Coin Count is one of Orbulon's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y. (where it is known as Coin Cat) and returns as one of Kat & Ana's microgames in WarioWare Gold.
Gameplay[edit]
The player has to move coins from a coin purse to tray in front of a cash register to pay a cat, such that the amount the coins in the tray are valued matches the amount displayed on the register. In the American version, the prices are always $1.20 or $2.10. The register only starts displaying the amount just after the microgame starts. In the American version, there are two coins that display $1 and two coins that display 10¢. The numbers in the European version are the same, with the currency being either £ or €, while the Japanese version includes ¥100 and ¥10 coins. To move the coins from the purse to the tray, the player taps on them. They can also tap on a coin in the tray to put them back in the purse. Moving coins uses the sound effect from Super Mario Bros. for coins. Note that the player can move coins before the register displays the amount to pay. When the player's coins in the register match the displayed amount, they win the game. However, if the player makes a mistake or time runs out, the game is lost. There is a small window after the register displays an amount where coins can still be moved.
In WarioWare Gold, the microgame has been rethemed. Instead of paying a cat from a coin purse, the player has to pay a boy from their hand. Currency symbols are absent on the coins. The controls are changed as well, coins have to be dragged to move from one location to the other. Coins left in any area that is not the hand or the tray snap to the nearest one of those two places. The amount displayed on the register varies more widely, and it is randomized based on the level. Coins can be moved freely out of the tray, but the microgame makes a final determination when the timer countdown reaches between 2 and 1. If the player does not have the correct amount of change when the countdown reaches that point, the screen on the register shatters and the player loses. In America, coins can be worth 25, 10, 5, or 1.
