10-Coin: Difference between revisions

A '''10-Coin''' (or '''10 Coin'''),<ref>{{cite|author=Hoffman, Chris|title=''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide|date=2005|isbn=1598120069|page=10}}</ref> also referred to as a '''10 Gold Coin'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' instruction booklet|page=9|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1994}}</ref> and originally '''Big Coin''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi's Safari'' instruction booklet|page=17|date=1993|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is a special kind of [[coin]] that is worth ten gold coins, as the name implies. It has made appearances throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

===''Yoshi's Safari''===

Big Coins worth 10 coins debuted in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They can be found in [[Flying ? Block]]s within stages, and are worth no points. In this game, they have the imprint of a [[Super Star]].

 

===''Hotel Mario''===

Rainbow coins that are worth ten regular coins appear in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''.

In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', 10 Gold Coins look like normal coins, but instead of their usual "1" symbol, the kanji 「十」 (meaning 'ten') is stamped on them. They seldom appear after defeating certain enemies in a specific way and when they are collected, they make a unique noise.  

Wario can produce these items from his inventory, which will cost him ten of his already collected coins, by pressing {{button|gb|b}} and "up" on the {{button|gb|pad}}. The coin can then be thrown to defeat enemies. This technique is also necessary to open [[Goal door (Wario Land series)|goal door]]s and complete the course.

Coins that are worth ten regular coins appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', along with gold coins and [[Frog Coin]]s. In this game they look just like regular coins, but are bigger than their normal counterparts. 10 Gold Coins sometimes appear after a larger enemy is bested.

10 Coins appear as frequent collectables in the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series, starting with ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. They are referred to as '''Large Coins''' throughout the series' electronic manuals and in-game level editors. Aside from their size, Large Coins can be distinguished from their smaller counterparts by the stars imprinted on their faces. In ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'', Large Coins increase the score in a level by 500 points upon being collected, while in subsequent titles, including ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', and ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', they are worth 1000 points instead. Like other items, Large Coins are picked up by the [[Mini]]s as they walk. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', large coins are worth [[Five Coin|5 coins]] instead of 10.

 

10-Coins also appear in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series starting from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', but instead, they are coins with a 10 on them. They are found in [[? Block]]s or around the overworld, and can be obtained from defeating certain enemies. They are slightly bigger than regular coins and they give the player ten coins when collected.

10 Coins appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they have almost the exact same design as those of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', though they are roughly twice as big as regular coins. They are one of the prizes found in [[Roulette Coin Block]]s, and are used to distribute 10 coins, 30 coins, and 50 coins.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

10-Coins are available as a course element in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. [[30-Coin]] and [[50-Coin]] variants are also available. This time, 10-Coins are larger than in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' and have a similar size to [[Star Coin]]s.

10 Coins appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', having the same size as in the ''Super Mario'' games compared to regular coins. They depict [[Yoshi]]'s head on one side (making them resemble [[Dragon Coin]]s), and the number "10" on the other.
