Talk:Green Coin

Gimme Frog Coins
Aren't these Frog Coins, (Super Mario RPG), i mean they are both green and you collect them. I'm pretty sure they are.
 * The Frog Coins are money you can spend, while the Green Coins are just coins in a platformer game. 08:52, 3 January 2013 (EST)

Split Green Coin and ?
Should we split out the two variants of Green Coins, seeing as how they're different on the same level as the Pink Coins? 10:34, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * I guess Green Star Coin is from your Prima Guide? I'd support a split. -- 10:36, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * They probably should be split as they do have entirely different purposes and functions. 10:39, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * I'm unsure. The yellow, blue and red coins have also been referred to as "Star Coins" in the past, yet they're still considered the same thing. I'm reminded of the Green Star split. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:46, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * That's because the developers of 3D World had Galaxy 2 in mind when creating the Green Stars. On the other hand, I don't think Mario Run's developers had the Mario Maker Pink Coins in mind when creating the Pink Coins in the former game. It's the same idea here. 15:22, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * I very much doubt that the developers of Super Mario 3D World didn't have New Super Mario Bros. U in mind because the gameplay roles of the two are nearly identical: touch a ring and collect corresponding coins within a time limit. The practical differences are the amount, pattern, and reward, but those factors can also vary with Blue Coins and Red Coins depending on the game. The designs are different as well, but so are the coins from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine (the former of which are the aforementioned "Star Coins"). If Green Star Coin splits, it should take Green Star Ring with it, whose function is even closer as it's simply the trigger mechanism. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:28, 16 December 2018 (EST)
 * The purpose of the SM3DW ones seem more like a red coin combined with a key coin to me, simply being green to indicate their relation to Green Stars than just to differentiate from red coins, like in NSMBU. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:01, 16 December 2018 (EST)
