100-Coins[1] (or 100 Coins),[2] also known as giant coins,[3] are a type of coin with varying designs between their appearances, but all of them add one-hundred regular coins to the player's coin counter.
History[edit]
Wario Land series[edit]
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[edit]
100 Coins are items in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, their first appearance. They look similar to regular coins, but are four times bigger and bounce in place. Unlike their smaller counterparts, 100 Coins are very rare and usually well hidden. They are located in specific levels and can be obtained by hitting a Mega ? Block. Since they add many coins to Wario's coin counter, they can be valuable when Wario makes his wish to Genie at the end of the game.
Wario Land II[edit]
100 Coins are items in Wario Land II. Their size swapped with 10 Gold Coins. They now have a silver tint, are affected by gravity, and flash rapidly. They also produce a characteristic noise once they appear and when they are collected. 100 Coins can be found by breaking objects or defeating enemies, just like regular coins. It appears every 64th time either of the previous actions is taken. The giant spear man also leaves a 100 Coin behind every time he is defeated.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
100 Coins also appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Like in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, 100 Coins appear as larger coins, but this time with the number "100" printed on them. They are extremely rare and are only found in ? Blocks in the ground via wide trunks where only the baby brothers can go through. After they are released, they come up to the surface for the Mario Bros. to collect. If they are not collected after a period of time, they disappear. Sometimes, a Tanoomba or Tashrooba disguises itself as a 100 Coin (though with its face replacing the "100"). When the Mario Bros. get close, the coin turns back into a Tanoomba or Tashrooba.
They later appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Unlike in the previous game, they can be found inside any ? Blocks, but can be found more commonly toward the end of the game. They may also be collected when Bowser defeats a Metal Mawful Mole on the map. 100 Coins also appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Giant coins make an appearance in New Super Mario Bros. 2 and are found in the rainbow levels. They appear by flying across the screen as Mario progresses through the area. A bell-like noise is heard when they appear. They look as they do in the Mario & Luigi series. They are worth one hundred coins and therefore reward the player with an extra life. Giant coins can also be found in larger Roulette Coin Blocks.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, 100-Coins retain their higher-pitch chime and larger size relative to the single coin and 10-Coin, though now with a similarly gilded cardboard aesthetic. These large coins are frequently distributed as rewards for completing more difficult tasks, yet are much more common to find when exploring compared to previous games, and will return after collected if the area is reloaded.
