Super Mario 64 Coins
The main goal in Super Mario 64 is to get stars, but there are also many
coins to get in each world. Below is a count of the coins I know of.
Nintendo Power published an incorrect coin count. It even published a
couple of incorrect “corrections.” The screen image below proves Nintendo was
wrong. (Click on the image to see it full-size.)
A few web pages that claim there are more coins, but most are not credible.
Some have arithmetic errors, some claim excessively many coins with no
explanation, and none I have seen have screen images or other evidence.

found, one in Snowman’s Land and one in Tiny-Huge Island. They may be
inaccessible with normal play.
