Repeat the Downtown Grassland Stage

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Repeat the Downtown Grassland.png

Downtown Grassland Around 350-400 Star Coins in 8 minutes.

Since Star Coins do not respawn while you're in a stage and respawning enemies do not give you extra coins, one way to get more Star Coins is to restart it constantly. Though you do not need to complete the stage to get the Star Coins, you obtain the most Star Coins at the end of the level.

The Downtown Grassland stage offers one of the most coins out of all the levels in the game while also being the easiest one. If you're quick, you can finish the stage in as little as 8 minutes and collect between 350 to 400 coins if you scour each area.

Star Coins is one of the required items for evolving your Copy Abilities, aside from the Blueprints and Rare Stones. You can evolve all of your abilities in any order as long as you have the Blueprint for the specific stage. Prioritize saving your coins to get upgrades to help you progress through the stages smoother.

3rd Stage 800 Star Coins
Meta Knight Sword
Masked Hammer
1200 Star Coins

Upgrade costs for the second and third stages of an ability have a fixed amount. But there are Copy Abilities from the past Kirby titles that cost a bit higher, such as the Meta Knight Sword and Masked Hammer to unlock.
