Since Paper Mario: The Origami King does not have a level-up system, the main reward for winning each battle are coins, which is essential in buying Time, useful items, and accessories.

Most of the accessories are pretty expensive. So getting battle bonuses can help you earn lots of coins. Remember, the better you perform in battle, the more coins you get. Ace every battle!
