The minigame starts with Wario on the top screen standing next to a Moneybag; he punches it into the air, and 40 coins then fall down and make their way into the [[Brick Block]]s as the Moneybag bounces offscreen. The player must use the [[Nintendo DS#Stylus|stylus]] to tap the blocks containing coins. If the player taps a block with no coins, the minigame ends. The highest possible score that the player can obtain in this minigame is the "perfect" score of 40.

In the multiplayer version in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the basic premise is similar, but each player instead takes a turn choosing a block. If a player taps a block with no coins, the block breaks and the player loses two coins. It is possible to have a negative score in this mode. If unsure, a player can pass, but they can do so only once. Once all the coins are found, the player with the most coins wins.
The ''New Super Mario Bros.'' version is the same but has more detailed sprites. It also has a similar multiplayer variation, featuring a random turn order where players take turns choosing blocks. If one taps a block with nothing inside, that player loses two coins. Each player can pass a turn, but only once. After every coin is uncovered, whoever has the most of them wins. It is possible to have a negative score.

Coincentration is one of Wario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and a single-player and multiplayer Puzzle minigame in New Super Mario Bros. Its name is a portmanteau of "coin" and "concentration." Super Mario 64 DS also has a variation titled Intense Coincentration, where there are fewer coins.

The music that plays in this minigame is an arrangement of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. "Coincentration" is also the title for an arrangement of the Underground Theme in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and its 3DS version.

Gameplay[edit]

The minigame opens with Wario on the top screen, punching a Moneybags next to him. 40 coins fall from above and hide into the Brick Blocks below as the Moneybags bounces offscreen. The player has to tap every block with coins using the stylus, though if they tap a block without any, the minigame ends. The highest possible score is 40.

The New Super Mario Bros. version is the same but has more detailed sprites. It also has a similar multiplayer variation, featuring a random turn order where players take turns choosing blocks. If one taps a block with nothing inside, that player loses two coins. Each player can pass a turn, but only once. After every coin is uncovered, whoever has the most of them wins. It is possible to have a negative score.

In-game instructions[edit]

  • New Super Mario Bros.
    • Single player: "Pay attention to where the falling coins land. Tap the blocks to retrieve the coins. Choose wisely: if you pick the wrong block, your game will end."
