coins, the player usually cannot purchaseStars, the main items in order to win, or items that can help the player or hinder opponents, although there are ways to acquire both without needing coins, which vary by game.
Coins can be acquired by landing on aBlue Space, certainEvent Spaces,DK Spaces, and exchanged in some actions from theChance Time Space. Also, ten coins are given when the game begins. At the end of every turn, a minigame plays, and the winner ofminigame receives 10 coins, while losers gain nothing, or in the later installments, a decreasing amount depending on their placement. During Coin minigames, players keep the coins they collect. Coins can also be acquired via Battle minigames, where a set number of coins must be donated into a pot. Once the minigame has ended, the number of coins in the pot is given to the players, depending on how well they did in the minigames. In most games, the maximum amount of coins collected is 999. Besides spending them, there are various ways players can lose coins, such as landing onRed Spaces,Bowser Spaces, Event Spaces, or landing on aCharacter Space that belongs to an opponent.
Coin amount can determine theBonus Stars awarded at the end of the match. The Minigame Star awards players that received the most coins through winning minigames, while the Coin Star awards players that accumulated the most amount of coins at any turn during a match.
Some games such asMario Party 5,Mario Party 6, andMario Party 7 keep track of coins accumulated or lost throughout the match.
Due to the difference in gameplay, coins do not appear inMario Party 9. Coins appear inMario Party: Island Tour, but only in the minigameDeck Hunt. Coins serve their original purpose inMario Party 10'samiibo Party mode, though they are still absent from the game's Mario Party and Bowser Party modes.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Coins are produced from the moveSuper Jump Punch byMario,Dr. Mario (inSuper Smash Bros. Melee), andLuigi (only when sourspotted), using their design fromSuper Mario 64 up untilSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, where their design is based on theStar Coins from theNew Super Mario Bros. series. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, whenMario's cap becomesCappy, the coins are replaced byregional coins from theMetro Kingdom inSuper Mario Odyssey (though this is exclusive to Mario), which use the same sound effect from the original game. The coins from this move have no practical effect.
Coins also appear in theGolden Plains stage inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Collecting 100 of these turns the charactergold and increases their attack power and launch resistance for a period of time.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
InPaper Mario, Coins are fairly common. They appear whenever anenemy is defeated. However, when Mario runs away from a battle, he loses coins. Coins are found not only in ? Blocks, but also in trees, bushes, and other hidden areas. To get a single coin from a tree, Mario has to use hisHammer to make the tree shake so that the single coin falls down. To find the single coin in a bush, Mario simply tries to search a bush when he goes near one. Coins are used to buy items orbadges in the games. Mario can hold up to 999 coins in this game.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Coins return inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They have the same use as inPaper Mario. Mario starts with 100 coins, although half of them are stolen by aBandit when Mario first enters the east side ofRogueport. Mario can retrieve the stolen coins if he tracks down the Bandit in a house behind the inn in Rogueport's main plaza. Mario can hold up to 999 coins in the original game, and 9,999 coins in the Nintendo Switch remake.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
Super Paper Mario explains that Coins came from theSammer Guy warriorFootsteps of Coins, who is the one who purposely drops coins around the universe. However, this explanation is merely part of Footsteps of Coin's opening speech, so its accuracy can be considered poor. In the game, each enemy releases coins when defeated. The stronger the enemy, the more coins are released. Some items also increase the number of coins gained after defeating an enemy. Coins serve as currency to buy items (or, after the end of the game, the rarePixl Tiptron). A total of 999 coins can be held by Mario in this game; any more will disappear. In this game, coins can also be gained using theHappy Flower to produce coins, or selling items for coins. Because of the more platformer-style gameplay compared to previous and succeeding entries, fleeing from an enemy will not have the player lose coins.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
InPaper Mario: Sticker Star, Coins, made of cardboard since this game, appear in some ? Blocks, are found in secret areas, and are awarded after collecting aComet Piece. Additionally, Mario may sell his various stickers for coins. If Mario continues attacking an enemy after all its HP is gone, he will gain one coin for every additional hit. The main purpose of Coins is to buy stickers or Things, to use theBattle Spin or to get two sections of the spinner to match up, or pay the enemies bullyinga Toad in some areas. In this game, Mario can hold up to 9,999 coins. Spending 10,000 coins at various shops earns Mario the "Super Shopper"Super Flag. A perfect bonus earned from winning a battle in the first turn without taking any damage will also give Mario coins. Unlike the previous installments, Mario no longer loses coins when fleeing from battle.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
InPaper Mario: Color Splash, Coins are primarily earned from finding them in ? Blocks, defeating enemies, repaintingcolorless spots, and collectingMini Paint Stars. Winning a battle without taking any damage, or afterKamek has cursed Mario's cards, will award a coin bonus. The mechanic of coins being earned when dealing damage after defeating an enemy returns fromSticker Star. Coins are awarded as prizes from theRoshambo Temples, and thePrize Pipe Paths,Blockstopper!, andPaint Hunter! minigames. Mario will earn 300 coins every time he finds Luigi using theCutout technique. In this game, Mario can hold up to 9,999 coins.
The main purpose of Coins is to buyBattle Cards orThings, buy services from various cafés throughout the game, or to use theBattle Spin. Additionally, Mario may buy hints from NPCs such as thePrisma Times Toad or the"Deep Cuts" Toad. In theTangerino Grill, Mario can purchase extra ingredients from thePeddler Kinopio to make the cooking minigames easier. TheCobalt Base offers Mario the chance to buy various card decks from theInformant Mūcho. Mario must collect a minimum of 25 coins usingCannonballs to complete a section of theViolet Passage.Wendy can use coins against Mario in her battle; unlike in other games, thrown coins also hurt Mario when collected.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
- “Hey, pal. Don't write checks your coins can't coin. You ain't got the coinage!”
- —Monty Mole auctioneer,Paper Mario: The Origami King
InPaper Mario: The Origami King, coins are obtainable in the overworld and earned from winning battles, with additional coins being earned for various bonuses. In addition to normal coins, there are 10-Coins, 100-Coins, and 1,000-coin bags. Unlike previousPaper Mario games, Mario can hold up to 999,999 coins. Mario earns the Coin Collector trophy if he collects a total of 300,000 coins. TheGold Hammer andGold Boots weapons increase the amount of coins enemies drop, while theCoin Step Counter rewards Mario with 10,000 coins for every 10,000 steps he takes. InShogun Studios, coins are referred to as "gold bits".Scaredy Rats can steal Mario's coins in battle.
In this game, coins can be spent on items at the variousshops andaccessory vendors, or spent to recharge inventions in theSensor Lab. They can also be used to increase the time limit during battles (exchanging 10 coins for one second) and to cheer to help solve a ring puzzle (up to 999 coins for maximum effect). Coins can also be spent to upgrade the motor onSea Captain Toad's boat or play the minigame at theShuriken Dojo. Mario must also pay coins to the lamp standSnifit inShroom City to play his minigame and 1000 coins to enterShangri-Spa. There are multiple instances in the game where coins can be spent to make certain puzzles easier. Other optional ways to spend coins include buying fortunes from theFortune Toad onPicnic Road, viewing the exhibits at theEarth Vellumental Temple, looking out the telescope onOverlook Tower, and buying drinks at thecafés andThe Princess Peach.
Luigi's Mansion series[edit]
Coins appear throughout theLuigi's Mansion series. In every installment, whenLuigi takes damage, he loses a few Coins, which disappear if he does not collect them quickly enough. InLuigi's Mansion andits Nintendo 3DS version, Coins are the most common treasure, worth 5,000 G, and can be found all over themansion. Both theRed Diamond andKing Boo'scrown are worth the same as a regular coin. InLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Coins reappear, though with a more octagonal shape and a value of 1 G each. InLuigi's Mansion 3, coins function identically to their appearance inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, though there are piggy banks that can be shattered for many coins to scatter about.
Mario Golf series[edit]
Coins appear in Coin-collecting challenges on courses inMario Golf: Toadstool Tour,Mario Golf: World Tour, andMario Golf: Super Rush. They make up various formations, from basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles, to unique ones like clouds, fish, and clovers. In these challenges, when selecting where to aim the shot, the Coins spin faster when the ball's path will go into them, and it attracts the Coins as it flies close to and through them. ForToadstool Tour, the Coins take theirSuper Mario 64 appearance, and the challenges are in the form of regular games, where the player must collect as many Coins as possible while finishing on or below par. InWorld Tour, the Coins return to their regular form, and are awarded to the players for completing challenges, finishing rounds, and as prizes for finishing tournaments. Coins can be used to purchase golf gear in the Castle Club, and are seen in Mario Golf challenges and Character Costume Challenges. These challenges are unique that they do not act like regular rounds, therefore there are no flags and cups on the greens. Instead, without having to worry about sinking the ball, players collect a set amount of Coins by hitting the ball through them in two strokes less than the hole's par. In Quick Round, the Coins may or may not appear on the course when playing on them. But when going on practice rounds through the Castle Club, the Coins are always there. Obtaining Coins in any way adds them to the player's coin total. InMario Golf: Super Rush, they act as energy instead of items, and they are lost if the player swings too hard afterWario's Lightning Blast. In Speed Golf, they are lost from the same condition as regular golf, but they can also be lost if they are hit by a special shot that knocks balls away. They also appear inBattle Golf mode where they are lost if the player makes contact with water, gets crushed by aThwomp, gets eaten by aChain Chomp, gets stomped by aWhomp, gets hit by aBob-omb, slips on aBanana, or makes contact with a special shot that knocks away balls.

However, no matter how many coins the player currently has, they always translate to 10 Beanbean coins, and Tolstar orders the bros. to find 100 coins around Stardust Fields. Later in the game,Prince Peasley makes a bet of 99,999,999,999,999 Mushroom coins with Mario and Luigi over who would find the pieces of theBeanstar first.

Naming[edit]
Coins are also referred to asKoopabits in theSuper Mario Bros. comics byValiant Comics, serving as a combination of "Koopa" and "bit". The usage of the word "bit" may potentially a double-meaning, based both on the word's use in computing as a single unit of information, as well as being a slang term referring to varying denominations of coinage across the world.

Notes[edit]
- ThePokos fromPikmin 2 and the Nintendo Land Coins fromNintendo Land use a similar design to theSuper Mario franchise's coins.
- TheCleveland Guardians ofMajor League Baseball play the coin sound effect fromSuper Mario Bros. for each scoring runner.
- The coin sound effect is used for selecting NES/Famicom Disk System and SNES video games on theVirtual Console for theNintendo 3DS, with the specific version of the sound effect varying between the two systems; if it is NES/FDS, the version fromSuper Mario Bros. plays, while theSuper Mario World version plays when an SNES game is selected. Similarly, the coin sound effect fromSuper Mario Bros. plays when booting upNintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Classics, the coin sound effect fromSuper Mario World plays when booting upSuper Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Classics, and the coin sound effect fromSuper Mario 64 (also heard when starting the game) plays when booting upNintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics.
