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. | ||
#When Ground Pounding a [[Blue Coin Block]], a set number of Blue Coins will appear for a limited amount of time. If collected before the timer runs out, the coins and block will be unloaded. Before the block is Ground Pounded, the blue coins are loaded, but invisible and intangible. | #When Ground Pounding a [[Blue Coin Block]], a set number of Blue Coins will appear for a limited amount of time.

#When sliding down the [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] slide, including during the [[Big Penguin Race]] mission; sliding down the [[Princess's Secret Slide]], which also has a Blue Coin Block; and sliding down the [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] slide. These blue coins act differently from other blue coins. They slide down the slide similarly to how Mario does, and bounce a little. | #When sliding down the [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] slide, including during the [[Big Penguin Race]] mission; sliding down the [[Princess's Secret Slide]], which also has a Blue Coin Block; and sliding down the [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] slide.

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>.
