==History==
===''Wario Land'' series===
====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''====
[[File:WL1 100Coin.png|thumb|left|Wario discovers a 100 Coin in a secret room in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''.]]
100 Coins are items in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', their first appearance. They look similar to regular coins, but are four times bigger and bounce in place. Unlike their smaller counterparts, 100 Coins are very rare and usually well hidden. They are located in specific levels and can be obtained by hitting a [[Mega ? Block]]. Since they add many coins to Wario's coin counter, they can be valuable when Wario makes his wish to [[Genie (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|Genie]] at the end of the game.

====''Wario Land II''====
100 Coins are items in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Their size swapped with [[10-Coin|10 Gold Coin]]s. They now have a silver tint, are affected by gravity, and flash rapidly. They also produce a characteristic noise once they appear and when they are collected. 100 Coins can be found by breaking objects or defeating enemies, just like regular coins. It appears every 64th time either of the previous actions is taken. The [[giant spear man]] also leaves a 100 Coin behind every time he is defeated.

====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
[[File:WLSI Coin 100.png|frame|right]]
Coins that are worth one hundred regular coins appear in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', where they are referred to as '''large gold coins'''. As in the first two ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games, they retain their behavior.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
{{multiframe|[[File:M&LPiT 100 Coin Sprite.png]] [[File:MLSSBM100Coin.png]]|align=left}}
100 Coins also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Like in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', 100 Coins appear as larger coins, but this time with the number "100" printed on them. They are extremely rare and are only found in ? Blocks in the ground via wide trunks where only the baby brothers can go through. After they are released, they come up to the surface for the Mario Bros. to collect. If they are not collected after a period of time, they disappear. Sometimes, a [[Tanoomba]] or [[Tashrooba]] disguises itself as a 100 Coin (though with its face replacing the "100"). When the Mario Bros. get close, the coin turns back into a Tanoomba or Tashrooba.

They later appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Unlike in the previous game, they can be found inside any ? Blocks, but can be found more commonly toward the end of the game. They may also be collected when Bowser defeats a [[Metal Mawful Mole]] on the map. 100 Coins also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
Giant coins make an appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and are found in the rainbow levels. They appear by flying across the screen as Mario progresses through the area. A bell-like noise is heard when they appear. They look as they do in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. They are worth one hundred [[coin]]s and therefore reward the player with an [[extra life]]. Giant coins can also be found in larger [[Roulette Coin Block]]s.

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
[[File:PMTOK Giant Coin.png|50px|frame]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', 100-Coins retain their higher-pitch chime and larger size relative to the single [[coin]] and [[10-Coin]], though now with a similarly gilded cardboard aesthetic. These large coins are frequently distributed as rewards for completing more difficult tasks, yet are much more common to find when exploring compared to previous games, and will return after collected if the area is reloaded.
