Coin Battle

A Coin Battle in Brawl.

Coin is a mode of Vs. Play in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The objective is to collect as many Smash Coins - and, in Brawl, Smash Bills - as possible. Coin Battles are timed, and the player holding the most Smash Coins at the end of the match wins.

Gameplay

A Coin Battle in Melee.

Coins are produced when any attack hits an opponent. The amount and value of the coins released depends on the strength of the attack. Smash coins thrown from a player will not be deducted from their tally, but being KO'd will cause the player to lose half their coins (to a maximum of 100 in Brawl). These may be grabbed if close enough to the stage. Often, it is a bad strategy to use projectile moves like Bowser's Fire Breath for long periods of time, because the person getting hit with it will rack up points by collecting the coins knocked out of them. On custom stages, one can bounce between spikes and a low platform to rack up coins quickly.

In Melee, there are gold, silver, and copper Smash Coins, worth ten, five, and one point respectively. In Brawl, the coins were lowered in value to six, three, and one point respectively, while a new item, the Smash Bill, is introduced. Bills flutter and fly erratically, making them difficult to pick up, but they are worth 10 points each.

Trivia

After a coin match, there is a possibility of entering a sudden death match by having 2 or more characters collect the same amount of coins. The winner is not based off of who gets the first coin, rather, it is the person who gets the first K.O.
