Gold (collectible)
Coins are a type of currency used within Melee and Brawl for use in various features of the game. Their uses are varied; they can be used to attempt to gain trophies via the Lottery or Coin Launcher mode, or they can be used to Continue failed single-player games. In Brawl, the online component of the game also relies on coins; it costs 1 coin to choose a stage, and players can bet on different teams and players in the Spectator mode.
Coins are gained through the VS. and Single Player modes, as each battle gives the player some coins. In both cases, players receive coins for the shorter the match lasts, the higher the damage inflicted, and the more attacks they have landed on opponents. Melee had no other sources to get coins. Brawl's Character Roll Call allows players to attain coins by hitting targets on the screen, which was dependent on the difficulty of the mode, and the number of targets hit. The Spectator and Coin Launcher modes can also give coins, though the latter primarily gives a general net loss.
The largest number of coins one can have at one time is 999 in Super Smash Bros. Melee and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is 9999. At that point, any extra coins attained in gameplay serve no purpose, effectively "wasting" them.
