Talk:Coin (hopping)

Name
Is this an in-game name? The manual simply calls them "coins" in the score tally section... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:46, April 11, 2020 (EDT)
 * According to this game script, one of the Message Blocks calls them "coins". I can also confirm that the Player's Guide and official website also call them coins, and the Japanese name is 「コイン」 in equivalent manual page 15. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:48, April 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * Update: in the Japanese version of that Message Block text (which describes the hopping variety from ? Blocks and ? Bubbles), as well as under ? Block on page 12 of the Shogakukan guide, it is known as 「コインちゃん」 (Koinchan, Coin-chan). LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:46, April 13, 2020 (EDT)
 * Fandom's Yoshi Wiki also has an article about this called "Heart Coin," but the name isn't sourced, so it's probably conjectural. Dwhitney (talk) 23:30, March 2, 2023 (EST)

All things considered, the base item should be merged to coin. The hopping "Coin-chan" can be left on a separate page. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:36, March 5, 2023 (EST)
