'''Green Coins''' are a variety of [[Coin]]s that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. They serve the same purpose as [[Red Coin]]s, but these coins disappear much faster and only five groups of three are collected. They always appear in groups of three together forming a clover shape. They rotate in the air, but the effect they have is the same as that of Red Coins, as collecting them all gives the player a [[List of Power-Ups|power-up]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. They are activated by moving through a [[Green Ring]].


Green Coins reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where eight of them are produced whenever the player runs through a green star, similar in appearance to a [[Sling Star]].<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43tV_3NSZqs</ref> This time, when all eight are collected, a [[Green Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Green Star]] appears.

Green Coins[1][2] are a variety of coins that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. U. They are spawned from Green Rings.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, after a player goes through a Green Ring, it spawns one group of three Green Coins appearing at a time while rotating clockwise in a pattern of a three-leaf clover (with the coins still spinning). They disappear after three seconds if all of them are not collected in time. The timer resets when the next group starts appearing in a different spot after the previous group has been collected. Only five groups of three Green Coins are collected to clear, with a total of fifteen individually. When a Green Coin is collected, a green numbered text appears based on the corresponding number collected. The effect Green Coins have is very similar to that of Red Coins, as collecting all of them gives the player a power-up or 1-Up Mushroom. They use the same sound as regular coins if only one or two of them in a group are collected, but collecting all three of them uses the same sound effect as collecting a Red Coin with the pitch incremented with each group collected. Each Green Coin is worth one regular coin.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Green Coins, also referred to as Green Star Coins in the Prima Games guide,[3] reappear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, this time resembling small Star Coins. After a player goes through a star-shaped Green Ring, eight Green Coins start to appear separately like Red Coins, though they appear for only a limited time and disappear if they are not all collected in time, but if the player collects them all within the time limit, a Green Star appears on the same spot where the last Green Coin was collected. When a Green Coin is collected, a dark-green numbered text appears based on the corresponding number collected. Green Coins also make a distinct sparkly sound when collected with an incremented pitch with each one collected. Green Coins are once again worth one regular coin and 100 points.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]

Green Coins appear in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, functioning similarly to how they do in New Super Mario Bros. U. Once all Green Coins in each world are collected, a Planet Coin is rewarded along with a chest containing regular coins.
