Dragon Coin: Difference between revisions

===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===

In ''Super Mario World'', at least five Dragon Coins appear in most [[level]]s, although places such as [[castle]]s, [[Ghost House]]s, and [[fortress]]es have no Dragon Coins. Collecting a Dragon Coins plays a unique sound effect, and it is also counted as one coin. The first four coins collected give 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 [[point]]s, respectively, and collecting all five in a level awards the player an [[extra life]]. [[Yoshi's Wings]] can be used to access certain auto-scrolling [[Coin Heaven]]s, where five Dragon Coins can be found. Six or more Dragon Coins may rarely appear in a level, with every Dragon Coin after the fifth also rewarding an extra life. In these levels, going through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a new area causes all remaining Dragon Coins to disappear if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has already collected at least five of them, making the remaining ones unobtainable. [[Chocolate Secret]] is unique for having only one Dragon Coin.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', Dragon Coins have a slightly bigger role. They now appear in levels that did not originally have them, and the number of Dragon Coins acquired is recorded on a menu. If the player collects them all, a cutscene plays, showing all of the collected Dragon Coins falling from the sky and being stacked together; afterwards, a giant Dragon Coin appears, and [[Yoshi]] eats it and lays an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]], which hatches into a giant coin with [[Princess Peach]]'s face, resulting in all of the Dragon Coins in the game having Peach's face imprinted on them instead of Yoshi's. Chocolate Secret now has the standard set of five Dragon Coins. In the ''[[Nintendo Power Advance]]'' guide for ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', the symbol for the Dragon Coins denoting where they are located in a level is drawn with a three-tined fork instead of Yoshi's or Peach's likeness.<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' v.4.

The Dragon Coin's collection sound effect was reused for the [[Advance Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Star Coin]]s in the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' games]], and the [[color coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the sound effect is internally labeled "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>."<ref>[[tcrf:New Super Mario Bros.#Sound Effects|New Super Mario Bros.#Sound Effects]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved February 18, 2019.</ref>

In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Dragon Coins appear in the microgame [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]]. Collecting them is not necessary to complete the [[microgame]] and has no real effect on gameplay, although the "Dragon Coin Collection" [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! missions|mission]] requires the player to collect at least four Dragon Coins in all three levels while playing as [[Jimmy T]].
