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 and "up" on the . The coin can then be thrown to defeat enemies. This technique is also necessary to open goal doors and completing the course.

Wario Land II

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.

In Wario Land II, 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.

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 with 500 points upon being collected, while in subsequent titles, including Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, they are worth 1000 points instead. Like other items, Large Coins are picked up by the Minis as they walk.
