A '''Blue Coin''' is a coin that is a blue-colored variant of the [[Yellow Coin]]. When Mario interacts with its hitbox, the coin counter is incremented by 5 instantly, which appears over time in the coin count because it only updates every other frame. Mario's integral [[HP]] is also increased by 5 gradually. The coin loads some [[Coin Twinkles]] and then unloads. | A '''Blue Coin''' is a coin that is a blue-colored variant of the [[Yellow Coin]].

These coins can spawn in one of three ways. | These coins can spawn in one of three ways. | ||
#Certain enemies spawn Blue Coins upon death, like [[Medium Piranha Plants]] such as those in [[Whomp's Fortress]], [[Mr. I|Mr. I's]], and [[Beach Koopa|Beach]] or [[Shellless Koopa]]. Blue Coins are also spawned by [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounding]] a [[Big Goomba]], but not by killing it any other way, and by killing the head of a [[Pokey]]. Oddly, upon breaking a [[Crazy Box]] or throwing a [[Chuckya]], five Yellow Coins are spawned rather than a Blue Coin, even though both would increment the coin counter by the same amount. | #Certain enemies spawn Blue Coins upon death, like [[Medium Piranha Plants]] such as those in [[Whomp's Fortress]], [[Mr. I|Mr. I's]], and [[Beach Koopa|Beach]] or [[Shellless Koopa]].

Although it has been possible to clone Blue Coins since the basics of [[cloning]] and [[handsfree holding]] were discovered, it was thought impossible to clone them productively; that is, to collect more coins than normally possible by cloning them<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GeID2o7CV0</ref>. However, it was discovered that by quickly getting to a [[loading zone]], which is only possible in [[Wet-Dry World]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjY7mEtqvK4</ref>, the coin could be both cloned and recollected. Originally, it was thought that the only way to reach the loading zone in time was to use an [[Overflow Jump]], which required visiting [[Parallel Universes]] to do. However, it was later found that it can be done using only a moderate amount of speed via a negative-height jump<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdT27ZpQjR0</ref>. | Although it has been possible to clone Blue Coins since the basics of [[cloning]] and [[handsfree holding]] were discovered, it was thought impossible to clone them productively; that is, to collect more coins than normally possible by cloning them<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GeID2o7CV0</ref>.
