| In ''Super Mario World'', at least five Dragon Coins appear in most [[level]]s, although places such as [[castle]]s, [[Ghost House]]s, and [[fortress]]es have no Dragon Coins. Collecting a Dragon Coins plays a unique sound effect, and it is also counted as one coin. The first four coins collected give 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 [[point]]s, respectively, and collecting all five in a level awards the player an [[extra life]]. [[Yoshi's Wings]] can be used to access certain auto-scrolling [[Coin Heaven]]s, where five Dragon Coins can be found. Six or more Dragon Coins may rarely appear in a level, with every Dragon Coin after the fifth also rewarding an extra life. In these levels, going through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a new area causes all remaining Dragon Coins to disappear if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has already collected at least five of them, making the remaining ones unobtainable. [[Chocolate Secret]] is unique for having only one Dragon Coin.

| For the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Game Boy Advance version]], Dragon Coins were given a slightly bigger role. They appear in levels that did not originally have them, including Chocolate Secret now having the standard set of five Dragon Coins, and the number of Dragon Coins acquired is recorded on a menu. If the player collects them all, a cutscene plays, showing all of the collected Dragon Coins falling from the sky and being stacked together; afterwards, a giant Dragon Coin appears, and [[Yoshi]] eats it and lays an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]], which hatches into a giant coin imprinted with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s bust, resulting in all of the Dragon Coins in the game being replaced by '''Princess Coins'''.<ref>{{cite|quote='''GETTING ALL THE DRAGON COINS''' This objective usually goes hand-in-hand with the “Completing All Goals” objective, because you’ll probably do both at the same time. Nevertheless, when you collect five Dragon Coins from every area that has them, you are treated to a short cinema with hundreds of Dragon Coins falling from the ceiling. Yoshi approaches a single Dragon Coin, eats it, and...um...lays an egg that hatches into a Princess Coin. All the Dragon Coins in ''Super Mario World'' are now Princess Coins (in the same locations). You can go back and collect them all, but there is no further in-game benefit to doing so.

| The Dragon Coin's collection sound effect was reused for the [[Advance Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Star Coin]]s in the [[New Super Mario Bros.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the sound effect is internally labeled "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>."<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:New Super Mario Bros.#Sound Effects|New Super Mario Bros. § Sound Effects]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=February 18, 2019}}</ref>

| ===''Game & Watch Gallery 4''===
| |
| In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', a Dragon Coin is used to represent five KOs in the Modern version of ''[[Boxing]]''.
| |
|

|
| ===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
| | There are at least five Dragon Coins littered around most levels in the game (some levels, especially [[castle]]s, have no Dragon Coins in the original SNES version of ''Super Mario World''). The first four coins collected in the game results in 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 points, respectively. Collecting five of them is the equivalent of collecting 100 Gold Coins, awarding an [[extra life]] for the player. On rare occasions, one may encounter six or more Dragon Coins in a single level; in these cases, every Dragon Coin after and including the fifth, award an extra life. In these types of levels, going through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a new area causes all remaining Dragon Coins to disappear if Mario has already collected at least five of them, making the remaining ones unobtainable. [[Chocolate Secret]] is unique, because it contains only one Dragon Coin in the SNES version of ''Super Mario World'', for unknown reasons. In ''Super Mario World''{{'}}s [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', the amount of Dragon Coins acquired are recorded on a menu, and if the player collects them all, the Coins transform into {{conjectural|'''Peach Coins'''}}. |
| In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Dragon Coins appear in the microgame [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]]. Collecting them is not necessary to complete the [[microgame]] and has no real effect on gameplay, although the "Dragon Coin Collection" [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! missions|mission]] requires the player to collect at least four Dragon Coins in all three levels while playing as [[Jimmy T]].

| ===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
| | Most of the games in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] (such as ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'') include Coins (both in-game and in official artwork) which have Yoshi heads shown on them rather than having the normal ''Mario'' coin design. This makes them look exactly like smaller Dragon Coins, and may suggest that all Coins found on [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] were at least once Dragon Coins. The Coins in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' feature a depiction of a [[Yoshi Egg]] instead, however, the larger [[10 Gold Coin]]s do depict Yoshi's head, resembling the Dragon Coins even closer. |
| In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a display box containing a Dragon Coin with the same appearance as its ''Super Mario World'' sprite can be seen in the antiques shop.

| In ''[[Minecraft]]'', in the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, the painting ''Prairie Ride'' added in the Tricky Trials update is replaced by a Dragon Coin.

| |
| Dragon Coins were [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they were going to be a currency along with regular coins for some of the [[Bonus Challenge]]s.<ref>{{cite|title={{iw|tcrf|Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0/Bonus Challenges}}|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=October 30, 2021}}</ref> They were possibly replaced by [[Smiley Flower|flower]]s. The sprite for them is not present in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance port]] at all.

| ==Notes== | | ==Trivia== |
| [[File:YoshisSafari-Coin.png|frame]]
| | *In the ''Nintendo Power'' Advance Guide, the symbol for the Dragon Coins is drawn with a three-tined fork instead of Yoshi's or Peach's likeness. |
| *''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' and every game of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] feature coins with a Yoshi's head on them rather than the normal coin design. The coins on the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' version of the course [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] also features this design, as the course is heavily inspired by ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The coins in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' feature a depiction of a [[Yoshi's Egg]] instead; however, the larger [[10-Coin|10 Coin]]s depict Yoshi's head, similar to Dragon Coins. | | *In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the sound effect for getting a [[Star Coin]] is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", suggesting that they replaced Dragon Coins in the final game.<ref>https://tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects</ref> |
| *The [[Plessie Medal]]s found in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' bear similarities to Dragon Coins.
