Red Coin: Difference between revisions

'''Red Coins''' (also formatted as '''red coins''')<ref>Various [[Message Block]]s in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and ''Yoshi's New Island'' digital manual</ref><ref>"'''Red coin''' collected!" &ndash; message displayed on-screen after one player collects a Red Coin in the ScareScraper mode of ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' (British version only)</ref> are [[coin]]s that appear at times, along with Yellow Coins in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. The differences between a Yellow Coin and a Red Coin differ by game, but usually, Red Coins serve as important items to collect to get a reward. They are replaced by [[Purple Coin]]s in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games, which must be collected to acquire [[Power Star]]s.
