They later appear in Super Mario Run as a special collectible in stages after the player completes the Pink Coin Challenge.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
The Purple Coin challenge in Toy Time Galaxy
In Super Mario Galaxy, the player always needs to collect 100 Purple Coins to make a Power Star appear. In missions with a time limit, the Purple Coins are sometimes set along a linear path; additionally, once the Power Star appears, it has to be grabbed before the remaining time runs out. Other times, more than 100 Purple Coins are scattered in a big area, and the player has to explore every area and figure out the best path to collect the required 100.
There are two Purple Coin missions that are not activated by a Purple Comet: One is in the Gateway Galaxy, and another is in the Grand Finale Galaxy.
All of the timed Purple Coin missions have background music that contains parts from Gusty Garden Galaxy's theme. The Purple Coin missions of the Battlerock Galaxy and Dreadnought Galaxy have the same music, even though the missions do not have time limits; this is because Mario collects Purple Coins set in a linear path while riding on moving platforms, and he cannot get any coins left behind since the platforms do not backtrack. However, the platforms in the latter mission respawn.
While underwater, in Flying Mario form, or in Bee Mario form, Mario can spin next to Purple Coins to attract them to him and automatically collect them.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Mario collects Purple Coins in Tall Trunk Galaxy.
Purple Coins reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They still appear in comet missions but with a small change: The timer stops once the requirements are met. In the Rolling Coaster Galaxy, a Purple Coin is in a purple-colored Star Ball. In this game, Player 2 can collect Purple Coins for Player 1 along with regular coins.
Super Mario Run[edit]
In Super Mario Run, a Purple Coin appears as a type of color coin. Purple Coins replace Pink Coins after all five of them are collected in a level and are positioned in slightly more difficult-to-reach places. Each Purple Coin is worth ten coins, which are added towards the player's coin total at the end of the level. After all five Purple Coins are collected, they are replaced by Black Coins. When Mario collects all the Purple Coins, a Purple Coin Pipe appears, granting access to the level Piranha Plant Field.
