Gold (collectible)

Gaining coins in Classic Mode.

Coins are used in Brawl's Coin Launcher or in Melee's Lottery to win Trophies, and can also be used for Continues and Spectator Mode.

Coins can be gained by a variety of ways; the most common is to merely play through the VS. and Single Player modes, as each battle gives the player some coins. In both cases, the shortest the match lasts, the higher the damage inflicted, and the more attacks they have landed on opponents.

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. In Brawl's Character Roll Call, the player also attains coins depending on the difficultly of the mode and how many targets they have hit.

When playing online modes, it costs 1 coin in order to make a stage selection (Selecting "Random" is free).
