[https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064320/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/2-7.html Course 2 - Star 7: Collect 100 Coins]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved March 15, 2022.</ref> is an object appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Blue Coin Blocks are found in most main courses except for the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], [[Snowman's Land]], and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. The Blue Coin Block in [[Lethal Lava Land]] appears only in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The Blue Coin Blocks in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] and [[Tick Tock Clock]] are located elsewhere in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Additionally, a Blue Coin Block is also found in the secret level [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]. When a Blue Coin Block is [[Ground Pound|ground-pounded]], a few [[Blue Coin]]s show up nearby, ranging from two to ten, though only for a short time before disappearing. While Blue Coins appear on the screen, a timer can be heard, and it ticks faster when the time is running out. The Blue Coins also blink faster when they are about to disappear. A Blue Coin Block does not respawn if not every Blue Coin has been collected. Collecting the Blue Coins from the Blue Coin Block is often required to obtain the 100-Coin [[Power Star|Star]] from the [[level]]s they appear in. Due to its role, the Blue Coin Block is comparable to the [[P Switch|Switch Block]], except that it does not change [[coin]]s into [[block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s and vice versa. | |||
