Gather Coins
Gather Coins is a Mini Battle from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its reissue, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. The Mini Battle involves the player competing against a Bandit to collect more coins before time runs out in 30 seconds. The coins themselves are shot out of a cannon moving on a track overhead. The player can stomp on the Bandit to stun it for a short while, and vice versa; running into the Bandit causes both it and the Yoshi to be knocked back. If the Yoshi wins, the player gets a random item.
This Mini Battle can be played behind the locked doors of the shacks in the stages Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy; Lakitu's Wall; and Ride Like The Wind.
In-game instructions
- SNES version: "Grab more coins than your enemy before the time reaches 0."
