Do coins from item boxes count towards total coins collected?
Mario Kart 8 has coins scattered about the track which make you go faster and contribute to unlocking kart customisations. Coins can also be obtained from item boxes - there's one item that gives you 2 coins when activated. These (obviously) contribute to making you go faster, but do they contribute to customisation unlocks?
Best Answer
Yes.
All coins contribute to item unlocks, including coins from item boxes.
