Red Coins made their first main-series appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and returned in [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. Each Red Coin is worth two [[Coin|Yellow Coin]]s. Collecting all eight Red Coins in one level makes a [[Power Star]] appear over a [[Star Marker]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', some [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]] have the ability to detect red coins when the player talks to them.
