'''Purple Coins''' are [[Coin]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They will most often appear when a [[Purple Comet]] is in orbit of a Galaxy.

'''Purple Coins''' are special [[coin]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They appear in the major [[galaxy|galaxies]] only when a [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|Purple Comet]] is in orbit of a galaxy. Unlike regular coins, these coins do not restore any of the player's [[Health Meter|health]] or refill the air gauge while underwater. They later appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as a special collectible in stages after the player completes the Pink Coin Challenge.


==History==
The [[player]] will always need to collect one-hundred Purple Coins to make a [[Power Star]] appear. Purple Coin Missions sometimes have a time limit. When there a is time limit, the Purple Coins are usually either set along a linear path, or one-hunrded and fifty will appear and only one-hundred of them need to collected. Additionally, once the Power Star appears, the player must collect it before the remaining time runs out.
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:LuigiPurpleCoins.png|thumb|left|200px|The Purple Coin challenge in [[Toy Time Galaxy]]]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player always needs to collect 100 Purple Coins to make a [[Power Star]] appear. In missions with a time limit, the Purple Coins are sometimes set along a linear path; additionally, once the Power Star appears, it has to be grabbed before the remaining time runs out. Other times, more than 100 Purple Coins are scattered in a big area, and the player has to explore every area and figure out the best path to collect the required 100.


There are two Purple Coin missions that are not activated by a Purple Comet: One is in the [[Gateway Galaxy]], and another is in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]].
In missions that aren't timed, the Purple Coins will be spread out across the level, requiring the player to explore every area in order to find them all.


All of the timed Purple Coin missions have background music that contains parts from [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s theme. The Purple Coin missions of the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and [[Dreadnought Galaxy]] have the same music, even though the missions do not have time limits; this is because [[Mario]] collects Purple Coins set in a linear path while riding on moving [[platform]]s, and he cannot get any coins left behind since the platforms do not backtrack. However, the platforms in the latter mission respawn.
There are two Purple Coin missions that are not activated by a Purple Comet. One in the [[Gateway Galaxy]] and another in the [[Grand Finale Galaxy]].
 
While underwater, in [[Flying Mario]] form, or in [[Bee Mario]] form, Mario can [[spin]] next to Purple Coins to attract them to him and automatically collect them.
 
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===

Purple Coins reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They still appear in comet missions but with a small change: The timer stops once the requirements are met. In the [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]], a Purple Coin is in a purple-colored [[Star Ball]]. In this game, Player 2 can collect Purple Coins for Player 1 along with regular coins.
 
===''Super Mario Run''===
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', a Purple Coin appears as a type of [[color coin]]. Purple Coins replace [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coins]] after all five of them are collected in a [[level]] and are positioned in slightly more difficult-to-reach places. Each Purple Coin is worth ten coins, which are added towards the player's coin total at the end of the level. After all five Purple Coins are collected, they are replaced by [[Black Coin]]s. When Mario collects all the Purple Coins, a Purple Coin Pipe appears, granting access to the level [[Piranha Plant Field]].

[[File:PC Room7.png|thumb|left|Purple Coins in ''NDDEMO'']]
*They are the Super Mario Galaxy equivalent to [[Red Coins]] from [[Super Mario 64]] and [[Super Mario Sunshine]].
[[File:SMO Mushroom Regional Coin Screenshot.png|thumb]]
*This might reflect on the possible 100 coins for a 1-Up from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*In ''[[NDDEMO]]'', when the player enters the room "How Many Coins?", Purple Coins can be seen among the many colored coins that fly out of the [[? Block]] after the player hits it.
*The [[regional coin]]s found in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', which are inspired by the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' coin design, aesthetically resemble Purple Coins.
