The best areas for farming these purple Flower Coins are challenge runs. It can be a good idea to replay a short course such as the Pipe Rock Plateau, Expert Badge Challenge: Jet Run I. You can play challenge courses like this over and over, with each run of the course only taking about one minute so it’s super quick! Each run will get you about 13 Flower Coins, meaning you can easily speed-run the course for 30 minutes and get yourself hundreds of coins.

Jet Run I is the easiest and simplest course to grind the coins on thanks to it being super straightforward with not much concentration required. It is so simple, in fact, you can play it repeatedly as you watch TV, so you don’t get bored with the coin grind! Of course, you can always get a friend to join you for the ride.

In general though, there are several ways you can get Purple coins as you play Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Purple Flower Coins can be found in pretty much every course and come in three different sizes. Most courses have at least three of the large Flower Coins which are worth 10 coins when first picked up and then worth three during each subsequent play through. The regular size Flower Coins are worth one coin, and these are the ones you will see a lot as you jump and run through a course. Finally, the tiny Flower Coins are worth 0.1. While the Wonder Flower is in effect, you can find the tiny Flower Coins hanging out in groups.

If you just play through as normal, you will get most of the purple Flower Coins you require, but if you need a top up or are desperate to buy and unlock everything now, we have a few tips to help. First up make sure you play as Nabbin while farming for coins. He changes the power-ups into Flower Coins so this is one easy way to boost your Flower Coin income!

Also, don’t forget to find Captain Toad in every world too, because you get a huge purple Flower Coin reward each time.
