Character Coins or Baby Coins are coins that the Yoshis can collect in Yoshi's Island DS. The Yoshi can collect a Baby Coin only with the baby on Yoshi's back that is seen on the coin. Collecting all eight Baby Coins in a world (or all seven in the case of world five) unlocks a minigame in the game's Hard Mode. The 39 coins in the game are evenly distributed to 13 each among Baby Mario, Baby Peach, and Baby DK.
