Red Coin: Difference between revisions

'''Red Coins''' (also formatted as '''red coins''')<ref>Various [[Message Block]]s in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and ''Yoshi's New Island'' digital manual</ref><ref>"'''Red coin''' collected!" &ndash; message displayed on-screen after one player collects a Red Coin in the ScareScraper mode of ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' (British version only)</ref> are [[coin]]s that appear at times, along with Yellow Coins in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. The differences between a Yellow Coin and a Red Coin differ by game, but usually, Red Coins serve as important items to collect to get a reward. They are replaced by [[Purple Coin]]s in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' games, which must be collected to acquire [[Power Star]]s.

Red Coins made their first main-series appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and returned in [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]. Each Red Coin is worth two [[Coin|Yellow Coin]]s. Collecting all eight Red Coins in one level makes a [[Power Star]] appear over a [[Star Marker]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', similar to the regular coins, Red Coins are now in 3D and as a result, look octagonal. Exclusive to this version, some [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]] have the ability to detect red coins when the player talks to them.

Red coins make another appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Similar to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', collecting all eight in a level would make a [[Shine Sprite]] appear. However, red coins do not affect the player's total amount of [[Yellow Coin]]s and are treated as a completely different currency altogether. Like [[Blue Coin|blue coin]]s, red coins replenish two health points on [[Mario]]'s [[Health Meter|life meter]]. They appear with an imprint of a sun. Some areas have floor objects called '''Red Switch Plates'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide.

=====Other Red Coin missions=====

====''Mario Party-e''====

In ''[[Mario Party-e]]'', Red Coins serve as one of the main collectibles in the minigame [[Waluigi's Reign]]. They are worth more than regular coins, giving the players five points when obtained.

 

In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Red Coins replace [[coin bag]]s in bonus mini-games unlike the previous versions of the ''Mario Party'' games. They are, like coin bags, worth five Coins. They are obtained like coin bags too; rarer and sometimes harder to acquire.

 

In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Red Coins can be obtained in any of the Coin Chaos minigames. They do not appear in Level 1 minigames unless an amiibo is used, but they can occasionally appear in Level 2, and very often in Level 3. With the [[Coin Bag (Mario Party: Star Rush)|Coin Bag]] item, five Red Coins will appear. Each Red Coin collected is worth three normal Coins. With the Double Medal item, each Red Coin collected is worth 6 normal Coins. If a [[Lava Bubble]] item is used, any source of coins and items currently on-screen; Red Coins included; burn up. However, they can reappear over the course of the game.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Red Coins appear in Partner Party, giving the character five coins when they pass one. Also, a Red Coin is produced from a [[? Block]] in the minigame [[Strike It Rich]] if the player times a jump perfectly. Each Red Coin is worth three regular Coins.

====''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''====

Red Coins and Red Rings return in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', where eight of them need to be collected. Collecting all eight reveals a treasure chest containing a new weapon for Mario and co. to use.

====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====

Red Coins return in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''.
