{{quote|For some reason, Coins appear when you smash enemies! Don’t think about it too hard, Einstein! There are some supernatural phenomena in the world that just can’t be explained!!|Wario|Wario Land 4}}
'''Coins''' (also called '''Mushroom coins''' in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]) are the main currency of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. They can be collected in many games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Coins have varying effects depending on the game type: In platformer games, they increase a player's [[point|score]] and grant [[extra life|extra lives]]; in racing games, they increase speed and recovery times; and in role-playing games and a few other games, they can be used to purchase items.
==History==
===''Mario Bros.''===
[[File:MB Arcade Coin.gif|frame|left]]
Coins in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' emerge from a pipe after defeating an enemy.<ref>{{cite|quote=Earn points by grabbing the coins that come out of a pipe when a character is kicked down!|date=1985|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAAWE.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=9}}</ref> Coins can be obtained by either touching them or hitting them as they slide along the [[floor]], earning the player 800 points as a dollar sign displays briefly. Coins are also in bonus stages, where the player character has the goal of collecting ten suspended midair within the [[Time Limit|time limit]], earning a perfect bonus multiplier if they succeed.

===''VS. Wrecking Crew'' / ''Wrecking Crew''===
In the [[Bonus Stage (Wrecking Crew series)|bonus stage]]s of ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'', the object of the player is to find the hidden coin within the time limit. In two-player mode, players compete in searching for the coin, and the port ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'' features [[Foreman Spike]] as the rival.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' / ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''====
[[File:SMBCoin.gif|frame|left]]
[[File:SMB1 Sprite Coin.gif|frame]]
Coins are the most common items in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', and their [[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe|port]], appearing hidden inside of [[block]]s and in midair in every [[level]]. Coins are worth 200 points when collected. Collecting 100 coins gives Mario an [[extra life]].<ref>{{cite|quote=If Mario picks up 100 coins, he gets an extra life.|date=1985|publisher=Nintendo of America|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAAAE.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|page=7}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
[[File:CoinSMB2.png|frame|left]]
[[File:Coin SMB2.gif|frame]]
Coins in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' appear only in [[Subspace]] from plucking [[grass]],<ref>{{cite|quote=All grass you pull up in "Sub-space" will turn into Coins.|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|date=July/August 1988|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 1|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=10}}</ref> and they are used in the [[Bonus Chance]] game after the [[level]]. The [[Super Mario Advance|remake]] introduces [[Ace Coin]]s, five of which are obtainable in every level.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 Coin Sprite.gif|frame]]
[[File:SMB3_Coin.png|frame|left]]
[[File:SMA4 Animated Coin Sprite.gif|frame|left]]
Coins in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' retain the same basic purpose as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', rewarding an extra life when 100 are collected.<ref>{{cite|quote=Gather 100 coins and you'll earn an extra Mario.|date=1990|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAACE.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=18}}</ref> There are [[P Switch|Switch Block]]s, which turn [[Brick Block]]s into coins and vice versa, sometimes also causing [[Blue Coin]]s to appear. Coins are also in the 2-Player battle mode, where the player who collects five wins.<ref>{{cite|quote=First one to get five coins wins.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=29}}</ref> In the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version only, a dollar sign ($) at the bottom of the screen represents any coins collected.

An [[Orange Switch]] e-Reader card appears in [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|the remake]], and activating it turns any enemy hit by [[fireball]]s into coins. Coins are worth double if hit by thrown objects like [[Ice Block]]s. There are also [[Advance Coin]]s in [[World-e]] levels only, and they function like the Dragon Coins in ''Super Mario World''.

====''Super Mario Land''====
[[File:SML Coin Sprite.png|28px|right]]
Coins in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' often appear in [[? Block|Mystery Block]]s and mostly secret stashes or bunches. Coins have a different sound effect than the usual one introduced in ''Super Mario Bros.'', being a lower-pitched version of the [[Game Boy]] start-up sound.

====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:CoinSMW.gif|frame]]

[[File:SMW Sprite Coin Spinning.gif|frame]]
{{quote|YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!|Coins message in [[Funky (level)|Funky]]|Super Mario World}}
The coins of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' function similarly as the previous games, but they can now spawn from enemies defeated from fireballs by [[Fire Mario]] or [[Yoshi]]. Jumping on a yellow [[Koopa Troopa]] also forces a coin to appear from its shell.<ref>{{cite|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|date=September 26, 2019|url=youtu.be/EY91ibVgw90?feature=shared&t=20|timestamp=0:20|title=''Super Mario World'' - Groovy|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> [[Control Coin]]s are coins that can be manipulated into moving to certain directions. Everything that Yoshi [[swallow]]s also count towards Mario's coin total.

The game adds a few varieties of coins: [[Gray Coin]]s, which some enemies turn into when a [[Gray P Switch]] is active; [[Bonus Coin (Super Mario World)|Bonus Coins]], ten of which can be collected from a [[Yoshi Cloud]] for a [[1-Up Mushroom]]; [[Dragon Coin]]s, where collecting all of them in a level rewards an extra life; and [[Dragon Coin|Peach Coins]], which replace Dragon Coins after obtaining all of them in the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|remake]] only.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:SML2_Coin.png|26px|thumb|left]]
Coins have the same typical role while platforming in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', but they can also be spent at a [[Casino|gambling minigame]] for extra lives and power-ups.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:SM64 Yellow Coin art.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario 64'']]
[[File:CoinSM64DS.png|thumb|''Super Mario 64 DS'' design]]
Coins, also named '''Yellow Coins''',<ref>{{cite|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64'' English instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|page=18}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=March 1997|title=''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) issue 54|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb|page=22}}</ref> are common in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' but have noticeable differences. Coins now have a star-shaped symbol, and the remake changes them from animated 2D sprites into octagonal-like 3D models. A coin appears from any defeated enemy. They restore Mario's lost health and his oxygen supply while underwater. Every 50 coins earns Mario an extra life, while collecting 100 specifically allows for a [[Power Star]] to appear. [[Yoshi]] can stick out his tongue and [[swallow]] coins to obtain them in the remake only. The highest number of coins collected in a course are tracked on the score screen.

There are also [[Red Coin]]s, which are worth two coins, and [[Blue Coin]]s, which are worth five coins.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
The coins of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are based on their appearance in ''Super Mario 64'': Fifty are worth an extra life,<ref>{{cite|quote=For every 50 you collect in an area, you'll earn an extra life.|author=Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal|date=2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=13}}</ref> and obtaining 100 coins spawns the game's main collectible item, a [[Shine Sprite]].<ref>{{cite|quote=Collect 100 in an area to earn a Shine Sprite.|author=Averill, et al.|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide|page=13}}</ref> Both Red Coins and Blue Coins also make a reappearance.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Coin Spinning NSMB.gif|frame|left]]
The coins of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' are based on their appearance in ''Super Mario World''; they appear not only throughout levels but also by defeating enemies with [[fireball]]s.

Besides coins, there are [[Red Coin]]s, which appear only in sets of eight from a [[Red Ring]], and collecting them earns the player a power-up item or a 1-Up Mushroom. Blue Coins return, having the same role as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The only debuting variety is [[Star Coin]]s, which have to be collected in levels and spent on [[Star Coin Sign]]s to unlock more areas of the map.

''New Super Mario Bros.'' is the last ''Super Mario'' game to use the original 8-bit coin sound effect from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Subsequent games from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' onwards would use the newer sound derived from ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' variants.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Coin Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|Mario collecting coins in [[Battlerock Galaxy]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Coins are much less common in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in favor of [[Star Bit]]s. Besides returning methods, coins can now be obtained by shooting either flower buds or certain yellow spots on the ground, or by stomping an enemy. The top coin scores are tracked not only on the score screen like in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'' but also per each [[mission]] of a galaxy.

The game adds two coin varieties: [[? Coin]]s, which are large coins that cause a random effect to occur, and [[Purple Coin]]s, where 100 of them have to be collected in certain missions for a Power Star, something that coins can no longer do.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Coin Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' along with [[Red Coin]]s, [[Hidden Coin|Dash Coins]], [[Blue Coin]]s, and [[Star Coin]]s. Coins have mostly the same role, but some [[Flower (New Super Mario Bros. series)|flowers located in the background]] release coins when spun next to. In his boss fight, [[Kamek]]'s magic can sometimes turn platforms into coins.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:CoinSMG2.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario collecting coins in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
[[File:Giant Coin SMG2.png|thumb|200px|The big coin in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Coins are a lot more common in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' than the predecessor. They still restore only a unit of health.<ref>{{cite|quote=Coins restore the Life Meter by one.|date=2010|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=28}}</ref> Like the 2D games, collecting 100 coins is required to obtain an extra life.<ref>{{cite|quote=For every 100 coins Mario adds to that total, he earns a 1-Up.|author=Browne, Catherine|date=May 23, 2010|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6|page=6}}</ref> Some [[Hungry Luma]]s ask for coins instead of Star Bits. Top coin scores are no longer tracked in favor of a counter of the fastest time to each Star instead. Coins also refill a bit of Mario's air supply while underwater and give additional flight for [[Bee Mario]].

A particularly large rotating coin appears in [[Supermassive Galaxy]], though as an environmental object for Mario to wall-jump off of to get on top of a [[Mega ? Block]].
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Coins appear throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where collecting 100 rewards Mario or Luigi an extra life, like in the 2D games.<ref>{{cite|date=2011|quote=You'll get an extra life if you collect 100 of these.|url=csassets.nintendo.com/noaext/image/private/t_KA_PDF/manual-3DS-super-mario-3D-land-en|format=PDF|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' digital manual|page=10}}</ref> Coins take the role of points, hence why defeating enemies earns Mario coins directly, though sources where enemies spawn indefinitely, such as [[Baddie Box]]es, stop rewarding coins after the third such enemy is defeated. Grabbing the [[Goal Pole]] earns the player coins except at the top, which is worth an extra life instead. By completing any level except {{world link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 2}} 2, the player earns one coin per every ten seconds remaining on the [[Time Limit|timer]]. Five coins can be obtained by jumping through [[coin ring]]s, which make their debut.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NSMB2Coin.gif|frame|left]]
''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' is themed around coin collecting, making coins exceptionally common. The title screen is affected by the total number of coins collected, with 1,000,000 coins adding a gold Mario statue and 9,999,999 coins replacing it with a [[Raccoon Mario]] statue. Coins become more accessible with the help of newly introduced power-ups: [[Gold Flower]]s, converting [[Brick Block]]s and enemies into them directly; [[Gold Block]]s, which give coins as the player character moves automatically; and [[Gold Ring]]s, from which coins can be defeated from defeated enemies directly. There are also [[10-Coin|10]] and [[100-Coin]] denominations, and [[Roulette Coin Block]]s can give a different number of coins.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:NSMBUCoin.gif|thumb]]
Coins reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', working as they do in the previous 2D games. Some levels feature coins falling on parachutes in groups of one to three. The game is the first appearance of [[Green Coin]]s, which spawn from [[Green Ring]]s.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', coins work like they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', except enemies either drop or reward coins directly. The game also contains invisible coins, which can be revealed by passing through them or by using the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] for the original version. Returning varieties include [[coin pile]]s, which are worth several coins and often appear in hidden areas; [[Coin ring|Gold Ring]]s, which reward three coins (instead of five like before); and [[Green Star Coin]]s, where collecting eight reveals a [[Green Star]]. One of the [[stamp]]s bears the likeness of a coin.

Coins also appear in ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'', though since there is no lives system, collecting 100 coins earns the player a random [[List of power-ups|power-up]] instead: [[Super Bell]], [[Super Mushroom]], [[Boomerang Flower]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Super Leaf]], or a [[Super Star]]. Since version 1.1.0, collecting 100 coins before leaving [[Fur Step Island]] only rewards a Super Mushroom.{{ref needed}}

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Coins are placeable items in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Since version 1.4.0, coins can be shook to become a [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]].

The American English description from the [[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo 3DS eShop]] incorrectly states that coins can be shot from [[cannon]]s.

Also I made 20 Mario maker 1 (wii u) levels, most of which have coins in them (don’t forget to play and star them). Here is some stuff about them in the following format. Name: ID (uploaded date) (other info)

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', coins reprise their role as minor collectables. However, they also replace score as a mechanic. Collecting a redundant power-up is worth 5 coins. Touching the Goal Pole is worth 1-10 coins, with more coins granted the higher the player reaches on the pole. Defeating enemies grants coins in a truncated version of the normal score chain, where the first enemy defeated in a chain grants one coin, the second enemy defeated grants two coins, and all further enemies grant four coins. Enemies can be [[level up|levelled up]] by defeating them in the World Tour and Toad Rally modes. In Toad Rally, each level adds a single coin bonus for defeating that enemy. Enemies can be levelled up three times to get the maximum bonus of 3 coins. Some objects cause coins to start appearing when interacted with, like [[Pause Block]]s. Taking damage causes the player to drop five coins.

In World Tour mode, the highest number of coins collected in a single run of a course is tracked. This can be compared wit the highest number of coins the player's friends have collected in the same course. Completing a world, which actually means completing the last course in a world, each time except the first grants the player 100 coins from a treasure chest. This excludes [[World 6 (Super Mario Run)|World 6]] and [[World Star (Super Mario Run)|World Star]].

In Toad Rally mode, players compete against the "ghost data" of other players, with coins serving as the score. However, the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s players convince to cheer for them during the run multiply the coins collected at the conclusion. Collecting coins additionally fills a meter that starts a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]] when fill. During a Coin Rush, more coins will appear and the enemy scoring chain grants twice the number of coins. Collecting coins during a Coin Rush makes it last longer.

In Remix 10, a bubbled item will appear for every 100 coins collected (a [[Super Mushroom]] if the player is [[Small Mario|small]], and a [[Super Star]] if they are [[Super Mario (form)|Super]]). The coin counter resets when this happens.

In Kingdom Builder mode, some Toads carry coins for the player to collect. This is done by tapping on the Toad or the [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]] they are next to. Additionally, several buildings, like ? Blocks and [[Toad House|Bonus Game House]]s, can be interacted with to receive coins. The coins collected in this mode, in World Tour, and in Toad Rally (excluding Friendly Runs) are added to a total used to buy [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|buildings and decorations]] in the Shop. The recurring Loads of Coins event multiplies the coins received from Toad Rally by 1.5, but only if the player wins the Rally. The total number of coins ever collected is tracked as part of the Player Record.

Red Coins, worth one coin, and Blue Coins, worth two coins, return. They are accompanied by various [[color coin]]s, which include [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]]s, [[Purple Coin]]s, [[Black Coin]]s, and their ★ variations. Color coins are worth 10 coins, and different modes use them in different ways. Hidden Coins return, and are able to hide regular coins and color coins. A [[Coin making arrow|new object similar to Hidden Coin]]s is introduced, only it makes coins appear in a direction away from it.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Bowser Castle Treasure Vault SMO.png|thumb|200px|Stacks of coins in the [[Bowser's Kingdom#Bonus areas|Treasure Vault]] of [[Bowser's Castle]].]]
Coins return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''; however, rather than giving an extra life for every 100 collected (as lives are absent), or healing Mario (as [[Heart (item)|hearts]] fulfill this role), they are instead used as a global currency in this game and can be spent on clothing, [[Power Moon]]s, and [[Life-Up Heart]]s in the [[Crazy Cap]] stores spread across the kingdoms. Mario drops 10 coins each time he dies, which land in a circle around where this occurred. Coins that land in hazardous substances (such as [[poison (obstacle)|poison]]) or fall down pits vanish. Coins that land on the ground can be recollected, but they disappear if Mario dies again or if he goes through a transition to a different area. Coin rings, coin piles, and invisible coins can also be found. This game also introduces [[regional coin]]s, which are purple and can only be spent in the kingdoms in which they are found.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Coins and Pink Coins both return as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', in addition to [[10-Coin]]s, [[30-Coin]]s, and [[50-Coin]]s. Coins have an essential role in Story Mode, as Mario has to collect them to reconstruct [[Peach's Castle]].<ref>{{cite|quote=We need those Coins to rebuild the castle!|author=[[Toadette|Chief]]|date=2019|title=''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> Coins can be [[Frozen Coin|encased in ice]] as of version 2.0 but can be thawed with fire-based attacks or enemies.

====''Super Mario Bros. 35''====
Coins could be obtained and used for the Item Roulette in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 35]]''.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Coins act as they do in previous games. Their choppier spinning animation is similar to those found in older games, like ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''.<ref>{{cite|quote=Here's a close-up and slo-mo.

[[Flower coin]]s, as well as their [[10-flower coin|10-Coin variant]], are also introduced in this game.

===''Yoshi''===
{{multiframe|[[File:YoshiNES-Coin-BType.png|28px]] [[File:YoshiGB-Coin.png|28px]]|A sprite of a Coin in ''Yoshi''{{'}}s Famicom/NES version (left) and the Game Boy version (right)|size=200}}
Coins appear in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' after the player clears levels 25 through 27 of the B-Type game. Coins are worth 1,200 points when collected.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
[[File:SMK Coin Item Box Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Coins appear on each course in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They increase the top speed of [[kart]]s, going up to ten. Players drop either one, two, or four coins when either hit by another driver, going out of bounds, or being hit by an item. Coins can appear as items that give the player two extra coins.<ref>{{cite|quote=The Coin adds 2 coins to your total.|date=1992|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/common/pdf/CLV-P-SAAFE.pdf|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|format=PDF|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=14}}</ref>

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Coins increase top speed and weight in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. The player can have up to 55 coins,<ref>{{cite|quote=You can collect up to 55 coins.|date=2001|url=www.nintendo.com/eu/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/game_boy_advance_8/Manual_GameBoyAdvance_MarioKartSuperCircuit_EN_DE_FR_ES_IT.pdf|format=PDF|title=''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|page=11}}</ref> because every course has 50 coins and the player can receive five coins at the start, depending on their position. A difference from before is that an alarm sounds if the player has either one or zero coins. Coins can be removed in Quick Run and VS mode.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[File:MKDS Coin.gif|frame|A Coin seen in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
Coins appear only during certain missions of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', with the goal being to collect all of them.<ref>{{cite|quote=Collect all 15 coins while avoiding the Chain Chomp!|url=www.nintendo.com/eu/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_ds_21/Manual_NintendoDS_MarioKartDS_EN.pdf|date=2005|format=PDF|title=''Mario Kart DS'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|page=22}}</ref> Contact with a hazard causes the player to drop coins.

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''====
Coins are collectible during races in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. They are much like in ''Super Mario Kart'', they can be gained by hitting opponents and increase the user's top speed.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Coins are the central focus of the [[Mario Kart (series)#Coin Runners|Coin Runners]] battle game in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where players drive around to collect them, though being hit by an item causes them to lose coins. The team with the most coins wins,<ref>{{cite|quote=The team that collects the most coins wins.|date=2008|title=''Mario Kart Wii'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=13}}</ref> specifically once the three minutes are up. There were online tournaments where players had to collect enough coins to complete a mission.

====''Mario Kart 7''==== 
Coins are located throughout every course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', with up to ten coins being obtainable,<ref name=mk7>{{cite|quote=Collect the coins found on the courses, up to a maximum of ten, to increase your top speed.|url=csassets.nintendo.com/noaext/image/private/t_KA_PDF/manual-3DS-mario-kart-7-en|format=PDF|title=''Mario Kart 7'' digital manual|page=8}}</ref> Coins increase the user's top speed,<ref name=mk7/> like in ''Super Mario Kart''. A player who either falls off-course or get hit by an item drops three coins (excluding [[fireball]]s, which cause them to drop one coin instead). From this game onward, every 50 coins unlock kart parts for the player's vehicle. Coin Runners returns from ''Mario Kart Wii''.

There is a glitch where the player can end the race with more than 10 coins, as long as they don't get hit before finishing, then all coins exceeding the limit will be "destroyed".

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Coins return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', serving the same purpose as in ''Mario Kart 7'', though the Coin Runners mode of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' allows players to hold more than ten coins. Coins are obtainable by completing races, Time Trials, online races, and (in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' only) battles. Coins received by additional players are counted toward the player's total, though not in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Besides appearing around courses, the Coin item returns from ''Super Mario Kart'', working the same as before. An August 2014 update for the original game makes it possible to how many coins are obtained collected through matches. 

On [[Hyrule Circuit]], coins are replaced with Rupees, on [[Animal Crossing]], they are replaced with Bells, and on [[Urchin Underpass]], they are replaced with Cash, the currencies of the series of origin (''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Animal Crossing'', and ''Splatoon'', respectively). On [[Mute City]] and [[Big Blue]], coins are not present on the track, but are instead obtained either from driving over recharge strips on the track, knocking them out of rival racers, or from Item Boxes. On the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] course featured in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', coins use their design from the ''Yoshi's Island'' games, depicting Yoshi's face on either side, and produce the same sound heard in those games when collected.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Coins appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where they work in a similar manner to previous entries. In this game, the counter displays more than ten coins per race, like in ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', and coins from Item Boxes are automatically used. However, coins do not provide any speed advantages to the player during races. The player is given points for every coin they get in a race. [[Red Coin|Red]] and [[Blue Coin]]s also appear in [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] and various bonus challenges, and are worth two and five coins, respectively, as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Up to 300 coins can be earned from races daily, or 600 if the user is subscribed to the Gold Pass. The [[Coin Box]] item also releases many coins at once. The Coin Box+ boost also allows Red Coins to be released by the Coin Box. Coins can be used in the shop to buy [[characters|drivers]], [[kart]]s, [[glider]]s, [[item ticket]]s and [[point-boost ticket]]s. Players can send Greeting Coins to their friends once every day, which gives them five coins. If a player does not collect the coins given by their friend, the coins will begin to stack.

During events, coins are usually replaced by [[event token]]s and Team Rally tokens. Some of the coins released from the Coin Box are also turned into event tokens. The Red Coins created by Coin Box+ boost are also replaced by event tokens.<ref>{{cite|author=HalfHydra|date=September 2, 2021|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCk5VLpszEg|title=Myth: Are Red Coins Overwritten?|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=September 13, 2021}}</ref>

The following gliders increase the chance of getting coins from Item Boxes and points from collecting one.

===''Super Mario Bros.'' film===
Although coins are not given an on-screen appearance in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'']] film, they are alluded to by an elderly woman mugging the Mario Bros., referring to them as "Koopa Coins".

===''Wario Land'' series===
====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''====
[[File:WL1 Coin.png|frame]]
[[File:WL1 10 Gold Coin.png|frame|left|10 Gold Coin]]
In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', Coins, also named '''1 Gold Coins''',<ref>{{cite|date=1994|title=''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|page=8}}</ref> work similarly as in the ''Super Mario'' series. They can be obtained either in midair, in water, by defeating enemies with a [[Ground Pound|Body Slam]], or by destroying [[block]]s. Coins also have the [[10-Coin|10 Gold Coin]] variety, worth ten coins. Coins are spent on minigames after a level. One minigame involves guessing which of the two buckets has a money bag but not the 10-ton weight, which double and half the player's coin total, respectively.

====''Wario Land II''====
''[[Wario Land II]]'' features regular, small coins, worth one total, and large Wario coins, worth ten. Coins are obtained through the same means as the predecessor. Defeating an enemy can rarely produce a silver coin worth 100 coins, playing a unique sound effect, or by throwing two enemies together. If Wario takes damage from an enemy, he loses coins. The player can spend either 50, 100, or 200 coins to play a [[Minigame#Wario Land II|minigame]] where tiles of enemies appear, and the more coins spent, the longer the tiles appear. Completing the minigame earns Wario treasure.

====''Wario Land 3''====
[[File:WL3 Musical Coin.png|thumb|A Musical Coin in ''Wario Land 3''.]]
Regular gold coins in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' are worth one coin, while gray, red, green, and blue coins are all worth 10.<ref>{{cite|date=2000|title=''Wario Land 3'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=21}}</ref> Every level has eight [[Musical Coin]]s, also worth ten, and can unlock a golf course. Unlike ''Wario Land II'', coins can be obtained from blocks only, and Wario does not lose coins if hit by enemies. Regular coins are used to play a golf minigame in certain levels, and completing the minigame earns Wario treasures.
{{br}}

====''Wario Land 4''====
[[File:WL4-Coins.png|frame|left]]
The [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|Coins]] in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' appear in a variety of colors, each having a different values. Wario can also collect [[Diamond]]s, which are worth money as well. Wario can earn coins by defeating enemies,<ref>{{cite|quote=For some reason, coins appear when you smash enemies!|date=2001|url=www.nintendo.com/eu/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/game_boy_advance_8/Manual_GameBoyAdvance_WarioLand4_EN_DE_FR_ES_IT.pdf|title=''Wario Land 4'' British English instruction booklet|format=PDF|page=19}}</ref> like in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' and ''Wario Land II''. However, Wario loses coins and health if an enemy damages him. Coins can also be obtained by destroying blocks. A Gold Coin is produced by opening a [[CD]] case, a [[Full Health Item]] box, a [[jewel piece]] box, and clearing a [[pinball digital counter]]. The player can unlock a [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]] mode in the [[Sound Room]] by receiving 10,000 points worth of coins. Coins are also used to play the three [[Minigame#Wario Land 4|minigame]]s in the [[Mini-Game Shop]], which in turn can be used to gain [[Medal (Wario Land 4)|medal]]s to purchase [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|items]].

====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', there are different variants of coins, each adding a different value to the coin count: '''bronze coins''', which are worth one coin, [[Five Coin|silver coin]]s, which are worth five coins; [[10-Coin|gold coin]]s, which are worth ten coins; [[50-Coin|large silver coin]]s, which are worth fifty coins; and [[100-Coin|large gold coin]]s, which are worth one hundred coins. They are mostly found floating in the air, but they can also be obtained from {{id|Coin Bag|WLSI}}s. They can be accumulated throughout the game and used to buy things from [[Captain Syrup]]'s [[Pirate Shop]]. Collecting coins is also an objective for many missions in the game.

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:Coin.gif|frame|left]]
[[File:YIDS Coin.jpg|thumb|100px|A Coin from ''Yoshi's Island DS'']]
Coins commonly appear throughout each level in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], functioning similarly to their appearances in the ''Super Mario'' series. ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' introduced [[Red Coin|red coin]]s, which are disguised as regular coins in each level and will be exposed as red coins once the player collects them. As the player collects all red coins, the player will make the game closer to 100% [[completion]]. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' (though not its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]), all coins on the background layer have a beige shading, while all on the sprite layer (including all disguised red coins) have an orange shading. In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', both coins and Red Coins retain the same purpose as before, and the game also introduced [[character coin]]s, which portray the baby character's head on them. Collecting the coins will give the player a [[minigame]] in the game's [[Hard Mode]] as a reward. Coins reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', functioning no differently than before.
{{br}}

===''UNDAKE30 Same Game''===
In ''[[UNDAKE30 Same Game]]'', coins appear as one of the icons on the playing field.

===''Mario's FUNdamentals''===
In ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'', coins appear in the Dominoes game on dominoes that are numbered 3.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Coins are currency used for purchasing items, weapons, armor, and accessories in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Coins appear in small and large sizes, worth one and ten coins, respectively. The player can have up to 999 in the original and 9,999 in the remake. Coins are obtainable by either defeating enemies or obtaining them from chests. The game uniquely features [[Frog Coin]]s, which serve as their own type of currency.

===''Mario Net Quest''===
Coins are worth 500 coins when clicked from a floor tile in ''[[Mario Net Quest]]''.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
[[File:YS_HeartCoin.png|thumb|left|A coin in ''Yoshi's Story'']]
[[File:YoshisStoryCoin.gif|frame]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', coins have a different design, having a yellow and orange color scheme and a heart-shaped symbol. In this game, coins can be collected for [[♥]]s to boost a [[Baby Yoshi#Yoshi's Story|Baby Yoshi]]'s mood. If all coins are collected in an area, it sometimes makes [[melon]]s appear. Coins can be hidden everywhere in a stage, including in the sky and in the ground. In some areas of every level, when a [[Heart Fruit]] is eaten, heart coins appear in different formations and must all be collected before they disappear.

===''Mario Party'' series=== 
Coins are needed to win a game in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Without coins, the player cannot purchase [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s, the main items in order to win, or items that can help the player or hinder opponents. Coins can be acquired by landing on a [[Blue Space]], certain [[Event Space]]s, and [[DK Space]]s. Also, ten coins are acquired every time a player wins a [[Minigame#Mario Party series|minigame]] or when the game begins. Coin minigames exist, and they can make the player receive a certain number of coins depending on the coins found during said game. Coins can also be acquired via Battle minigames, where a set number of coins must be donated into a pot. Once the minigame has ended, the number of coins in the pot is given to the players, depending on how well they did in the minigames. Due to the difference in gameplay, coins do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. Coins appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', but only in the minigame [[Deck Hunt]]. Coins serve their original purpose in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[amiibo]] Party mode, though they are still absent from the game's Mario Party and Bowser Party modes. The maximum coins that can be collected is 999.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Gold (collectible)}}
Different types of Coins called [[Smash Coin]]s also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' coin battle matches. In these matches, coins can be earned when a player hits another. The player may lose coins if they were sent flying off-screen and the coins lost can be received by the opposing players or collect back. If they were turned into a star, the coins will be lost in the background.

Coins are also needed to operate the {{iw|smashwiki|Lottery}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and the {{iw|smashwiki|Coin Launcher}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. These coins are used to get trophies and stickers.

Coins are produced from the move [[Super Jump Punch]] by [[Mario]], [[Dr. Mario]] (in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''), and [[Luigi]] (only when sourspotted), using their design from ''Super Mario 64'' up until ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where their design is based on the [[Star Coin]]s from the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', when [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] becomes [[Cappy]], the coins are replaced by [[regional coin]]s from the [[Metro Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' (though this is exclusive to Mario), which use the same sound effect from the original game. The coins from this move have no practical effect.

Coins also appear in the [[Golden Plains]] stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. Collecting 100 of these turns the character [[Gold Mario|gold]] and increases their attack power and launch resistance for a period of time.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Coins are fairly common. They appear whenever an [[enemy]] is defeated. However, when Mario runs away from a battle, he loses coins. Coins are found not only in ? Blocks, but also in trees, bushes, and other hidden areas. To get a single coin from a tree, Mario has to use his [[Hammer]] to make the tree shake so that the single coin falls down. To find the single coin in a bush, Mario simply tries to search a bush when he goes near one. Coins are used to buy items or [[badges]] in the games. Mario can hold up to 999 coins in this game.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Coins return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They have the same use as in ''Paper Mario''. Mario starts with 100 coins, although half of them are stolen by a [[Bandit]] when Mario first enters the east side of [[Rogueport]]. Mario can retrieve the stolen coins if he tracks down the Bandit in a house behind the inn in Rogueport's main plaza. Mario can hold up to 999 coins in the original game, and 9,999 coins in the Nintendo Switch remake.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' explains that Coins came from the [[Sammer Guy]] warrior [[List of Sammer Guys#Footsteps of Coins|Footsteps of Coins]], who is the one who purposely drops coins around the universe. However, this explanation is merely part of Footsteps of Coin's opening speech, so its accuracy can be considered poor. In the game, each enemy releases coins when defeated. The stronger the enemy, the more coins are released. Some items also increase the number of coins gained after defeating an enemy. Coins serve as currency to buy items (or, after the end of the game, the rare [[Pixl]] Tiptron). A total of 999 coins can be held by Mario in this game; any more will disappear. In this game, coins can also be gained using the [[Happy Flower (Super Paper Mario)|Happy Flower]] to produce coins, or selling items for coins. Because of the more platformer-style gameplay compared to previous and succeeding entries, fleeing from an enemy will not have the player lose coins.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Coins, made of cardboard since this game, appear in some ? Blocks, are found in secret areas, and are awarded after collecting a [[Comet Piece]]. Additionally, Mario may sell his various stickers for coins. If Mario continues attacking an enemy after all its HP is gone, he will gain one coin for every additional hit. The main purpose of Coins is to buy stickers or Things, to use the [[Battle Spin]] or to get two sections of the spinner to match up, or pay the enemies bullying [[Traveling Toad|a Toad]] in some areas. In this game, Mario can hold up to 9,999 coins. Spending 10,000 coins at various shops earns Mario the "Super Shopper" [[Super Flag]]. A perfect bonus earned from winning a battle in the first turn without taking any damage will also give Mario coins. Unlike the previous installments, Mario no longer loses coins when fleeing from battle.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Coins are primarily earned from finding them in ? Blocks, defeating enemies, repainting [[colorless spot]]s, and collecting [[Mini Paint Star]]s. Winning a battle without taking any damage, or after [[Kamek]] has cursed Mario's cards, will award a coin bonus. The mechanic of coins being earned when dealing damage after defeating an enemy returns from ''Sticker Star''. Coins are awarded as prizes from the [[Roshambo Temple]]s, in addition to Koopaling Battle Cards. Mario will earn 300 coins every time he finds Luigi using the [[Cutout]] technique. In this game, Mario can hold up to 9,999 coins.

The main purpose of Coins is to buy [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Cards]] or [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Things|Things]], buy services from various cafés throughout the game, or to use the [[Battle Spin]]. Additionally, Mario may buy hints from NPCs such as the ''[[Prisma Times]]'' Toad or the [["Deep Cuts" Toad]]. In the [[Tangerino Grill]], Mario can purchase extra ingredients from the [[Peddler Kinopio]] to make the cooking minigames easier. The [[Cobalt Base]] offers Mario the chance to buy various card decks from the [[Informant Mūcho]]. Mario must collect a minimum of 25 coins using [[Cannonball]]s to complete a section of the [[Violet Passage]]. [[Wendy]] can use coins against Mario in her battle; unlike in other games, thrown coins also hurt Mario when collected. Collecting a total of 10,000 coins earns Mario the "Gold Bug" Super Flag.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:CoinPMTOK.png|thumb|100px|Coins in ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', coins are obtainable in the overworld and earned from winning battles, with additional coins being earned if Mario takes no damage or solves a ring puzzle. In addition to normal coins, there are 10-Coins, 100-Coins, and 1,000-coin bags. Unlike previous ''Paper Mario'' games, Mario can hold up to 999,999 coins. Mario earns the Coin Collector trophy if he collects a total of 300,000 coins. Coins can also be used to increase the time limit during battles (exchanging 10 coins for one second) and to cheer to help solve a ring puzzle (up to 999 coins for maximum effect). In [[Shogun Studios]], coins are referred to as "gold bits".
{{br}}

===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
[[File:LM Gold Coin.png|thumb|175px|Five coins as seen in ''Luigi's Mansion'']]
[[File:LM Gold Coin Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Coins appear throughout the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]]. In every installment, when [[Luigi]] takes damage, he loses a few Coins, which disappear if he does not collect them quickly enough. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS version]], Coins are the most common treasure, worth 5,000 G, and can be found all over the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]]. Both the [[Red Diamond (Luigi's Mansion)|Red Diamond]] and [[King Boo]]'s [[crown (King Boo)|crown]] are worth the same as a regular coin. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', Coins reappear, though with a more octagonal shape and a value of 1 G each. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', coins function identically to their appearance in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', though there are piggy banks that can be shattered for many coins to scatter about.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
Coins appear in Coin-collecting challenges on courses in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', and ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. They make up various formations, from basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles, to unique ones like clouds, fish, and clovers. In these challenges, when selecting where to aim the shot, the Coins spin faster when the ball's path will go into them, and it attracts the Coins as it flies close to and through them. For ''Toadstool Tour'', the Coins take their ''Super Mario 64'' appearance, and the challenges are in the form of regular games, where the player must collect as many Coins as possible while finishing on or below par. In ''World Tour'', the Coins return to their regular form, and are awarded to the players for completing challenges, finishing rounds, and as prizes for finishing tournaments. Coins can be used to purchase golf gear in the Castle Club, and are seen in Mario Golf challenges and Character Costume Challenges. These challenges are unique that they do not act like regular rounds, therefore there are no flags and cups on the greens. Instead, without having to worry about sinking the ball, players collect a set amount of Coins by hitting the ball through them in two strokes less than the hole's par. In Quick Round, the Coins may or may not appear on the course when playing on them. But when going on practice rounds through the Castle Club, the Coins are always there. Obtaining Coins in any way adds them to the player's coin total. In ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'', they act as energy instead of items, and they are lost if the player swings too hard after [[Wario]]'s Lightning Blast. In Speed Golf, they are lost from the same condition as regular golf, but they can also be lost if they are hit by a special shot that knocks balls away. They also appear in [[Mario Golf: Super Rush#Battle Golf|Battle Golf]] mode where they are lost if the player makes contact with water, gets crushed by a [[Thwomp]], gets eaten by a [[Chain Chomp]], gets stomped by a [[Whomp]], gets hit by a [[Bob-omb]], slips on a [[Banana]], or makes contact with a special shot that knocks away balls.

===''Wario World''===
Coins appear in small and large sizes in ''[[Wario World]]'', and are obtainable by defeating enemies and breaking objects. Floating coins also appear in bonus rooms. Coins are used to buy [[garlic]] from [[Garlic Dispenser]]s and to continue where the player left off if they lose all health.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' introduces [[Beanbean coin]]s. At the beginning of the game, [[Bowser]] gets stuck in a cannon in [[Stardust Fields]], and [[Tolstar]] demands 100 coins to release him. However, no matter how many coins the player currently has, the exchange rate always translates to 10 Beanbean coins, and Tolstar orders the bros. to find 100 coins around Stardust Fields. Later in the game, [[Prince Peasley]] makes a bet of 99,999,999,999,999 Mushroom coins with Mario and Luigi over who would find the pieces of the [[Beanstar]] first. Mario and Luigi win, and [[Prince Peasley]] rewards them with the promised coins. However, since they are Mushroom coins, the exchange rate translates into only 99 [[Beanbean coin]]s. Coins are obtained from blocks or winning battles, and are used to buy items, badges, or equipment from shops. In the original game, the player can also lose coins if they run away from battles. In the original game, the maximum amount of coins that can be held is 9,999.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:M&LPIT Coin sprite.png|right]]
Regular coins return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They can be obtained by hitting blocks or by defeating enemies. In some places, there are larger yellow coins and blue coins that can only be obtained by spinning [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] through the air and into the tornado, making them soar farther and descending to collect the coins. Like ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', coins are also used for currency in this game. [[10-Coin|10 Coin]]s, [[20 Coin]]s and [[100-Coin]]s also appear, and they are worth ten, twenty, and one hundred coins each, respectively.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' also has a similar way of collecting coins very much like the previous games. Most coins are found in blocks and by defeating enemies. Coins are needed to buy more accessories and items to help the player out.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' also has a similar way of collecting coins very much like the previous games. Most coins are found in blocks and by defeating enemies. Coins are needed to buy more accessories and items to help the player out. Larger Coins, with values up to 100, can be found in hard-to-reach places as rewards. Also, unlike in previous installments, neither of the bros lose coins for fleeing in battle.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Coins reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', obtainable and usable as in the previous installments. Coins can also be found in Drill Spots.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
As with the previous installments, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' has coins that can be obtained and used in the same manner. In addition, there are [[M Coin]]s and [[L Coins]] that yield two coins when their respective bros collect them.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:Coin SPP.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Princess Peach'']]
Coins are also collectible items in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', this time to purchase items at the [[Super Princess Peach#Shop|shop]]. Besides appearing around levels, coins can also be obtained by completing any of the minigames [[Toad Jump]], [[Toad Tote]], and [[Toad Shot]]. There is another coin variety named [[Five Coin]], which is worth said amount.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series=== 
[[File:M&DKMotM Coin.png|thumb|left]]
Coins appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'', and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]''. They are collected to raise the player's score. A large coin is worth five small coins. In ''Minis March Again!'' and ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'', by collecting 100 coins, the player gets an [[M-Token]].

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
In both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', coins play a role in both of the challenge modes and both of the Toy Fields. Coins are needed in both games to buy items to either unlock events or help the player when they are playing with someone else. In Toy Field, coins are needed to win the game, and coins could be obtained by hitting an RBI or the Hit spaces in the field. Though similar, both Toy Fields have different ways of getting coins, such as shooting an item at an opposing player in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' or get a right item in a slot in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
Coins are obtainable from [[? Panel]]s in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''.<ref>{{cite|quote=Dribble the ball over the ? panels to get coins.|date=2006|title=''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=14}}</ref> Each team can carry up to 100 coins. Each coin give players additional points when scoring a basket.

===''Diddy Kong Racing DS''===
[[File:Coin DKRDS.png|thumb|left|[[Diddy Kong]] driving between two coins in [[Fossil Canyon]]]] 
Coins can be collected on every track ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''.

Coins can be spent at [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Taj's Wishes Menu|Taj's Wishes Menu]] to unlock additional content, such as courses and modes. Furthermore, if a racer picks up a green [[Weapon Balloon]] and applies a [[Power-Up Token]] to it, the item becomes five [[Fake Coin]]s.

Like ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Coins can also appear in stacks, and invisible coins can be revealed by walking through them or touching them on the GamePad. Every 100 coins collected results in an [[extra life]].

Besides collecting the coins themselves, Coins can also be collected by tapping posters found on walls, holding a [[Flaptor]] for a few seconds using the touchscreen on the GamePad, defeating most enemies (except [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s, which only yield a single Coin per [[Bill Blaster]]), throwing a [[Turnip]] at something, or collecting a [[Super Mushroom]] while already in Super form, which results in 10 coins.

Coins are made from either cardboard (in the Standard Editions of the game) or plastic (in the "Collector's Edition"). Coins are used to buy Properties on the board or in Auctions and pay Rent & Jail fees. Some portions of the game force players to drop a given number of coins on their current space (usually by a roll of a [[Red Shell]], [[Green Shell]], or [[POW Block]] on the "Power-Up Die"), where the next player who lands on or passes over that space can pick them up. At the end of the game, every five coins a player has (rounded down) earns the player 10 points toward their final score (points are also earned by Properties owned and Bosses defeated in the game). Two-coin sides also appear on the "Power-Up Die". Rolling the coins normally allows the player to collect three coins from the Bank, although certain characters may have a "Power-Up Boost" that enhances or changes this power-up.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
[[File:YCW Coin 01.png|thumb|100px|A Coin from ''Yoshi's Crafted World''.]]

The maximum amount of coins the player can hold is 9999. The coins depict a [[Yoshi's Egg]] on one side, and the number one on the other, a trait shared with Red Coins and Blue Coins. On the front side of every course, hitting a craft in the foreground or the background earns the player coins. Hitting certain crafts multiple times as they are launched in the air results in more coins being earned. Hitting a pink-winged [[Time Cloud]] allows Yoshi to do the same as the view switches sides.

==Types of coins==
===Yellow Coins===
[[File:SM64 Yellow Coin art.jpg|thumb|100px|A Yellow Coin]]
Yellow Coins are the main types of coins found in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They are found everywhere, ranging from floating in the air, acquiring them through blocks, or by defeating enemies. Generally in ''Super Mario'' side-scrolling games, they are worth 50, 100 or 200 points. Collecting either 50 or 100 in certain games will make the player earn an extra life. Yellow Coins are the primary normal coins in most games. While their designs occasionally vary, they are most often depicted as circular or oblong tokens with a sans-serif "one" numeral debossed in the center of each face.

===Red Coins===
[[File:Red Coin SM64 artwork.jpg|thumb|left|100px|A Red Coin]]
{{main|Red Coin}}
Red Coins are uncommon, but not rare in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. They first appeared as coins disguised as yellow coins in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but later on, they are found in certain parts of a level or scattered throughout the level. They are worth more than Yellow Coins, as each Red Coin is worth two Yellow Coins in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and collecting eight of them reveals a [[Power Star]]. Likewise, in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a [[Shine Sprite]] appears when eight Red Coins are collected. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' they are worth 5 Yellow Coins, replacing [[coin bag]]s from previous ''Mario Party'' games. Their function varies from game to game, but the player usually has to collect eight of them to do something. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels, the player is granted an item such as a [[Fire Flower]] upon collecting 8 Red Coins, but they only have a small amount of time to collect them.

===Blue Coins===
[[File:Blue Coin SMS.png|thumb|100px|A Blue Coin]]
{{main|Blue Coin}}
Blue Coins are either part of completion of a game or another way of getting more coins. In ''Super Mario 64'', they are found by defeating certain enemies or ground-pounding a [[Blue Coin Block]]. They are worth five Yellow Coins each as opposed to one. Blue Coins are found in hidden parts in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and are required in order to complete the game 100%, as ten Blue Coins can be spent to get a [[Shine Sprite]]. In most other games, they appear after a [[P Switch]] is pressed, and are worth one coin each.

===Purple Coins===
[[File:PurpleCoin.png|thumb|left|100px|A Purple Coin]]
{{main|Purple Coin}}
Purple Coins are found only in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' when a Purple Comet is orbiting a [[galaxy]]. Purple Coins can appear throughout a level, or they can appear in a certain spot. If the player can collect 100 Purple Coins (sometimes within a time limit), they can receive a Star. Unlike regular coins, Purple Coins do not heal lost health or restore breath while underwater.

===? Coins===
[[File:Question Coin.jpg|thumb|100px|A ? Coin]]
{{main|? Coin}}
? Coins are found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]]. These coins do not count as normal coins, but they have many uses. Often, they make Coins, [[Star Bit]]s, Power-Ups, and [[note]]s appear. In the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], they even make other ? Coins appear.

===Dragon Coins===
[[File:YoshiCoin_SMW.png|thumb|left|100px]]

Also, there are 231 in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and 246 in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and they serve for unlocking [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]]/[[Superstar Road]] levels and in the former, buying Hint Videos for Princess Peach's Castle. Their locations, function, and size are similar to that of Dragon Coins.
{{br}}

===Ace Coins===
{{main|Ace Coin}}

Moon Coins appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and are only found in [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]]. They have a [[3-Up Moon]] imprinted on them. These coins replace the [[Star Coin]]s of other worlds in the game. However, Moon Coins cannot be used as Star Coins (therefore they cannot be used to remove [[Star Coin Sign]]s). Moon Coins are only used for collecting and are required to obtain one of the stars on the player's save file.

===Green Coins===
{{main|Green Coin}}
[[File:Green CoinNSMBU.png|thumb|Three Green Coins]]
Green Coins have appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Green Coins are activated by moving through a [[Green Ring]]. In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, they act much like Red Coins, but these coins disappear much faster and five groups of three need to be collected. They always appear in groups of three and form a clover shape. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', eight coins appear, and collecting them all results in a [[Green Star]] appearing.

===Mario Coins===
{{main|Mario Coin}}
[[File: MKAGP2 MarioCoin.jpg|thumb|left|150px]]

In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the Coin description claims that it is unclear as to whether or not Coins are the official currency of The Mushroom World, even though they were used as such in several games before this, such as ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', ''Paper Mario'', and ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''.

There seems to be an endless supply hidden in various blocks, and Mario gains an extra life when he manages to collect a hundred of them.

==Notes==
*The {{iw|pikipedia|Poko}}s from ''{{iw|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'' use a similar design to the ''Super Mario'' franchise's coins.
*"Koopabits" in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' stories are worth one coin.
*The {{wp|Cleveland Guardians}} of {{wp|Major League Baseball}} play the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario Bros.'' for each scoring runner.
*The coin sound effect is used for selecting NES/Famicom Disk System and SNES video games on the [[Virtual Console]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], with the specific version of the sound effect varying between the two systems; if it is NES/FDS, the version from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays, while the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' version plays when an SNES game is selected. Similarly, the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario Bros.'' plays when booting up [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], the coin sound effect from ''Super Mario World'' plays when booting up [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], and the coin sound effect from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (also heard when starting the game) plays when booting up [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]].
