'''M-Tokens''' are special collectible [[coin]]s seen in the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series, first seen in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. In most games they appear in, they contribute to 100% completion. They are generally depicted as having an "M" symbol in the middle and a broad rim surrounding the letter on each face.
==History==
===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''===
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', M-Tokens are white coins with a blue border encircled around it and a red "M" in the center. They only appear in certain stages, where they grant the player an [[Extra Life|extra life]] when collected. They otherwise do not offer any points to the player's score, making them entirely optional to collect. When a mini is touched by an enemy, falls from a large height or onto spikes, or the timer reaches zero, the player will lose one M-Token and be required to try the current level again. M-Tokens can also be lost upon losing all six Mini-Marios in a [[Donkey Kong]] boss battle, or by restarting or exiting a level before clearing it for the first time. When all M-Tokens are gone, the player will receive a [[Game Over]].

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''===
[[File:MToken.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', they appear as blue coins with a golden border around them, along with a gold M in the center of each face. Due to the absence of a life system like in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'', the purpose of an M-Token was changed. M-Tokens appear once in every stage, including boss stages, and are required to be present in every level created in the Construction Zone. M-Tokens reward the player with 2000 points to their score when grabbed, therefore making them vital to earn a trophy on that stage. Additionally, M-Tokens play an important role in unlocking new stages in the special world, [[Rainbow Summit]]. Each stage in this world requires a certain number of M-Tokens to be unlocked. Similarly to [[Mini Mario Card]]s, these items appear to be faded after the stage they were collected in is played again.

In ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'', there are three M-Tokens in each level of the main modes, minus [[Giant Jungle]]. The M-Tokens appear identically but with different colors, one being red, one blue, and one green. Collecting each of the tokens in a level earns the player a star, which can unlock things such as minigames and Minis for the Toy Collection.
In [[Mini Target Smash]] a Golden M-Token sometimes appears. When it is hit, it gives the player 200, 400, or 600 points, depending on where it was hit.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars''===
M-Tokens return in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' under their new name, '''M Coins'''.{{ref needed}} One of them is found in every level in the game and rewards the player 2000 points when collected, just like in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''. However, unlike in that game, M Coins do not have a particular function, being simple collectibles that only contribute to the score. Additionally, M Coins need to exist in every level created in Workshop mode.
