Talk:Purple Coin

Is this even official?
 * Yes it is. check out the levels on every galaxy.

There are also purple coins in Super Mario World. When you hit a P-Switch, they don't transform.

How?
How is the Purple Coin theme a remix of the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme? - Bill-tendo 22:20, 30 January 2012 (EST)

If you listen, you can hear that the 1st section is repeated, there is a quiet interlude, and the 3rd section is clearly heard in the Gusty Garden theme.

Possible Reference
You know how the purple coins have stars on them like in SM64? I think this could be a possible reference to the fact that if you get 100 coins in SM64, you get a star, because you need 100 purple coins for a star. Maybe we should add this to trivia? User:EmperorLuigi115

I'll leave this open for someone to reply, but if nobody replies in 13 days, I'll make the change. Feel free to reply saying you want me to do it instantly. User:EmperorLuigi115

It could be a combination of Red and Blue coins missions, because you got a time limit for Red Coins and Blue Coins are hidden. User:Kayak254

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 information
I noticed there's a section in the history section about Mario Hoops 3-on-3. I legitimately cannot see how the linked article correlate to the topic of this article other than "it's a coin that's purple". The section is also extremely badly written. I haven't played the game, so I can't actually judge this very well. If somebody, preferably somebody who has played the game, could inform me whether it should stay or not, then that would be helpful. In fact, if you leave a message here explaining why they shouldn't be here, then you're free to remove the information yourself. 10:49, 15 December 2015 (EST)
 * From what I have remembered, purple coins are used to make the slot turn in Jr. Street. You can get those like the coins from Hoops 3-on-3; you dribble on a ? Panel with a possibility to get one. Once you score a point, if you have a purple coin, you operate a slot, which can increase your score. Honestly, splitting this article off because it operates differently doesn't sit all well with me; with that logic, the coins from Super Mario 64 need to get split from their incarnation in 2D games as they are used for healing yourself rather than points. Same deal with blue coins and red coins. So I think the opening sentence needs to be rephrased to accommodate the purple coin's appearance in a different game. 22:59, 17 December 2015 (EST)
 * Well scratch what I said. They have their own official name called the "Slot Coin". So I say we can delete that section and add a "This article is about" thingabob in the top of the page. 23:03, 17 December 2015 (EST)
