-A '''Star Coin''' is a collectible found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''  and ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]''. Three Star Coins appear in each level (be it numbered, lettered, towers, ghost houses or castles). Some are easy to grab, while others require special power-ups (such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]]) to access. There are eighty levels, thus there are 240 Star Coins to find in the game.  Each Star Coin adds 1000 [[point]]s (the same amount of points given as collecting an extra [[Fire Flower]], [[Mushroom]], [[Mini Mushroom]], [[Blue Shell]], or [[Star]]) to the player's game score.

+'''Star Coins''' are recurring collectibles introduced in the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], large coins with a [[Super Star]] imprint. They are based on [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', even reusing the corresponding sound effect for collecting one from ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some other similarly functioning items include the [[Smiley Flower]]s in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], the [[Red Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the [[Ace Coin]]s and [[Advance Coin]]s in the ''Super Mario Advance'' games. Later items of the same basic function known as [[Star Medal]]s appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', followed by the [[Green Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; [[Comet Medal]]s are also similar items found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', [[10-Coin]]s are depicted as large, circular coins with an imprint of a [[Super Star]], 13 years before Star Coins themselves first appeared. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic coins of each color have an indentation of a star on them and are in fact referred to as "(color) Star Coins" in the Japanese manual, though this specification is lost in the English translation.
-They also appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, there are 231 Star Coins. Three Star Coins appear in each of the game's 77 levels. Also, they now add 4000 points to the player's score, instead of 1000 like previously.
+==History==
+===''Super Mario'' series===
+====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
+[[File:CoinsStar.png|frame|right]]
+In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', there are three Star Coins in each of the eighty levels for a total of 240 Star Coins. Collecting a Star Coin adds 1,000 [[point]]s to the player's score; some Star Coins may be hidden in areas that require power-ups such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]] to access or collect them. In this game and subsequent appearances, collected Star Coins will show up as translucent on subsequent playthroughs of a level; a Star Coin does not count as collected until the player completes the level.
-==Uses==
+On the world map, the Touch Screen will display the total amount of Star Coins collected. Star Coins are used to open paths blocked by [[Star Coin Sign]]s on the world map; each sign costs 5 Star Coins to open and allows the player to access [[Toad House]]s or additional levels, which are represented with letters (e.g. [[World 1-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-A]] or [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]]).
+After completing the game at least once, a Blue Toad House will appear north of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]] that sells 5 bonus Touch Screen backgrounds for 20 Star Coins each; the 5th background can be unlocked by opening every Toad House or spending all the Star Coins after collecting them. Collecting all 240 Star Coins will reward the player with a second star next to their save file, and "Complete" will appear on the Touch Screen next to the Star Coin counter; spending all the Star Coins will result in an "All Spent" message appearing next to the Star Coin symbol on the world map.
+In the game's data, the collection sound effect is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", further suggesting that their sound effect is taken from Dragon Coins.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects New Super Mario Bros. § Sound Effects]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved February 18, 2019.</ref>
+====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
+[[File:NSMBW Star Coin Collection Sprite.png|frame|right]]
+Star Coins also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Collecting one now adds 4,000 points to the player's total score. If the player collects all three Star Coins in a level, applause can be heard.
+There are 231 Star Coins in total; collecting all Star Coins in a world will unlock a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] corresponding to that world number's (e.g. collecting all the Star Coins in World 1 will unlock [[World 9-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|9-1]]). Collecting all the Star Coins in the game, including the ones in World 9, will reward the player with a star on the File Select Screen. Star Coins can also optionally be used to buy [[hint movies]] at [[Peach's Castle]].
+====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
+[[File:StarCoin-NSMB2.png|frame|right]]
+Star Coins appear again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. There are 219 Star Coins in total; as before, they can be used to open Star Coin Signs on the world map, leading to Toad Houses and additional levels. In this game, whenever Mario or Luigi passes a Star Coin, they will turn their head to face it.
+In [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], 90 Star Coins must be collected in order to access the actual levels. There is also a Yellow Toad House behind a Star Coin Sign that only appears after all Star Coins have been collected, and requires nine Star Coins to open. World Star itself does not have any Star Coins, but instead has similar [[Moon Coins]]; they cannot be spent, but count towards collecting all the Star Coins, and collecting all Moon Coins also rewards the player with a star on the File Select screen.
+====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
+[[File:NSMBU Star Coin Render.png|frame|right]]
+Star Coins appear once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they serve the same purpose as ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''; collecting all the Star Coins in each world unlocks a corresponding level in [[Superstar Road]], similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. There are a total of 246 Star Coins in the game.
+===''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''===
+[[File:Star Coin.png|thumb|31px]]
+Star Coins appear in the minigame [[Elevation Station]] in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]''. Collecting one adds 500 points to the player's score.
+===''Mario Golf'' series===
+====''Mario Golf: World Tour''====
+Star Coins appear in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and can be used to unlock new courses and playable characters. Players can earn them by clearing Star Coin challenges. These coins are also seen in the Extra level of the training games, where players are challenged to get the Star Coin with the ball while landing it as close to the pin as possible.
+====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====
+Star Coins reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', where they are found in [[Shelltop Sanctuary]] and [[All-Star Summit]]. When collected, they fill up the player's [[Special Shot]] gauge.
+===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
+In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the coins produced from Mario's and Luigi's up special moves, [[Super Jump Punch]], are Star Coins.
+===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
+Star Coins appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as special Skill Items that raise the Skill levels of all forms of [[Mario]] except the 2.0 update forms, and all types of [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Coin Coffer]]s, [[Thwomp]]s and [[Whomp]]s. They can be earned by opening up [[? Block]]s; winning them from the Lucky ? Blocks game at Toad Houses; randomly dropped by [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Boom Boom]]; or from [[Big Thwomp]]s and [[Big Whomp]]s with a 10+ Combo attack. Other versions of Star Coins exist: [[Green Star Coin]]s, [[Grand Star Coin]]s and [[Grand Green Star Coin]]s.
+===''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''===
+Star Coins appear in [[Golf Plus]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. In this event, Star Coins are used to score the event and decide the winner, and on most holes are earned by getting the ball into the hole in the fewest shots. They can also be earned by hitting [[? Block]]s, which will produce a random number of Star Coins that can be scored by reaching the hole in under the number of shots allowed for the hole.
+==Profiles==
 ===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
-*Opening signs on the world map. Little picket signs block bonus paths that may lead to [[Toad House]]s or to alternate, lettered levels (e.g. 1-A). There are thirty-two such signs in the game, each requiring five Star Coins to open. Also, after opening the signs, the player is given the option to save, allowing them to easily save their progress instead of having to play through a tower or castle.
+*'''Instruction manual bio:''' ''Earn enough Star Coins, and you'll be able to open up new courses.''
-*Buying new backgrounds. After beating the game once, a blue Toad House will appear north of Level [[1-1 (NSMB)|1-1]]. There are four bonus backgrounds for the touch screen that cost twenty Star Coins each (the last background can be unlocked by opening every Toad House).
-*Once all 240 Star Coins have been collected, a star will appear next to the save file it was completed in and on the map screen next to the symbol, the message will display "All Star Coins spent".
+===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
+*'''Instruction manual bio:''' ''Every course contains three of these. Once collected, they can be used to open new paths on the map screen.''
+===''New Super Mario Bros. U''===
+*'''Instruction manual bio:''' ''Each course contains three Star Coins. If you collect them all, something good might happen!''
-===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
+===''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
-*Buying [[Hint Movies]] at [[Peach's Castle]].
+*'''[[Play Nintendo]]:''' ''Each course contains three '''Star Coins'''. You can try to collect them as you make your way to the '''Goal Pole''' at the end of the course. If you collect all three Star Coins, something good might happen!''<ref>[https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/new-super-mario-bros-u-deluxe-tips-tricks/ New Super Mario Bros.

-*When all Star Coins in a world are found, a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] (unlocked after beating final boss) is unlocked.

-A '''Star Coin Sign''' is a wooden sign that gets sucked into the ground after a player pays five [[Star Coin]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. It usually opens access to a [[Toad House]], or an alternate [[level]]. [[Player]]s can save after opening one. Star Coin Signs are found in every [[world]], some containing more signs that others, allowing access to more Toad Houses and/or extra levels.
