Musical Coin
Musical Coins,[1][2] also called Music Coins[3] or Bonus Coins,[4] are special coins in Wario Land 3. Musical Coins are larger than regular ones and depict a musical note. They are worth 10, similar to 10 Gold Coins.
Eight Musical Coins can be found in each level; if Wario collects all eight in a level and opens any treasure chest (or enters an already opened chest door), a crayon will color the drawing on the Musical Coin count screen, and — if the Magnifying Glass from the Bank of the Wild River's Red Chest had been collected — an icon of a coin with an "8" symbol can be seen in the status of that level on the overworld map, though he must collect them all in one visit. This is possible in every level (except for The Big Bridge and The Pool of Rain) as soon as all four chests become accessible. Additionally, every Musical Coin in each level can be collected regardless of the time of day, as areas that can only be accessible during the day or night do not have them, though certain coins require roundabout ways with upgrades based on the level's layout during those times. Collecting all of the Musical Coins unlocks the last golf course in the hill that separates the north and west sides.
Musical Coins also appear in the namesake microgame in WarioWare Gold, where the object is to collect one.
