The blue coins in Super Mario Sunshine are a great reward for thoroughly exploring all the different stages. I also absolutely hate those coins. So what went wrong?
Well the answer is: It’s complicated. 
There are several reasons why I end up really disliking the blue coins that I otherwise really like. So today we are going to take a deep dive into my love hate relationship with the blue coins in Super Mario Sunshine. We will not only discuss how the blue coins succeed at what they set out to achieve, but also why they fail miserably at the same time. We will not only try to find out what went wrong with them, but we will hopefully also learn about a couple of interesting and often lesser discussed crimes in game design that the blue coins in Super Mario Sunshine commit.
