Sonic Frontiers marks the return of the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog in a single-player game. This game allows you to zoom across five different overworld islands with unique environments. Along the way, you will gather Coins, as per usual in a Sonic game. However, there are various types of Coins available, like Purple Coins. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about Purple Coins in Sonic Frontiers, such as how to find the collectibles and use them.

Purple Coins in Sonic Frontiers – What Are They?

Some Coins in Sonic Frontiers serve as useful collectibles. You can use them to open up Portals throughout the game. Other times, you can use them to improve Sonic’s abilities as the game progresses.

When it comes to Purple Coins, they serve a singular purpose in Sonic Frontiers: Fishing.

Fishing is an important feature despite how strange, if not interesting, it seems in a Sonic-themed game. When you fish with Purple Coins, you can bypass much of the grinding that comes with Sonic Frontiers. This is because Fishing will earn you Treasure Tokens that can then be exchanged for incredible rewards. These rewards can be just about anything, such as the following listed below:

  • Vault Keys
  • Amy’s Memory Tokens
  • Portal Gear
  • Rings
  • Red and Blue Seeds
  • Skill Pieces
  • Egg Memo

You also have the chance of Fishing a Golden Card that you can use to purchase any item in the shop no matter how much it costs. So, it pays to save up on Purple Coins in Sonic Frontiers.

There is a Fishing Spot in each of the five worlds. When you get to one, you will see Big the Cat waiting with a Fishing Rod. You will then use the Purple Coins you have gathered in Sonic Frontiers to borrow a Fishing Rod from Big the Cat.

With every Fishing attempt you make, you must give Big the Cat Purple Coins. How many depends on the world that you’re in as they can have different prices. So, be sure that you have enough Purple Coins on you before attempting the Fishing minigame.

How to Get Purple Coins in Sonic Frontiers

The best way to find Purple Coins is to do what you’re already doing: racing around the different worlds. You can come across these Coins via basic exploration. You’ll know when you’ve collected too much because you can’t hold more than 999 Purple Coins in your inventory.

You can also Starfall Event for a chance to earn more Purple Coins. When you collect the fallen star fragments, spin the slot machine, and it may reward you with Purple Coins. Again, this is only a chance. So, your safest bet is to keep exploring the map.
