“Squawk! Now you've warmed up, how about trying to win a unique special prize by completing it again? Just 2 Coins to play again... Bwark!”
Squawks the Parrot, Donkey Kong 64

The Nintendo Coin is a silver coin depicting the Nintendo 64 logo, and it appears in Donkey Kong 64. It and the Rareware Coin are required to retrieve the final Boss Key located behind a door in Hideout Helm.

To obtain the Nintendo Coin, Donkey Kong must play the original Donkey Kong arcade game in Frantic Factory. After completing it once, Donkey Kong earns a Golden Banana. Squawks appears in the room and notifies that he can win a special prize by playing it again. After paying two Banana Bunch Coins, Donkey Kong plays the game again. Aside from increased difficulty (the player starts with only one life and must complete Level 2), another notable difference is that Pauline's sprite was replaced with the Nintendo Coin, which means that Mario must rescue the coin from Donkey Kong.
