Impossible coins: Difference between revisions

'''Impossible Coins''' are coins that are impossible to collect. These are usually created through programmer oversights.

In [[THI|Tiny Huge Island]] there is a row of coins, one of which spawns too low below the ground and the game immediately unloads it 1 frame after it loads since there is a failsafe stopping it from loading for more than 1 frame. This makes it so that instead of 5 coins, 4 coins load. Though it is loaded for one frame, it cannot be [[clone|cloned]] because cloning and then collecting requires at least 2 frames.

The '''Mystery Goomba''' is a member of a [[goomba triangle]] in [[Bowser in the Sky]] that is (presumably accidentally) placed over the [[Death Barrier|death barrier]], causing it to spawn on the death barrier upon being loaded, which causes it to unload on the next frame. In addition, the radius of the Goomba triangle and the Mystery Goomba do not overlap, so it turns invisible and intangible after one [[frame]] and doesn't move. While it is possible to [[clone]] the Mystery Goomba, for all intents and purposes the coin inside the real thing has been deemed an impossible coin.
