Current Events > These last few purple coins in SMO are driving me nuts.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I keep combing through for them, but no luck. Worse still, one of them is keeping me from getting one of my last power moons.

I can't decide if I wanna look them up or not.

You got a Bowser amiibo?

Did you look behind you?

Nope, just Smash Zelda and Wolf Link. I'm not much of an Amiibo collector.

I've heard that gives hints or something though.

I can't tell if this is actual advice or not. Like if there's some notorious ones you can only see with a specific camera angle or something.

What world? There are a few coins in desert and bowser that are in easily overlooked areas
---

Sand and Metro. What must be one batch/set in each.

Bowser's Was the one I got before. I'd thought it was just those two but then I went and finished up the Power Moons there and noticed I was missing a batch of coins, so I did one comb through and found them.

I just made sure to get all the purple coins on the first time in the kingdom after the missions were over because they're all available by then.
---

In sand, there are some coins in an area you would never look (while hunting moons), in a blind spot of the perimeter sand (like, you will need to move the camera to see them)

Metro... I would say make sure you're looking in between all the buildings, because I assume you've already been on the rooftops and cleared out the subareas
---

The Sand Kingdom ones are once you get off the Odyssey, hug the southwestern edge of the map all the way, and near the tip of the southwestern border of the map, there's 3 purple coins hanging off the edge of the level
---

I'm totally spacing on what you mean by missions.
---

For Metro go to the front left corner (where that Moon is under bags of garbage) and scope out the world border there in the back.

For Sand I think theres some in hidden 8-bit areas. It looks like a wall but you can pass through it into a hidden spot.

Yeah, I combed the perimeter and got those ages ago. I've done the same in Metro.

I didn't especially want to be outright told where coins were though, if I did I would've looked them up already. >_____>

I know I've gotten those Metro ones, and as for Sand, I know I've gotten some that way, and have tried to find more that way several times.

Just keep looking for them, remember to use your camera at all angles in new areas. Honestly I found the purple coins much easier than the moons.
---

I'm starting to wonder if it's in one of the mini-areas where Cappy doesn't say anything at all. I know in some of them he'll mention there's nothing left there, but in others, nada.

I also felt like none of the ones I've found were locked behind moon rocks but now I'm thinking I should go check those areas too.

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll try moving my camera more.

I found the Metro ones! Moved around a lot with my camera at a bird's eye view.

It was the ones above the hidden area in the front right. I got the ones under the building before, what I was missing was the ones on the side.
