Blue Coin

Blue Coins are coins found in Super Mario Sunshine. They help Mario obtain a Shine Sprite the ten blue coins he collects. There are a total of 240 blue coins total in the game. 30 blue coins are in each area except in Corona Mountain and Delfino Plaza. Delfino Plaza has 20 and Corona Mountain has only ten. If Mario returns all 240 blue coins to the boathouse, he will recieve all 24 boathouse Shine Sprites. If ten blue coins are collected, you can cash them in for one shine sprite, and, eventually, you will earn up to 240 blue coins and 24 shine sprites from them, as stated earlier.
