'''Blue Coins''' are a special type of [[coin]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later returned in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They are worth five [[Yellow Coin]]s each. They can be found in [[Blue Coin Block]]s, which when [[Ground Pound]]ed by [[Mario]], will cause a number of Blue Coins to appear, but only for a limited amount of time. While [[Grand Goomba]]s usually give out a coin when stomped on, they give out a Blue Coin if they are Ground Pounded on. Blue Coins can also be collected by defeating a [[Piranha Plant]], a [[Boo]], [[Koopa Troopa]] and a [[Mr. I]].

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Blue Coins appear as a rarer type of coin. By heading to the [[Boathouse]] located in the west part of [[Delfino Plaza]], the player can trade ten Blue Coins for one [[Shine Sprite]] from the [[Tanooki]] running the store. There are 240 Blue Coins in the game (30 for each of the seven courses, 20 in Delfino Plaza, and 10 in [[Corona Mountain]]), so a total of 24 Shine Sprites can be exchanged for Blue Coins. They do not affect the number of Yellow Coins that Mario has collected, though. On a side note, the player receives the option to save their game for each Blue Coin they grab. There are some Blue Coins (as well as Yellow Coins) in [[Sirena Beach]]'s [[Hotel Delfino|hotel]] that are fake since they do not spin and move. They are actually [[Boo|Boos]] with coins inside of them. If Mario gets too close to a "coin", the Boo appears. If the player picks up a real Blue Coin, two health points are recovered.
