'''Coins''' (also called '''Mushroom coins''' in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]) are the main currency of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. They can be collected in most [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' games]]. They have varying effects depending on the game type: in platformer games, they increase a player's [[Point|score]] and grant [[extra life|extra lives]]; in racing games, they increase speed and recovery times; and in RPGs, they can be used to purchase items, all among other uses.
==History==
{{main|History of coins}}
Coins have had varied roles throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise. In the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], particularly the sidescrolling platforming games, collecting 100 typically gives the player an [[extra life]]. In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Coins appear less often, though they affect the racer's top speed. In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], coins mainly appear as a currency used on the game board. Certain minigames involve the characters collecting coins, and the only way to lose in them is by not collecting any coins. Similarly to the ''Super Mario'' series, the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] and [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]] also include coins as collectible items. In the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], Coins are used as a form of currency.


In the RPG games, coins could be used to purchase various things, such as advice, items, etc., and could be found in item blocks or earned by winning battles or selling items.
==Types of coins==
===Yellow Coins===
[[File:SM64 Yellow Coin art.jpg|thumb|100px|A Yellow Coin]]
Yellow Coins are the main types of coins found in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They are found everywhere, ranging from floating in the air, acquiring them through blocks, or by defeating enemies. Generally in ''Super Mario'' side-scrolling games, they are worth 50, 100 or 200 points. Collecting either 50 or 100 in certain games will make the player earn an extra life. Yellow Coins are the primary normal coins in most games. While their designs occasionally vary, they are most often depicted as circular or oblong tokens with a sans-serif "one" numeral debossed in the center of each face.


In most of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' games, 100 Gold Coins can be traded in for an extra life.
===Red Coins===
[[File:Red Coin SM64 artwork.jpg|thumb|left|100px|A Red Coin]]
{{main|Red Coin}}
Red Coins are uncommon, but not rare in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. They first appeared as coins disguised as yellow coins in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but later on, they are found in certain parts of a level or scattered throughout the level. They are worth more than Yellow Coins, as each Red Coin is worth two Yellow Coins in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and collecting eight of them reveals a [[Power Star]]. Likewise, in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a [[Shine Sprite]] appears when eight Red Coins are collected. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' they are worth 5 Yellow Coins, replacing [[coin bag]]s from previous ''Mario Party'' games. Their function varies from game to game, but the player usually has to collect eight of them to do something. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels, the player is granted an item such as a [[Fire Flower]] upon collecting 8 Red Coins.


In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', 100 of these coins will grant [[Mario]] a [[Power Star]].
===Blue Coins===
[[File:Blue Coin SMS.png|thumb|100px|A Blue Coin]]
{{main|Blue Coin}}
Blue Coins are either part of completion of a game or another way of getting more coins. In ''Super Mario 64'', they are found by defeating certain enemies or ground-pounding a [[Blue Coin Block]]. They are worth five Yellow Coins each as opposed to one. Blue Coins are found in hidden parts in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and are required in order to complete the game 100%, as ten Blue Coins can be spent to get a [[Shine Sprite]]. In most other games, they appear after a [[P Switch]] is pressed, and are worth one coin each.


In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', 100 of these coins will grant Mario a [[Shine Sprite]].
===Purple Coins===
[[File:PurpleCoin.png|thumb|left|100px|A Purple Coin]]
{{main|Purple Coin}}
Purple Coins are found only in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' when a Purple Comet is orbiting a [[galaxy]]. Purple Coins can appear throughout a level, or they can appear in a certain spot. If the player can collect 100 Purple Coins (sometimes within a time limit), they can receive a Star. Unlike regular coins, Purple Coins do not heal lost health or restore breath while underwater.


In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', coins are used as currency to purchase services and items throughout the [[Mushroom World]]. Small coins are worth one coin while large coins are worth ten coins.
===? Coins===
[[File:Question Coin.jpg|thumb|100px|A ? Coin]]
{{main|? Coin}}
? Coins are found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]]. These coins do not count as normal coins, but they have many uses. Often, they make Coins, [[Star Bit]]s, Power-Ups, and [[note]]s appear. In the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], they even make other ? Coins appear.


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], they are known as Mushroom Coins and are worth far less than [[Beanbean Coin|Beanbean Coins]].
===Dragon Coins===
[[File:YoshiCoin_SMW.png|thumb|left|100px]]
{{main|Dragon Coin}}
Found only in ''Super Mario World'' and remakes, these will grant Mario a life when all five are collected in each level. They are bigger than regular coins, and they have a portrait of Yoshi on them.
{{br|left}}


In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', the gold coin is the least valuable treasure, accounting for only 5,000G per coin. [[Luigi]] loses a few gold coins when he takes damage.
===Frog Coins===
[[File:SMRPG FrogCoin.png|right|100px|A Frog Coin]]
{{main|Frog Coin}}
Frog Coins are a green coin exclusive to ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', and act as a second currency only accepted by amphibian characters. They can be exchanged for rare items at certain shops.


Gold coins are used as currency to buy items (including a [[Star]]) in the ''[[Mario Party]]'' series. You collect these coins by landing on coin squares, winning them after mini-games, winning the lottery, etc. At the end of the Mario Party tournament there is a chance you will recieve a bonus Star if you have the most coins out of all the contestants.
===Star Coins===
[[File:NSMB2 Star Coin.png|thumb|left|100px|A Star Coin]]
{{main|Star Coin}}
Star Coins are a type of Coin only found in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. There are three Star Coins in every level (except [[Warp Cannon]]s, [[Enemy Course]]s and [[Toad's House]]s). There are 240 in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and 219 in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', where they serve for unlocking secret paths and in the former, unlocking new backgrounds for the touchscreen. Also, there are 231 in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and 246 in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and they serve for unlocking [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]]/[[Superstar Road]] levels and in the former, buying Hint Videos for Princess Peach's Castle. Their locations, function, and size are similar to that of Dragon Coins.
{{br}}


[[Category:Items]]
===Ace Coins===
{{main|Ace Coin}}
[[File:Ace Coin SMA1 sprite.png|thumb]]
Ace coins only appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' and there are 5 Ace Coins hidden in each level. Their role in the game is the same as the Dragon Coin in ''Super Mario World''. There are 100 Ace Coins overall. They are oval and have the letter "A" engraved on them.
 
===Advance Coin===
{{main|Advance Coin}}
[[File:AdvanceCoin SMA4.png|thumb]]
Advance Coins are special coins that appear exclusively in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They appear only in the new [[World-e]] levels. They are similar to [[Ace Coin|Ace Coins]] in appearance, except for the fact that they're yellow.
 
===Moon Coins===
{{main|Moon Coin}}
[[File:MoonCoin.png|thumb|left|A Moon Coin]]
Moon Coins appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and are only found in [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]]. They have a [[3-Up Moon]] imprinted on them. These coins replace the [[Star Coin]]s of other worlds in the game. However, Moon Coins cannot be used as Star Coins (therefore they cannot be used to remove [[Star Coin Sign]]s). Moon Coins are only used for collecting and are required to obtain one of the stars on the player's save file.
 
===Green Coins===
{{main|Green Coin}}
[[File:Green CoinNSMBU.png|thumb|Three Green Coins]]
Green Coins have appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Green Coins are activated by moving through a [[Green Ring]]. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, they act much like Red Coins, but these coins disappear much faster and five groups of three need to be collected. They always appear in groups of three and form a clover shape. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', eight coins appear, and collecting them all results in a [[Green Star]] appearing.
 
===Mario Coins===
{{main|Mario Coin}}
[[File: MKAGP2 MarioCoin.jpg|thumb|left|150px]]
Mario Coins appear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. These are used to earn prizes.
{{br}}
 
===Regional Coins===
{{main|Regional coin}}
[[File: Regional Coins.png|thumb|100px]]

{{br}}
 
===Flower Coins===
{{main|Flower coin}}
[[File: Gimmick coin 02.png|thumb|100px]]
Flower coins are coins appearing only in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They can be spent in [[Poplin Shop|Poplin shops]]. They are purple in color, and come in 10 and 0.1 varieties.

==Trivia==
*The [[Pikipedia:Poko|Poko]]s from ''[[Pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]'' use a similar design to the ''Super Mario'' franchise's coins.
*"Koopabits" in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' stories are worth one coin.
*The {{wp|Cleveland Guardians}} of {{wp|Major League Baseball}} play the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario Bros.'' for each scoring runner.
*The coin sound effect is used for selecting NES/Famicom Disk System and SNES video games on the [[Virtual Console]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], with the specific version of the sound effect varying between the two systems; if it is NES/FDS, the version from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays, while the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' version plays when an SNES game is selected. Similarly, the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario Bros.'' plays when booting up [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario World'' plays when booting up [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], and the coin sound effect from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (also heard when starting the game) plays when booting up [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]].

Coins (also called Mushroom coins in the Beanbean Kingdom) are the main currency of the Mushroom Kingdom. They can be collected in most Super Mario games. They have varying effects depending on the game type: in platformer games, they increase a player's score and grant extra lives; in racing games, they increase speed and recovery times; and in RPGs, they can be used to purchase items, all among other uses.

History

Main article: History of coins

Coins have had varied roles throughout the Super Mario franchise. In the Super Mario series, particularly the sidescrolling platforming games, collecting 100 typically gives the player an extra life. In the Mario Kart series, Coins appear less often, though they affect the racer's top speed. In the Mario Party series, coins mainly appear as a currency used on the game board. Certain minigames involve the characters collecting coins, and the only way to lose in them is by not collecting any coins. Similarly to the Super Mario series, the Yoshi's Island series and Wario Land series also include coins as collectible items. In the Paper Mario series and Mario & Luigi series, Coins are used as a form of currency.

Types of coins

Yellow Coins

A Yellow Coin

Yellow Coins are the main types of coins found in the Super Mario franchise. They are found everywhere, ranging from floating in the air, acquiring them through blocks, or by defeating enemies. Generally in Super Mario side-scrolling games, they are worth 50, 100 or 200 points. Collecting either 50 or 100 in certain games will make the player earn an extra life. Yellow Coins are the primary normal coins in most games. While their designs occasionally vary, they are most often depicted as circular or oblong tokens with a sans-serif "one" numeral debossed in the center of each face.

Red Coins

Main article: Red Coin

Red Coins are uncommon, but not rare in the Super Mario franchise. They first appeared as coins disguised as yellow coins in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but later on, they are found in certain parts of a level or scattered throughout the level. They are worth more than Yellow Coins, as each Red Coin is worth two Yellow Coins in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, and collecting eight of them reveals a Power Star. Likewise, in Super Mario Sunshine, a Shine Sprite appears when eight Red Coins are collected. In Mario Party DS they are worth 5 Yellow Coins, replacing coin bags from previous Mario Party games. Their function varies from game to game, but the player usually has to collect eight of them to do something. In New Super Mario Bros. and its sequels, the player is granted an item such as a Fire Flower upon collecting 8 Red Coins.

Blue Coins

Main article: Blue Coin

Blue Coins are either part of completion of a game or another way of getting more coins. In Super Mario 64, they are found by defeating certain enemies or ground-pounding a Blue Coin Block. They are worth five Yellow Coins each as opposed to one. Blue Coins are found in hidden parts in Super Mario Sunshine, and are required in order to complete the game 100%, as ten Blue Coins can be spent to get a Shine Sprite. In most other games, they appear after a P Switch is pressed, and are worth one coin each.

Purple Coins

Main article: Purple Coin

Purple Coins are found only in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 when a Purple Comet is orbiting a galaxy. Purple Coins can appear throughout a level, or they can appear in a certain spot. If the player can collect 100 Purple Coins (sometimes within a time limit), they can receive a Star. Unlike regular coins, Purple Coins do not heal lost health or restore breath while underwater.

? Coins

A ? Coin

? Coins are found in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. These coins do not count as normal coins, but they have many uses. Often, they make Coins, Star Bits, Power-Ups, and notes appear. In the Gusty Garden Galaxy, they even make other ? Coins appear.

Dragon Coins

Found only in Super Mario World and remakes, these will grant Mario a life when all five are collected in each level. They are bigger than regular coins, and they have a portrait of Yoshi on them.

Frog Coins

A Frog Coin
Main article: Frog Coin

Frog Coins are a green coin exclusive to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and act as a second currency only accepted by amphibian characters. They can be exchanged for rare items at certain shops.

Star Coins

Main article: Star Coin

Star Coins are a type of Coin only found in New Super Mario Bros. games. There are three Star Coins in every level (except Warp Cannons, Enemy Courses and Toad's Houses). There are 240 in New Super Mario Bros. and 219 in New Super Mario Bros. 2, where they serve for unlocking secret paths and in the former, unlocking new backgrounds for the touchscreen. Also, there are 231 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and 246 in New Super Mario Bros. U and they serve for unlocking World 9/Superstar Road levels and in the former, buying Hint Videos for Princess Peach's Castle. Their locations, function, and size are similar to that of Dragon Coins.

Ace Coins

Ace Coin

Ace coins only appear in Super Mario Advance and there are 5 Ace Coins hidden in each level. Their role in the game is the same as the Dragon Coin in Super Mario World. There are 100 Ace Coins overall. They are oval and have the letter "A" engraved on them.

Advance Coin

Main article: Advance Coin
AdvanceCoin SMA4.png

Advance Coins are special coins that appear exclusively in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They appear only in the new World-e levels. They are similar to Ace Coins in appearance, except for the fact that they're yellow.

Moon Coins

Moon Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, and are only found in World Star. They have a 3-Up Moon imprinted on them. These coins replace the Star Coins of other worlds in the game. However, Moon Coins cannot be used as Star Coins (therefore they cannot be used to remove Star Coin Signs). Moon Coins are only used for collecting and are required to obtain one of the stars on the player's save file.

Green Coins

Three Green Coins

Green Coins have appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Green Coins are activated by moving through a Green Ring. In the New Super Mario Bros. games, they act much like Red Coins, but these coins disappear much faster and five groups of three need to be collected. They always appear in groups of three and form a clover shape. In Super Mario 3D World, eight coins appear, and collecting them all results in a Green Star appearing.

Mario Coins
