Lost Kingdom Purple Coins FAQ
How many purple coins are in Lost Kingdom?
Lost Kingdom has 50 purple coins. You can collect all of them after reaching Forgotten Isle, but some are much easier once you have Cappy back from Klepto.
Where are the hardest Lost Kingdom purple coins to find?
The easiest clusters to miss are the hidden upper alcoves near the propeller-pillar route, the small cavern used during Cappy’s recovery, and the final glide route from Rocky Mountain Summit.
Do I need Cappy to collect every Lost Kingdom purple coin?
Yes for practical cleanup. Klepto steals Cappy early in Lost Kingdom, and several routes become much safer or only make sense once Cappy is recovered and you can capture Tropical Wigglers and Glydon.
How do I get the final purple coins in Lost Kingdom?
Go to Rocky Mountain Summit, capture Glydon, and glide toward the distant coin route over the poison water. Keep your glide high and adjust early so you do not fall short.
What can I buy with Lost Kingdom purple coins?
Lost Kingdom purple coins are regional currency for this kingdom’s Crazy Cap shop items. They cannot be spent in another kingdom.
Can I leave Lost Kingdom and come back for missing purple coins later?
Yes. You can return to Lost Kingdom from the Odyssey at any time after unlocking it, which makes cleanup easier if you want to finish the story route first.
