A number of games related to the Super Mario franchise have featured collectable coins with various designs and roles. This article covers instances of coins in Super Mario-related media that are referred to as such without being explicitly or circumstantially tied to the franchise's trademark gold coins (often specifically depicted as a currency in the Mushroom Kingdom).
History[edit ]
Yoshi's Story[edit ]
In Yoshi's Story , coins have a yellow-and-orange color scheme and a heart-shaped symbol. In this game, coins can be collected for hearts to boost a Baby Yoshi's mood. If all coins are collected in an area, the action sometimes makes melons appear. Coins can be hidden everywhere in a stage, including in the sky and in the ground. In some areas of every level, when a Heart Fruit is eaten, heart coins appear in different formations and must all be collected before they disappear.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit ]

Coins are needed to operate the Lottery in Super Smash Bros. Melee and the Coin Launcher in Super Smash Bros. Brawl . These coins are used to get trophies and stickers.
Wario Land: Shake It![edit ]
In Wario Land: Shake It! , there are different variants of coins, each adding a different value to the coin count: bronze coins, which are worth one coin, silver coins, which are worth five coins; gold coins, which are worth ten coins; large silver coins, which are worth fifty coins; and large gold coins, which are worth one hundred coins. They are mostly found floating in the air, but they can also be obtained from Coin Bags. They can be accumulated throughout the game and used to buy things from Captain Syrup's Pirate Shop. Collecting coins is also an objective for many missions in the game.
Wario World[edit ]
In Wario World , coins appear in small and large sizes, and are obtainable by defeating enemies and breaking objects. Floating coins also appear in bonus rooms. Coins are used to buy garlic from Garlic Dispensers and to continue where the player left off if they lose all health.
Diddy Kong Racing DS[edit ]
Coins can be collected on every track Diddy Kong Racing DS . They depict the Rare logo, not unlike the Rareware Coin from Donkey Kong 64 , and replace the bananas from Diddy Kong Racing . Coins can be spent at Taj's Wishes Menu to unlock additional content, such as courses and modes. Furthermore, if a racer picks up a green Weapon Balloon and applies a Power-Up Token to it, the item becomes five Fake Coins.
Coins were intended to appear in the original Diddy Kong Racing as shown in pre-release screenshots, but were replaced with bananas in the final.
WarioWare Gold[edit ]
Plain gold coins appear throughout WarioWare Gold . The player starts with 10,000 coins, which is the exact number needed to enter the Wario Bowl tournament. There is a brief intermission following each boss microgame in a character's stage where the player controlling a box to get coins, added to their total. Coins can also be earned through completing missions or winning games of Wario Kard. From the Capsule Machine, the player can spend 600 coins to obtain an item. The grand prize of Wario Bowl is 10 million coins, which are hoarded by Wario. The other characters manage to get the coins back, dividing it amongst themselves.
