Flower coins are purple collectible items that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are a special type of coin native to the Flower Kingdom, and are an alternative to regular coins in a similar fashion to regional coins from Super Mario Odyssey.
History[edit]
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]
Flower coins make their official debut in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. 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] During many Wonder Effects, smaller variants of flower coins appear, which are each worth one tenth of a regular flower coin.
Three 10-flower coins, worth ten normal flower coins each, appear in most levels. If the same coin is collected again during a replay of a level, it will instead grant three flower coins. If the player gets a Game Over, they lose 25% of their flower coins as a penalty (but no more than 50 flower coins total).
Flower coins can be spent in Poplin Shops, allowing the player to purchase 1-Up Mushrooms, badges, standees and Wonder Seeds. Additionally, some Poplins require flower coins to fix bridges and destroy rocks on the world map.
Super Mario Run[edit]
Flower coins reappeared in Super Mario Run during the second Super Mario Bros. Wonder event from December 20, 2023 to March 15, 2024, and later the Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park event from March 5 to April 3, 2026. During the events, when Coin Rush is activated by a Wonder Flower during a Toad Rally, Pink Coins are replaced with flower coins. In addition, a flower coin appears as one of the stamps on the Stamp Cards.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Some flower coins can be seen in the version 13.0.2 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the background of the "Showtime and Wonder Spirits!" spirit event banner.
