| | '''Silver Coins''' are [[coin]]s that only appear when a [[P-Switch]] has been pressed, and will disappear once the P-Switch wears off. Although being called Silver coins, they are more pale blue in colour (however in Super Mario World, both the pale blue coins & actuall silver coins (pictured) appear. |

| '''Silver Coins''' are [[coin]] items in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. | |
|

|
| In the original [[Nintendo 64]] release, every course has a Silver Coin Challenge, where the objective is to collect eight Silver Coins and win in first place. Many of the Silver Coins have a colorful N64 icon designed on the sides and are well hidden or located off-track. The player can only participate in a world's Silver Coin Challenges after winning against the world boss in a race, and every race course has their own minimum requirement of [[Golden Balloon]]s needed to play the challenges. When the player's racer completes a Silver Coin Challenge, [[Taj]] awards them with a Golden Balloon. Completing the Silver Coin Challenge in all four courses of [[Dino Domain]], [[Snowflake Mountain]], [[Sherbet Island]] and [[Dragon Forest]] engages the player in a rematch against the world's boss to obtain a piece of the [[Wizpig amulet]], and obtaining all four pieces leads up to [[Wizpig's First Strike|a race]] with [[Wizpig]] himself. In [[Future Fun Land]], completing the Silver Coin Challenge, plus obtaining all four pieces of the [[T.T. amulet]], engages the player in [[Wizpig Strikes Back|one more race with Wizpig]].
| | Silver Coins first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they appeared out of thin air in certain spots for as long as a P-Switch was in effect. Silver Coins have the same value as standard Gold Coins, and are usually found in clusters. |

| In the remake, the Silver Coin Challenge has been replaced with [[Balloon Touch Challenge]]s in Adventure Mode. The Silver Coin Challenges still exist in the single race mode, and are redesigned with a [[Rare]] symbol on the sides. They can be purchased from Taj's Wishes Menu. Each track's Silver Coin Challenge must be unlocked by completing its respective Balloon Touch Challenge. | | In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', pressing a Silver P-Switch would turn all enemies in Silver Coins for a limited time. However, Silver Coins worked differently from standard coins in this game; if enough were collected, they would start racking up into [[Extra Life|extra lives]], similar to jumping on numerous enemies in succession. In certain levels, a trick involving hordes of enemies and a Silver P-Switch can be executed to earn dozens of extra lives. |

| | They appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', having the same role as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They sometimes appear in a trail behind Invincible Mario in a few levels, like World 7-3. In [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]], they reappear, this time with a deeper blue color, like [[Blue Coin|Blue Coins]], and when the player collects them all in a level before they disappear, the audience cheers. |
