The flower coin is a purple collectible item that appears exclusively in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It is a special type of coin native to the Flower Kingdom, and is an alternative to regular coins in a similar fashion to regional coins. Like coins, flower coins can be found throughout courses, and add to their own individual counter when collected. The player can hold up to 999 flower coins.a

If a Wonder Effect is active, smaller variants of the flower coins appear, each worth one tenth (0.1) of a regular flower coin.[1] On certain occasions during the Wonder Effect, these smaller coins will attempt to run away when the player gets too close; they flip to reveal a pair of eyes and squirm away slowly. These coins usually disappear when a Wonder Seed is collected and the Wonder Effect ends, and the flower coin counter is rounded down to the nearest integer value.[1]

Flower coins have another variant known as the 10-flower coin, worth ten normal flower coins, and three of which can be collected once on each level.[1] If the same coin is collected again during a replay of a level, it will instead grant three flower coins.[1]

Flower coins can be spent in Poplin Shops,[1] allowing the player to purchase 1-Up Mushrooms, badges, Standee Surprises and Wonder Seeds.
