Coin Discoloration

= Coin Discoloration = Coin discoloration is a mechanic in B3313 added in v0.9. It consists of several new types of coins with various effects. This page lists every type of coin in the game, their effects, and how they spawn.

Base game coins
These coins spawn from the beginning of the game, and are present in normal SM64.

Yellow Coins
The basic SM64 coins, and the most common. They add 1 to the coin counter, heal 1 HP, and can be found by defeating enemies, in boxes, or scattered around stages.

Red Coins
Also found in SM64, Red coins are a type of collectable related to stars. sometimes they can be replaced with small "Star Tokens" that function the exact same. they are worth 2 coins and heal 2 HP.

Blue Coins
The third and final base game coin, they can be found after hitting blue coin switches. They are worth 5 coins and heal 5 HP.

"Personalized" Coins
These coins will start spawning after a certain number of red stars, and will replace normal coins.

Purple Coins
Purple Coins remove 1 from the coin counter, and will also damage you for 1 HP. they are never found throughout the level, and can only spawn in enemies, crates, or boxes, presumably to catch the player off-guard. The chance of purple coins spawning increases the more HP you have, with almost every coin being a purple coin at max HP. They seem to have an unusually high chance of spawning in Pleasant, Pleasant Falls.

Green Coins
Green Coins add no coins to the coin counter and heal 3 HP, and will replace coins in coin rings and lines. These coins are the inverse of the purple coins, having a higher spawn chance on lower HP, and almost never spawning with max HP.

White Coins
White coins are worth 0 coins and do not heal the player, and have a 25(?)% percent chance to crash the game upon picking them up. these coins are extremely rare, and never worth it to pick up.

Trivia

 * Coin Discoloration is based on the mechanic of the same name found on the MIPS Hole Wiki (AKA SM64 Conspiracies Wiki). Many of the coin effects are taken directly from their page on coin discoloring.
