'''Character Coins''' or '''Baby Coins''' are [[coin]]s that the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s can collect in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. The [[Yoshi]] can only collect a Baby Coin with the baby on Yoshi's back that is seen on the coin. Collecting all eight Baby Coins in a world (or all seven in the case of world five) unlocks a [[minigame]] in the game's Hard Mode. The 39 coins in the game are evenly distributed to 13 each among [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Peach]], and [[Baby Donkey Kong|Baby DK]].
