Why Pink Coins Matter and Why Stopping at 10 Is a Mistake

According to the official Deltarune Wiki, pink coins are a currency exclusive to Chapter 5's Flower Kingdom. They show up in pink chests and by striking pink bells during the chapter's 2D platforming segments. You cannot farm them, and each source yields exactly one coin, so there are exactly 19 available per playthrough.

The 10-coin threshold to buy the Mystery Key is the hard gate into the Chapter 5 secret boss fight against Pink (also known as Mad Mew Mew returning from Undertale). But the remaining 9 coins are not wasted. After you defeat Pink, a post-fight shop opens where each piece of exclusive flower-themed gear costs 3 pink coins and 100 Flowery Dollars. You can only buy 3 items, so the math works out to exactly 9 extra coins being useful, then anything left evaporates. Collect as many as you reasonably can before the point of no return.

One critical prerequisite: you cannot access any pink coin until you have the Petal Feather. Games.gg's pink coin guide notes that the Petal Feather, earned by defeating the Aqua boss, is what activates the 2D platforming sections throughout the Flower Kingdom. Without it, every pink chest and pink bell stays out of reach. Defeat Aqua first, then begin the coin hunt.

There is also a fallback option for completionists who miss coins. A character named Ferroll, found in the Cliffs area after Pink has been defeated, will appear in the Pink Fight Room and offer to identify which areas still have coins, at a cost of 50 Flowery Dollars. She tells you the count per zone, but not the exact spots, so this guide still matters even if you use her service.

The Foxes Breakout: Complete Walkthrough for All 5 Foxes and the Secret Room Pink Coin

The Foxes Breakout is what the community is calling the fox-catching puzzle at the Second Diner inside Flower Castle. When you reach this area, a character named Aqua blocks your path and demands you bring her three foxes hidden in the immediate area. Three foxes gets you past Aqua. But there is a locked door directly behind her, and that door only opens when you have found all five.

I spent an embarrassing amount of time on this section on my first run. Aqua accepted my three foxes, I moved on, and I didn't realize until I was doing post-story cleanup that a locked room was sitting right there the whole time, holding an entire pink coin hostage. Do not make my mistake. Get all five on your first pass through the area.

All five foxes are concentrated in the Second Diner fox-statue area. There is no chapter-wide backtracking needed. Here is every location.

Fox 1: The Hidden Paw Behind the Paper Walls

Before you enter the main statue room, head right of the door and walk behind the paper screens. You will see a gauntlet of floating paw-shaped projectiles moving up and down. Dodge through the first four carefully. Further along, the gap between two paws in the chain is noticeably wider than the others. That wide gap is not an opening. One of those paws is a fox in disguise. Games.gg's fox guide specifies it is the fourth paw from the left in that longer chain. Stand inside it without taking damage, interact with X or A, and carry it back to the front to bank your first fox.

Fox 2: The One Running Around the Statue Room

Enter the main room through the door beside Aqua. Inside, past the rows of Terracotta figurines, a fox is hopping freely in the crowd. Get close and it will bolt, weaving between the statues. Chase it until it runs out of room and gives up. This is one of the three story-required foxes, so if you have already passed Aqua, you have already caught this one.

Fox 3: The Statue That Is Not a Statue

Head to the bottom-right corner of the Terracotta statue room. Look at the bottom row of figurines and find the one that is second from the far right edge. Get directly behind it and press X or A to push it off the ledge. As it falls, it transforms into a fox. Catch it before it wanders.

Fox 4: The Dancing Fox Behind the Curtain

From the Terracotta room, take the doorway in the top-right (northeast) corner. Inside, a group of silhouettes hop behind a paper screen. Hit the switch or stand on the blue button in front of the stage to lift the curtain. Only one of the shapes is a real fox. The method recommended by TheGameSlayer: place one of the stones onto the button itself, then walk straight to the fox and grab it. This lets you keep the curtain raised without needing to hold anything down.

Fox 5: Yellow's Dressing Room

Return to the Terracotta room and go to the top-left (northwest) corner. A statue is blocking the way. Push it aside to reveal a hidden door. Inside is a small room with a paper screen showing Yellow in what appears to be a private moment involving a change of boots. Interact with the screen, the ruse collapses, and Yellow is revealed to be a fox. That is your fifth.

The Secret Room: Your Pink Coin Reward

Once all five are collected, the locked door opens. Walk through and you will find a single fox sitting quietly at the far end of the room. Interact with it. The fox dissolves into a pink chest. Open the chest to receive one pink coin. This is Fox Room pink coin, one of the 19 total, and a coin that many players miss entirely by never backtracking.

All Deltarune Pink Coin Locations: Garden Area (4 Coins)

The Garden is the first major area of the Flower Kingdom and holds four pink coins. All require the Petal Feather to reach, since they are gated behind the 2D platforming sections that activate once Aqua is defeated.

Garden Coin 1: Watering Can Lake Room

From the Garden area where you first pick up the Watering Can, use it to create a grassy path heading left. Follow the path all the way to the top of the room. A pink chest waits at the summit, sitting above what functions as a small lake chamber. If you are on your first visit, grab this immediately as it sits directly on the main exploration route.

Garden Coin 2: Temple Roof Pink Bell

In platforming mode, head left of the temple and climb the beanstalk by jumping up the leaves. Reach the top, then move right onto the temple roof. Jump right once more to land on a leaf, then a second leaf. The pink bell is at the end of that second leaf. Strike it to receive the coin.

Garden Coin 3: Flowery's Beginner Room

This is the room where Flowery assists you against the Floradinn enemy. Bring the water canister and create a path to the left from the scissors section. Follow that path all the way to the top of the room. There is a pink chest there. Collect it on your first visit because backtracking to this room is annoying.

Garden Coin 4: Torii Gate Dash Bell

Head right of the HopsChef area and complete the platforming section. Look for a Torii Gate at the end of the room and dash through it. After the dash completes, ring the pink bell at the destination. If gaps look too wide to jump normally in this zone, a Torii Gate nearby is almost always the answer.

All Deltarune Pink Coin Locations: Cliffs Area (4 Coins)

The Cliffs area has four coins spread across two climbing routes. Using the magic door's fast-travel to the First Climb and Netskie Climb points makes this section far less painful after the story is done.

Cliffs Coin 1: Vine Climb Pink Bell

Fast-travel to the First Climb location. Head right and climb using the vines. After ascending, the path curves left. Find the Mysterious Structure next to a set of petals, activate it, and jump left. You will drop down, but use Ralsei to climb back up and jump mid-air to the correct ledge. A pink coin bell waits there.

Cliffs Coin 2: Falling Water Coin

Exiting the previous coin's area via the petals places you near a second set of vines. Climb them and move right while avoiding falling rubble. At the far right end of the path, this coin sits directly under a stream of falling water. Position carefully and grab it.

Cliffs Coin 3: Windmill Ride Cave Bell

Head to the shop in the Cliffs area and continue right until you reach two windmills. Activate the first windmill to set the giant flower platforms in motion. Drop to the vines below, then attach Ralsei to the underside of a moving flower and ride it while avoiding the spinning blades. This carries you to a cave opening. Clear the enemies inside and collect the pink coin bell at the end. Use the second windmill afterward to return to the main path.

Cliffs Coin 4: Netskie Climb Dash Cave

Fast-travel to the Netskie Climb point. Climb the vines but branch right instead of left when you reach the split. Find the Mysterious Structure in the cave ahead, activate it, then complete the dash section without falling. The pink coin bell is at the end of the dash run.

All Deltarune Pink Coin Locations: Castle Area (11 Coins)

The Castle is where the majority of coins live, split across East, West, and Top sections. This is also where most players spend the most time and get the most confused. The Foxes Breakout coin covered earlier counts toward this section.

Castle Coin 1: Flowery Jukebox Room Upper Door

Start at the room with Flowery and the jukebox. Head right across the bridge and enter the paper door on that side. Continue all the way to the right and then move upward. The pink coin is behind the paper door immediately above your arrival point at the top.

Castle Coin 2: Shadow in the Door

From the Green's Cafe area, go right and then into the next room. You will notice the shadow of a chest visible through a door. Open the door, go around, and open the chest on the other side for the coin. Easy to walk past if you are not paying attention to silhouettes.

Castle Coin 3: Fox Room Secret Pink Coin

This is the coin from the Foxes Breakout covered in detail above. Find all five foxes, open the locked secret room, and interact with the fox inside to transform it into a pink chest.

Castle Coin 4: Terracotta Statue Puzzle Chest

Push all the Terracotta statues off the ledges in the lower levels of the Castle. Clearing them opens a path to a chest holding a pink coin. This is in the same general area as the Foxes Breakout statue room.

Castle Coin 5: Elevator Puzzle Room Bell

Return to the room where the chest was hidden behind the door (Coin 2 area). Head down and left to take the elevator. It leads to a platforming puzzle room. Solve the puzzle, activate platforming mode, and reach the pink bell at the top to claim the coin.

Castle Coin 6: Sliding Puzzle Bell

Head to the room where a fox turned into a chest earlier (Fox Room area). Take the stairs upward and go left. Solve the sliding block puzzle in that room. With Ralsei's vine as an assist, you can reach the bell hanging at the top for this coin.

Castle Coin 7: Blue's Room Flower-Bounce Climb

Fast-travel to Blue's Room via the magic door. Continue right through several rooms until you reach a room filled with bouncy flowers. Use the flowers to bounce your way up. This is one of the more punishing climbs in the chapter. Falling sends you back to the start of the bouncing sequence, so patience is not optional here. The coin sits at the very top.

Castle Coin 8: East Castle Puzzle Room Bell

Head through the Terracotta warriors room and the spinning knives room. Alternatively fast-travel directly to the East Castle puzzle room if unlocked. On the right side of this room, activate the pink bell for the coin.

Castle Coin 9: Orange Room Boxing Glove Secret

In the room with the rotating orange boxing gloves, look for a white wall on the right side. Hit the boxing gloves so they smash through the wall. Enter the hidden room and strike the orange glove again to receive this pink coin.

Castle Coin 10: Mushroom Timed Puzzle

This one is timed, and it is mean about it. You need to place two mushrooms in their designated spots. The first mushroom can be placed at your own pace on the left to deactivate the spikes. The second mushroom, carried from the far right, has to reach its spot before a fox appears and eats it. Move fast. Get it in the hole and the pink chest opens.

Castle Coin 11 (Top Section): Windmill Drop Final Coin

This coin sits in the Castle's Top section, just beside the Pink Door itself. Reach the top area after Green's final shop by going left when the main story would have you go right. Activate the windmill to generate airflow and descend, slashing flowers as you fall to clear a path while avoiding rings of fire. At the very bottom of this descent, the coin sits right next to the Pink Door. Collect it, then use the fast-travel save point at the Pink Door before you leave.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! DELTARUNE Chapter 5 will launch simultaneously worldwide on all platforms on June 24 at 11:00am EDT."

How to Buy the Mystery Key and Use It on the Pink Door

Once you have 10 pink coins, the Mystery Key is available for purchase at the shop in the Cliffs area. If you have fast travel enabled, open the magic door and select Cliffs, then Shop. Game Rant confirms the cost is exactly 10 pink coins with no additional currency required for the Key itself.

With the Mystery Key in inventory, the path to the Pink Door starts at Green's final shop. Head right from there, hit the perspective shift switch, then climb to the very top of the area. At the top, go left. You will enter a platforming gauntlet: bounce across moving flowers using your sword, avoid floating knives, and watch for a Winged-Deltarune symbol that marks a downward exit. Optional platforming is available to the left if you are hunting the last coin there.

A pinwheel appears further along. Activate it to destroy the platform beneath you and descend through a gap in the blue flowers, slashing as you fall. There are also ring-shooting guns in this section. Focus only on your Soul movement. At the bottom of the descent, the Pink Door and the final coin are both waiting. Use the Mystery Key on the door.
