Blue Coins | Blue Coins later appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and also made an appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In these games, their color is darkened from the light cyan ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. | ||
In these games, Blue Coins are worth five [[Coin|Yellow Coin]]s each. They can usually be found by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing a [[Blue Coin Block]], which, similar to the Switch Blocks, will cause a number of Blue Coins to appear for a limited amount of time. Blue Coins can also be collected by defeating certain enemies, such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Boo]]s, [[Mr. I]]'s, or [[Pokey]]s. [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s also give out a Blue Coin if killed using a Ground Pound. [[Bookend]]s will provide a Blue Coin when they are defeated but not if they disappear after colliding with the floor, a wall, or the player. | |||
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. However, the Blue Coins in Tall, Tall Mountain are not present in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. These moving Blue Coins also appear during the multiplayer battle at [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Blue Coins appear as a rare, collectable type of coin. There are 240 Blue Coins total in the game (30 in each of the seven courses, 19 in [[Delfino Plaza]], 1 in [[Delfino Airstrip]] (which counts as a Delfino Plaza coin), and 10 in [[Corona Mountain]]). 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, meaning 24 Shine Sprites total are available using this method. They do not affect the number of Yellow Coins that Mario has collected; however, they restore two health points when collected. 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]]s with coins inside of them, and if Mario gets too close to a "coin", the Boo appears. | |||

*Blue Coins were [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they would turn into magenta blocks upon a switch being hit. | |||
**The functionality of Blue Coins in ''Super Mario 64'' may have been carried over from [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|the development of ''Super Mario World'']], as in that game [[Red Coin]]s, which went unused, also awarded the player with five Yellow Coins when collected. | |||
