Star Coins are objects which serve as a form of currency and a means of scoring in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. They take the place of Point Stars from previous main-series Kirby games, and have a similar appearance and function, though with the following key differences: Star Coins are not exchanged for 1-Ups (since 1-Ups do not exist in Kirby and the Forgotten Land), and instead are spent in Waddle Dee Town to obtain various things, and they do not cap off at 100, instead continuing to accumulate through the course of the game.
Star Coins can be found in a variety of places and earned via various actions, including the following:
- Finding them out in the open or inside stage devices like containers, Pop Flowers, or foliage.
- Obtaining them from defeated enemies.
- Obtaining them from cages that previously held Waddle Dees.
- Earning them for completing a stage in Wild Mode difficulty.
Denominations
There are four main denominations of Star Coin, which are analogous to Point Stars in previous main-series titles, as follows:
- Yellow - worth 1 point
- Green - worth 5 points
- Red - worth 10 points
- Blue - worth 30 points
Additionally, piles of Star Coins can be found, which are worth varying amounts depending on their size and composition.
Spending Star Coins
Star Coins are spent in Waddle Dee Town on the following things:
- Food at the Waddle Dee Café
- Power-up items at Waddle Dee's Item Shop
- Evolved Copy Abilities at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop
- Gotcha Capsules from the Gotcha Machine Alley
Additionally, whenever Kirby is defeated, 100 Star Coins are subtracted from his total.
