'''Blue Coins''' are a special type of [[coin]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later returned in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In these games, they are worth five [[Yellow Coin]]s each. They can usually be found by [[Ground Pound]]ing [[Blue Switch (Super Mario 64)|Blue Switches]], which will cause a number of Blue Coins to appear, but only for a limited amount of time.

Blue Coins can be collected by defeating tougher enemies, such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Boo]]s, [[Mr. I]]s, or [[Pokey]]s. While [[Big Goomba]]s usually give out a Yellow Coin when stomped on, they give out a Blue Coin if they are Ground Pounded on. Blue Coins are also found in the [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slides]] on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] (one is present) and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] (three are present), where they will start to move away from [[Mario]] once he gets close to them, in contrast to the stationary Yellow Coins. | ||
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Blue Coins appear as a rarer type of coin. By heading to the [[Boathouse]] located in the west part of [[Delfino Plaza]], the player can trade ten Blue Coins for one [[Shine Sprite]] from the [[Raccoon]]s running the store. There are 240 Blue Coins in the game (30 in each of the seven courses, 20 in Delfino Plaza, and 10 in [[Corona Mountain]]), so a total of 24 Shine Sprites can be exchanged for Blue Coins. They do not affect the number of Yellow Coins that Mario has collected, though. On a side note, the player receives the option to save their game for each Blue Coin they grab. There are some Blue Coins (as well as Yellow Coins) in [[Sirena Beach]]'s [[Hotel Delfino|hotel]] that are fake since they do not spin and move. They are actually [[Boo|Boos]] with coins inside of them. If Mario gets too close to a "coin", the Boo appears. If the player picks up a real Blue Coin, two health points are recovered. | In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Blue Coins appear as a rarer type of coin.
