Coincentration

Coincentration is one of Wario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and a single-player and multiplayer Puzzle minigame in New Super Mario Bros. Its name is a portmanteau of "coin" and "concentration." In the New Super Mario Bros. version, the graphics have been redone, appearing more three-dimensional.

In Super Mario 64 DS, this minigame is followed by Intense Coincentration, a harder version with fewer coins.

The music that plays in this minigame is an arrangement of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. The minigame's name is used as the title for an arrangement of the Underground Theme in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and its 3DS version.

Gameplay
The game starts with Wario on the top screen standing next to a Moneybags; he punches it into the air, and 40 coins then fall down and make their way into the Brick Blocks as the Moneybags bounces offscreen. The player must use the stylus to tap the blocks containing coins. If the player taps a block with no coins, the game will end. The highest possible score that the player can obtain in this game is the "perfect" score of 40.

In the multiplayer version in New Super Mario Bros., the basic premise is similar, but each player instead takes a turn choosing a block. If a player taps a block with no coins, the block will break and the player will lose two coins. It is possible to have a negative score in this mode. If unsure, a player can pass, but they can do so only once. Once all the coins are found, the player with the most coins wins.
