Narrator, Super Mario Maker 2 Direct 5.15.2019

A 10-Coin (or 10 Coin),[1] also referred to as a 10 Gold Coin[2] and originally Big Coin,[3] is a special kind of coin that is worth ten gold coins, as the name implies. It has made appearances throughout the Super Mario franchise.

History[edit]

Yoshi's Safari[edit]

Sprite of a Big Coin, from Yoshi's Safari.

Big Coins worth 10 coins debuted in Yoshi's Safari. They can be found in Flying ? Blocks within stages, and are worth no points. In this game, they have the imprint of a Super Star.

Hotel Mario[edit]

Rainbow coins that are worth ten regular coins appear in Hotel Mario.

Wario Land series[edit]

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[edit]

A 10 Gold Coin from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Wario holding up a 10 Gold Coin in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, 10 Gold Coins look like normal coins, but instead of their usual "1" symbol, the kanji 「十」 (meaning 'ten') is stamped on them. They seldom appear after defeating certain enemies in a specific way and when they are collected, they make a unique noise.

Wario can produce these items from his inventory, which will cost him ten of his already collected coins, by pressing B Button and "up" on the +Control Pad. The coin can then be thrown to defeat enemies. This technique is also necessary to open goal doors and complete the course.

Wario Land II[edit]

10 Gold Coins also appear in Wario Land II. They appear as golden coins with Wario's face stamped on them and they can be quickly distinguished from other coins by their enormous size. Wario's coin counter increases by ten when he picks one up, and they also make a unique sound when they are collected. Coins are used to pay minigames in order to find hidden treasures. Contrary to regular coins that can be found just along the road, 10 Gold Coins are usually stored in secret rooms or hardly accessible locations, to make it harder for the player to obtain them.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

SMRPG 10 Gold Coin.png

Coins that are worth ten regular coins appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, along with gold coins and Frog Coins. In this game they look just like regular coins, but are bigger than their normal counterparts. 10 Gold Coins sometimes appear after a larger enemy is bested.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]

Large Coin from the game Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis.

10 Coins appear as frequent collectables in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, starting with Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. They are referred to as Large Coins throughout the series' electronic manuals and in-game level editors. Aside from their size, Large Coins can be distinguished from their smaller counterparts by the stars imprinted on their faces. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Large Coins increase the score in a level by 500 points upon being collected, while in subsequent titles, including Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, and Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, they are worth 1000 points instead. Like other items, Large Coins are picked up by the Minis as they walk. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, large coins are worth 5 coins instead of 10.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

10-Coins also appear in the Mario & Luigi series starting from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, but instead, they are coins with a 10 on them. They are found in ? Blocks or around the overworld, and can be obtained from defeating certain enemies. They are slightly bigger than regular coins and they give the player ten coins when collected.

10 Coins appear in Yoshi's Crafted World, having the same size as in the Super Mario games compared to regular coins. They depict Yoshi's head on one side (making them resemble Dragon Coins), and the number "10" on the other.
