Howeversince StreetPassing with other players allows you to "reset" mystery boxes, letting you collect their Star Coins again, potentially there's an infinite amount of Star Coins, however you can only accumulate up to 999 star coins
Well I have completed the game fully, even the last level World 8s with the golden flag, and I had 302 star coins when I completed it. However when I played it earlier I played some purple box levels and got some more star coins. Now I have 305 so there must be more than that - I'd say around 310 or 320.
The purple box levels regenerate every day. You can do this by playing the next day or just changing the date in ur 3ds settings. And yes while most yield a ghost star coin, one or two will have actual star coins you can receive to raise your star coin count. I'm up to 312 star coins and am still getting more star coins every time I change my 3ds date.
I just got done beating this game thoroughly and I have only managed to get 300 Star Coins. I have beat every level with 3 stars each and beat all the bonus levels, or purple square levels if you prefer. When you try and do these bonus levels again it will give you a ghost star, so you cannot keep getting them until you have 999 Star Coins. So I believe the answer is you can only get 300 Stars Coins.
I don't know how many there are total, but the purple cube levels respawn every day, and the ones you've already done will have ghost cubes, while new ones you haven't done will give you star coins, you can tell the difference between the finished and unfinished levels easily, upon entering one of the screens will show how many coins are in the level, if you have the coin, the coin image will show, if not, just the outline of the coin will show. Since the levels seems to change randomly from day to day, you won't know if you've completed that bonus level or not till you enter it.
Every level in New Super Mario Bros. U has 3 Star Coins. These Star Coins range from being right in the direct path of the player, to being seemingly just out of reach, or just on the other side of a pipe, to clevery hidden behind fake walls, and behind layers of puzzling traps and platforms.
If you are having trouble getting one, just consult our guide and you'll be on your way to collecting every Star Coin in the game! Just remember they are gold, with a star in the center, and are large round coins.
The coins are used to purchase things in the shop, so there is only a finite number of them -- 3 on each level -- and once collected successfully (as in, you collect it and then complete the level) will forever after be replaced with the blue star coins (which are identical in terms of points and location).
I beat the game (up through world 8)
Now, I'm going through and collecting all the star coins. I've gotten up to World 7. I have all three coins from all the the levels but it hasn't unlocked the 7th level in world 9.
Can anyone give me some help as to what to do?
Are you sure you cleared ALL the levels? Try finding a secret exit in World 7. It should open up a new level (World 7-6). By the way, have you encountered a level with flying red-shelled creatures that you have to jump on (Not Koopa Paratroopas but Para-Beetles) that don't appear in any other level (This is World 7-6)?
Star Coins are collectibles found in the New Super Mario Bros. games as well as Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move and Mario Golf: World Tour. Three Star Coins appear in each level where some are easy to collect, while others require special power-ups such as the Mini Mushroom or the Blue Shell to access. If the player re-enters a level after finishing it, collected Star Coins will show up as translucent to show that it has been collected previously.
They also appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, there are 231 Star Coins. Three Star Coins appear in each of the game's seventy-seven levels, much like New Super Mario Bros. Also, collecting one adds 4,000 points to the player's total score, instead of 1,000 like in its predecessor.
In Super Mario 3D Land, they are replaced by Star Medals, which have a slightly different appearance but essentially the same function. Star Medals were then replaced by Green Stars in Super Mario 3D World, still serving the same purpose.
Star Coins appear again in New Super Mario Bros. 2. In this game, there are 219 Star Coins in total and they have similar uses to the Star Coins featured in New Super Mario Bros.. In World Star, Moon Coins appear instead.
Star Coins once again appear in New Super Mario Bros. U. Their purpose is the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where collecting all the Star Coins in each world unlocks a level in Superstar Road. There are in total 246 Star Coins in the game.[1]
Star Coins appear in Mario Golf: World Tour and can be used to unlock new courses and playable characters. Players can earn them by clearing Star Coin challenges. These coins are also seen in the Extra level of the training games, where players are challenged to get the Star Coin with the ball while landing it as close to the pin as possible.
Star Coins appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as special Skill Items that raise the Skill levels of all forms of Mario except the 2.0 update forms, and all types of Hammer Bros., Coin Coffers, Thwomps and Whomps. They can be earned by opening up ? Blocks; winning them from the Lucky ? Blocks game at Toad Houses; randomly dropped by Koopa Troopas and Boom Boom; or from Big Thwomps and Big Whomps with a 10+ Combo attack. Other versions of Star Coins exist: Green Star Coins, Grand Star Coins, and Grand Green Star Coins.
Star Coins appear in Golf Plus in the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. In this event, Star Coins are used to score the event and decide the winner, and on most holes are earned by getting the ball into the hole in the fewest shots. They can also be earned by hitting ? Blocks, which will produce a random number of Star Coins that can be scored by reaching the hole in under the number of shots allowed for the hole.
They are larger than normal coins, and depict a star. Almost every level in each game contains three, most games typically have over 200 Star Coins in all, and they are usuallyused to open up paths on the world map and to buy Touch Screen background images later on in the game however in some cases, Star Coins are also used to unlock secret levels. Usually, Star Coins are hard to reach, some need power-ups to obtain, such as the Propeller Mushroom, Super Leaf, and Flying Squirrel power-ups, and some coins require you to take the secret exit. Some other easier ways to get them is with the Flying Squirrel ability, Pink Baby Yoshi, and platforms created by the GamePad (if playing with a Wii Remote).
Star Coins make their debut in New Super Mario Bros.. In this game, three Star Coins can be found in each of the game's levels (with the exception of Toad Houses and Warp Cannons). When a Star Coin is collected, the player earns 1,000 points, and the Star Coin is displayed on the touch screen to indicate that it has been collected. When revisiting a level after collecting a Star Coin, a blue transparent Star Coin will be in its place (similar to already-collected Power Stars in the 3D Mario games). Star Coins are often found in secret areas or in various placements requiring the use of all the plumbers moves and abilities to obtain them. A Star Coin can be obtained by either making contact with it or by tossing an object at it such as a Shell.
Collecting Star Coins is required to fully complete the game 100%. Star Coins are used to clear out Star Coin Signs to unlock alternate paths, secret levels, Toad Houses (which all cost 5 Star Coins each), and alternate wallpapers upon the game's completion (which cost 20 Star Coins each). When all the Star Coins are collected in a world, whenever Mario spends his Star Coins a banner will appear on the level select screen of that world to indicate this. There are 240 Star Coins in the game and spending every single one of them is also a 100% requirement, once all the Star Coins are spent, an "All Spent" message will appear by the Star Coin's symbol on the World Map.
Star Coins appear again in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Three Star Coins are once again found in each level (often times requiring the use of maneuvers and power-ups to reach), but each of them are now worth 4,000 points upon being collected. Star Coins can also be found in secret areas as well. When a Star Coin is collected, it will appear on one of the outlined icons below the life counter and already-collected Star Coins are replaced with blue transparent Star Coins.
Collecting all the Star Coins in a World is necessary for unlocking levels of World 9 (for example, collecting all the Star Coins in World 2 unlocks World 9-2) and collecting every Star Coin in the game is one of the requirements to fully completing the game 100%. Star Coins can also be spent in Princess Peach's Castle to buy Hint Movies, the price of each Hint Movie can range from 3-10 Star Coins except for Hint Movies regarding secret exits which are free.
A similar item to the Star Coin called the Comet Medal appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Comet Medals can be found in the first mission of each Galaxy, collecting them makes Prankster Comets appear. Star Coins themselves are absent however.
Although Star Coins don't appear in Super Mario 3D Land, a similar item called the Star Medal does. Star Medals function similarly to Star Coins and just like them, three can be found in a level.
Star Coins reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, in this game, they are once again found in each of the game's levels (with three being found in all), these Star Coins often require the use of power-ups and abilities to obtain, they are also found in secret areas as well. Like New Super Mario Bros., collecting a Star Coin will cause it to appear on the touch screen and collected Star Coins are replaced with blue transparent Star Coins after being collected. Star Coins can be used to remove Star Coin Signs which lead to Toad Houses or alternate levels, these typically cost five Star Coins with the exception of the Toad House in World Star which costs 9 Star Coins.
