Red Coin

Red Coins are coins found in Super Mario Sunshine. Surprisingly, one episode in each area (excluding Delfino Plaza and Corona Mountain) has one episode that contains red coins. There are eight red coins found in each level. Once all eight red coins are collected, a Shine Sprite will appear in a random place among the level. Some levels have two red coin missions, such as Bianco Hills. After a "secret" mission is completed, (one in which Shadow Mario takes FLUDD from Mario), if you return to that same mission, there will be a big red button. If you ground pound the button, eight red coins will appear throughout the mission, and, if collected within the time limit, a Shine Sprite will apear. If not, you will die and be sent back to the beginning of the mission.
