The '''Coin Launcher''' ({{ja|コインシューター|Koin Shūtā}}, ''Coin Shooter'') is a trophy-snagging [[minigame]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It acts as a replacement for the [[Lottery]] feature of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and it itself was replaced by [[Trophy Rush]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

==Gameplay==
The Coin Launcher, as the name implies, is a machine that uses [[coins (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 Coin Launcher, as the name implies, is a machine that uses [[coins (collectable)|coins]] as projectiles. Using the Launcher, coins are shot at [[trophies]] to obtain them, with each trophy requiring 2—4 coins to be captured. Players must press the fire button each time they wish to shoot a coin, though the button can be held briefly and released to launch a coin at a higher speed.


While attempting to shoot at trophies or waiting for more trophies to appear, enemies can also appear in the mode. Enemies appear in waves and require one coin to destroy. Destroying entire waves of enemies increases the spawn rates of rare trophies, grants a small amount of extra coins from 10 to 50, and can provide the player some [[sticker]]s. Destroying individual enemies also fills a gauge in the mode, which is displayed below the player's coin supply. It takes 10 "points" to fill one square of the gauge, with destroyed enemies granting one point and an additional two points when clearing a wave of enemies. Upon filling all 10 squares, the Launcher will gain a temporary boost to firing speed, and, depending on timing, two or three trophies may automatically appear. The gauge empties after some time, though successive increases in the gauge gradually increase the rate at which uncollected trophies appear.
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]
 
Missiles, which require 2 coins to destroy, can also appear at random in the mode, either by themselves, as part of enemy waves, or as massive swarms that attempt to overwhelm the player. The swarms appear at complete random but only require one coin each to destroy. Destroying missiles gives five points to the gauge and can grant other bonuses, such as more coins or increasing the chance of finding a rare trophy. Getting hit by a missile, depletes the gauge by 30 and deducts 20 coins.


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

As an extra bonus, rotating the [[C-Stick]] on the [[GameCube controller]] or the right stick on the [[Classic Controller]] will move the camera, much like on the main menu.

===Enemies===
== Enemies ==
There are six types of enemies that may appear.
There are five types of enemies that may appear (note that the naming is unofficial.)
{|class="wikitable"
*'''Platters''' are rotating triangle-shaped enemies that move in wave-like patterns, typically appearing in groups of six.
|-
*'''Pills''' are oval-shaped enemies that also travel in wave-like patterns in groups of six. Sometimes they travel side-by-side.
!Image!!Description
*'''Pointers''' are triangle-shaped enemies that appear in groups of five. They either move from one side of the board to the other in an arrowhead formation, or they move in an arch-like shape from the back.
|-
*'''Pirouettes''' are small spheres with a "wing" sticking out of each side. They only appear in groups of three, rolling in from the back of the board and then rolling back out.

*'''Plunks''' are black spheres with a purple interior. They slowly inch across the board and cannot be destroyed, simply blocking any coins that hit them. They appear in groups of three, but usually only one is on the board at once.
|-
| style="text-align:center;"|[[File:TrophyEn2.png]] || Oval-shaped enemies that also travel in wave-like patterns in groups of six. Sometimes they travel in three pairs.
|-
| style="text-align:center;"|[[File:TrophyEn4.png]] || Triangle-shaped enemies that appear in groups of five. They either move from one side of the board to the other in an arrowhead formation, or they move in an arch-like shape from the back.
|-
| style="text-align:center;"|[[File:TrophyEn1.png]] || Small spheres with a "wing" sticking out of each side. They only appear in groups of three, rolling in from the back of the board and then rolling back out. If all three are destroyed quickly enough, the player gets either a sticker or a coin bonus.
|-
| style="text-align:center;"|[[File:TrophyBall.png]] || Black spheres with a purple interior. They slowly inch across the board and cannot be destroyed, simply blocking any coins that hit them. They appear in groups of three, either spaced close together or far enough apart such that one will appear when another is halfway across the board.
|-
| style="text-align:center;"|[[File:TrophyRocket.png]] || Missiles that travel towards the launcher at various speeds. If it hits, coins are lost and the gauge is reduced.

Pits may also appear at intervals, usually in conjunction with the invincible sphere enemies. Coins will be wasted if they fall into a pit, but charging a coin can potentially allow it to "jump" across the corners of these pits.
