Talk:Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)

Are you sure it has the Rare-Ware logo? Rare-Ware doesn't belong to Nintendo anymore. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

I have the instruction book, and yes, it does have the Rareware logo on it. It inhabits the entire middle portion of the coin, and I've also noticed a tiny (and I mean TINY) _TM on the coin; it's tiny and gold-yellow in color like the Rareware logo. I admit, it is surprising to find the Rareware logo on it though. I'll try to find a picture of it, but I can assure you that it is the actual Rareware logo. — Stooben Rooben Possibly an error left over from the first DKR?

There's a tiny picture of it here: Images 32-34 have the pics. It's the best I could find for now, but I'll keep looking. — Stooben Rooben D'oh!

Ah, ok, thanks. I was surprised by this as well with the whole Microsoft business. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

No problem! I feel bad for Rare, Ltd. though if Microsoft "Vistafies" them. So the article can stay then? — Stooben Rooben Sorry it's a stub. :(

Oh of course. Very, very shorts stubs are deleted. This seems good enough. I hope Nintendo one days goes in Microsoft studious and just saves Rare from the evil. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

I sure hope so. Rare's done a lot of good for the DK series. But, thanks for letting it stay. :) — Stooben Rooben Go for 10,000 edits, Paper Jorge! You're almost there!

Almost there, eh? I noticed sysops (like me) have the most edits. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

That's true. It's just such a large number! — Stooben Rooben I'm about 8000 away from that.

Move to Rareware Coin or Split

As soon as I saw this article, I knew that this had to be done. This article is about both the coins from Diddy Kong Racing DS and the Rareware Coin from Donkey Kong 64, yet the title is Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS) instead of the more appropriate Rareware Coin. I'm not asking to split the two coins into separate articles; both are silver coins with the Rareware insigna, and both wouldn't make very lengthy articles alone. However, if they are going to stay together we need to have a better title. I think that Rareware Coin would fit the bill nicely and represent the coin's appearance in both games much better.

Split into Two Articles

1. Lumastar (talk) Per Baby Luigi.
2. Mario (talk) If Nintendo Coin exists, then a split containing Rareware Coin, the counterpart to the Nintendo Coin would make sense. Additionally, they items with different names and different purposes, so yeah, a split makes sense.
3. Pseudo-dino (talk) These probably aren't supposed to be the same item, and they have completely different functions.
4. LinkTheLefty (talk) Agreed. Rareware Coin shouldn't have been given another game's identifier, and they have entirely different purpose and 'rarity' in both titles.

Comments

Aren't coins called..."coins" in Diddy Kong Racing DS? If that's an official name for the coins in Diddy Kong Racing DS, a split would be better. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:18, 23 February 2015 (EST)

I checked, and they are. I'll add a split option and update the proposals page. Lumastar (talk)

Merge to coin

As the above section shows, the only reason this is its own page is being erroneously lumped with the Rareware Coin previously. However, given the wide variety of games already covered by the coin article, I fail to see why this should be split. Coins is coins. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:09, February 28, 2023 (EST)

Not gonna lie, I almost thought this was the Silver Coins, which I'd probably disagree. But in this case, I can see where you're coming from and personally, I can agree. They're used as currency, like any other coin, I think merging them would be fine. Tails777 Talk to me!

There is a part in the Silver Coin article that says "In DKR DS the Silver Coins still exist in the single race mode, and are redesigned with a Rare symbol on the sides". Isn't it the same item? Proyecto N (talk) 20:04, June 29, 2023 (EDT)

No, this article's item replaces bananas in normal races and are used to buy things from Taj. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:22, June 29, 2023 (EDT)

I disagree completely. We shouldn't merge it (in my opinion) because A- It looks completely different and B- It has different uses. Marionotame (talk)

??? As has been stated, there's no 100% consistent design or use for the subject of the coin article. Also, the use here is "collect and spend," as most appearances are. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:14, December 30, 2023 (EST)

Doc von Schmeltwick and Tails777 and right. The coins in Diddy Kong Racing DS are used as currency. I was just wondering if there is a possibility to merge this page with Coin.

Support

1. GuntherBB (talk) Per proposal
2. Super Mario RPG (talk) I agree. The only difference with these coins is the aesthetic.
3. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - Coins is coins. If the Luigi's Mansion coins can be in the main coin article, so too can these.
4. Waluigi Time (talk) Per all.
5. Camwoodstock (talk) Per all. It's literally just another type of coin, with only different visuals--nobody's going to argue that any non-standard designed coin should have its own article... ;P
6. Mario (talk)
7. EvieMaybe (talk) money, money, money... must be funny....
8. MegaBowser64 (talk) Hey, must be the money!
9. Tails777 (talk) A coin's a coin, my opinion has seen no... change.
