How to Use Flower Coins
While regular Coins are useful to increase the number of lives a character has, Flower Coins can be obtained to purchase goodies and unlock parts of the map.Poplins only use Flower Coins, so thesecharactersare one of the main reasons why players should collect Flower Coins inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder.
There are severalPoplin Shopsacross the Flower Kingdom, and the player can only use Flower Coins to purchase items while in these shops. On top of this, a Poplin will be guarding certainlocked areason the map, and the player must give them Flower Coins so that they can gain the strength required to unlock them.
How to Get Flower Coins
Flower Coins come in three different sizes, and some are worth more than others. Here is how much each Flower Coin is worth according to its size and how players can find them:
How to obtain
Large Flower Coin (6 petals)
A Large Flower Coin is usually worth 10 Flower Coins. However, if the player is replaying a level and collects a Large Flower Coins that they’ve already picked up before, it’ll only be worth 3 Flower Coins. If this is the case, only its outline will appear, and it will be colorless instead of purple.
Most courses havethree Large Flower Coinsthat players can collect. To check, gamers can pause the game after starting a course, and the number of Large Purple Flower coins will appear underneath the Wonder Seed count; it’ll also let them know how many they’ve collected and how many they’re still missing.
Regular Flower Coin (4 petals)
Regular-sized Flower Coins are the standard purple Flower Coins that players will come across as they complete a course.
Small Flower Coin (3 petals)
The number displayed on the player’s Flower Coin count is always rounded down after the Wonder Flower effect ends.
Small Flower Coins appear when the course is under the effect of a Wonder Flower. Since tons of Flower Coins appear during this time, they’re worth a lot less than standard Flower Coins.
Players must clear a level in order to keep the coins that they’ve collected.
Super Mario Bros. Wonderis available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
