| '''Star Coins''' are recurring collectible items with a [[Super Star]] imprint. They first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Star Coins are based on [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', even reusing the corresponding sound effect for collecting one from ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some other similarly functioning items include the [[Smiley Flower]]s in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], the [[Red Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', and the [[Ace Coin]]s and [[Advance Coin]]s in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]]. Later items of the same basic function known as [[Star Medal]]s appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', followed by the [[Green Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; [[Comet Medal]]s are also similar items found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', [[10-Coin]]s are depicted as large circular coins with an imprint of a Super Star on each, 13 years before Star Coins themselves first appeared. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic coins of each color have an indentation of a star on each of them and are in fact referred to as "(color) Star Coins" in the Japanese manual, though this specification is lost in the English translation.

|
| ==History==
| | '''Star Coins''' are collectibles found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Three Star Coins appear in each level where some are easy to collect, while others require special power-ups such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]] to access. |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| [[File:CoinsStar.png|frame|right]] | |
| Three Star Coins appear in every [[level]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Collecting one adds 1,000 [[point]]s to the player's score, though it is not registered until the level is complete. Some Star Coins may be hidden in areas that require power-ups such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]] to access or collect them. Any collected Star Coin is translucent if the level is replayed. The Touch Screen on the world map shows how many Star Coins have been collected. Five Star Coins are required to open each of the [[Star Coin Sign]]s blocking paths on the world map. After completing the game, the player can spend their Star Coins at the [[Toad House#Blue Toad House|Blue Toad House]] on one of five alternate Touch Screen backgrounds for 20 Star Coins each. Collecting all 240 Star Coins (owing to a total of eighty levels) adds a second star to the player's save file and displays "Complete" on the Touch Screen, next to the Star Coin counter; this message becomes "All Spent" once every Star Coin has been spent on Star Coin Signs and Touch Screen backgrounds.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the game's data, the collection sound effect is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", which suggests that they are inspired from [[Dragon Coin]]s.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' § Sound Effects|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=February 18, 2019}}</ref> | | In ''New Super Mario Bros.'' there are eighty levels, thus there are 240 Star Coins to find in the game. Each Star Coin adds 1,000 [[point]]s to the player's game score. |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| | They also appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, there are 231 Star Coins. Three Star Coins appear in each of the game's seventy-seven levels much like ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Also, collecting one adds 4,000 points to the player's total score, instead of 1,000 like in its predecessor. |
| [[File:NSMBW Star Coin Collection Sprite.png|frame|right]]
| |
| Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They have a higher value of 4,000 points, and there is now an uneven total of 231 Star Coins. An applause track plays whenever all three Star Coins are obtained during a level.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/ACxiwDmZ8qw?feature=shared&t=187|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' - World 1 (Complete)|author=Mario Party Legacy|language=en|publisher=YouTube|date=February 5, 2017|timestamp=03:07}}</ref> Star Coins can be optionally used to buy [[hint movies]] at [[Peach's Castle]]. Collecting every Star Coin in a [[world]] unlocks a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] of the corresponding number, such as how every Star Coin in [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] unlocks [[World 9-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|9-1]]). Collecting every Star Coin in World 9 and previous worlds adds a star on the File Select Screen.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| | In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', they also appeared, though with a slight name change to "'''Star Medal'''". Although they did not appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' directly, very similar items called [[Comet Medals]] appear. |
| Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Like the first game, the Star Coins can be used to open Star Coin Signs on the world map, unlocking Toad Houses and additional levels. There is still an uneven number of 219 Star Coins. In [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], 90 Star Coins must be collected in order to access the actual levels. A Yellow Toad House behind a Star Coin Sign that only appears after collecting every Star Coin. All worlds have Star Coins except World Star, which has [[Moon Coin]]s. Additionally, if Mario or Luigi is near a Star Coin or Moon Coin, they will turn their heads towards it and look at it. | |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| | Most recently, they have appeared in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', where the name was changed back to "Star Coin". In this game, they act relatively similar to the Star Coins featured in the original ''New Super Mario Bros.''. |
| [[File:NSMBU Star Coin Render.png|frame|right]]
| |
| Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. A total of 246 Star Coins appear. Star Coins have a similar role as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', to the extent that collecting every Star Coin in a world unlocks a certain level in [[Superstar Road]].

|
| ===''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''=== | | ==History== |
| Star Coins appear in the minigame [[Elevation Station]] in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]''. They reward 500 points each.
| | ===''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''=== |
| | | ;Uses: |
| ===''Mario Golf'' series===
| | *One use is for opening [[Star Coin Sign]]s leading to [[Toad House]]s or bonus letter levels (e.g. 1-A or 5-B). There are 32 of these signs in the game, each requiring 5 Star Coins to open. After [[Mario]] opens the signs, he is has an option to save, allowing him to easily save his progress without completing an uncompleted [[tower]] or [[castle]] before completing the game. |
| Star Coins appear in a few games in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. Star Coins are earned in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' by clearing Star Coin challenges, and they are used to unlock new courses and playable characters. Star Coins are additionally in the Extra level of the training games, where the player has to obtain it with the ball while landing it as close to the pin as possible. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Star Coins appear in [[Shelltop Sanctuary]] and [[All-Star Summit]], where they refill the player's [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] gauge when touched.
| | *Another use is for buying new backgrounds. After completing the game at least once, a blue Toad House will appear north of level [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)#World 1-1|1-1]]. There are 5 bonus backgrounds for the Touch Screen that cost 20 Star Coins each. The 5th background can be unlocked by opening every Toad House. |
| | *Once all 240 Star Coins have been collected, a 2nd star will appear next to the save file. There will also be a message on the Touch Screen next to the Star Coin symbol reading "Complete". |
| | *Spending all the Star Coins not only unlocks the final Touch Screen background, but also leaves a message next to the Star Coin symbol on the top screen in the world map reading "All Spent". |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | | ===''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''=== |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the coins produced from Mario's and Luigi's up special moves, [[Super Jump Punch]], are Star Coins.
| | ;Uses: |
| | [[File:Replay block.png|frame]] |
| | *One use is for buying [[Hint Movies]] at [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. |
| | *Another use is collecting all Star Coins in a world so a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] (unlocked after beating final boss) is unlocked. It will be the level number corresponding to the world number (e.g. collecting the Star Coins in World 1 will unlock 9-1). |
| | *The final use for a Star Coin is to cause a star to be displayed on the File Select Screen. If the player collects all twenty-four Star Coins in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]], he or she will earn a star. Collecting all Star Coins in the game will also result in getting a second star. |

|
| ===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''=== | | ===''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''=== |
| Star Coins appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as special Skill Items that raise the Skill levels of all forms of [[Mario]] except the 2.0 update forms, and all types of [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Coin Coffer]]s, [[Thwomp]]s and [[Whomp]]s. They can be earned by opening up [[? Block]]s; winning them from the Lucky ? Blocks game at Toad Houses; randomly dropped by [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Boom Boom]]; or from [[Big Thwomp]]s and [[Big Whomp]]s with a 10+ Combo attack. Other versions of Star Coins exist: [[Green Star Coin]]s, [[Grand Star Coin]]s and [[Grand Green Star Coin]]s. | | [[File:Star medal.png|right|thumb|100px|A '''Star Medal''' from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]] |
| | In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game, ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the equivalent of Star Coins are '''Star Medals'''. There are three in every level, like in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. They are used to unlock other courses, serving the purpose of [[Power Star]]s from past 3D platformers. The Star Medals have a similar appearance to [[Comet Medal]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', but they have stars on them instead of comets. There are 285 Star Medals in the game's levels (including the Special Worlds), plus 50 in the [[Mystery Box (Super Mario 3D Land)|Mystery Boxes]], leading to a total of 335 to be collected. It is confirmed that through StreetPass Mystery Boxes the player can obtain 999 Star Medals although this serves no purpose as only 290 are needed to unlock all levels. When the player collects a Star Medal they have already collected, they instead earn three [[Coin]]s. Also, when the player opens a course with Star Medals, the players pay their medals, but they are refunded back to the player afterwards.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baavN4SC_-g&feature=related</ref> |

| ===''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''=== | | ===''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''=== |
| Star Coins are items in the [[Golf Plus]] event of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. They score the event and decide the winner. Star Coins are earned in most holes by getting the ball into the hole in the fewest shots. Star Coins can also be earned by hitting [[? Block]]s, which produce a random number of them that can be scored by reaching the hole in under the number of shots allowed for the hole.
| | Star Coins reappear in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. In this game, they are back to their original design. A similar type of coin known as a [[Moon Coin]] appears in [[World Star]]. These coins have [[3-Up Moon|moon]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' printed on them instead of stars, and do not count towards the Star Coin total. |
| | | ;Uses: |
| ==Profiles==
| | *Like in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the Star Coins are used to open Star Coin Signs, leading to [[Toad House]]s or secret levels.<ref>[http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Nsmb2w2.png]</ref> |
| ===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
| | *90 Star Coins are required to unlock the levels in [[World Star]]. |
