The Coin launcher, as the name implies, is a machine that uses [[coin (lottery)|coins]] as projectiles. Using the launcher, coins are shot at [[trophies]] to obtain them. The shooting button can be held down, and when released the coin will be launched much faster than usual. There are also various types of enemies that can be shot; shooting an entire group earns [[stickers]] and bonuses. One bonus is a slight increase in spawn rate of rarer trophies. Another bonus is a certain amount of extra coins, that can range from 10 to 50. As the player destroys enemies, part of the green gauge below the player's coin supply fills up. When the gauge completely fills up, three trophies appear (although this does not always happen), and coins can be shot out at a significantly faster rate. Once a certain time has passed, the gauge empties. There are also periodic missiles that will deduct coins if they hit the lower section of the coin launcher, or give "bonus points" when destroyed. The missiles may also reduce the charge in the green gauge.

The trophy distribution is set up so that uncollected trophies will appear more often as groups of enemies are destroyed. [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various38.html]

The counters for trophies and stickers do not display numbers over 99. However, it is possible to earn more than 99 trophies or stickers at one time.
