Heya! I have a question. Why are Coins allowed in a no Items Run?!

Coins ARE Items. They are listed under the Items Help Menu ingame. And in the settings it then says: Only coins and not No Items.

There is an item that boosts your coins, but take this example:

In tracks like Wii's Maple Treeway or (an example actually in this game), Autumn Animal Crossing, notice that leaf piles can spawn items in normal races. Now notice how on No Items, they can't. That's because Mushrooms are still considered items, but overworld coins and coin items are different.

In the VS settings, you can select "No Items". We use this setting. There is also the setting "No Items and Coins". The category name is No Items and not No Items and Coins so therefor coins are allowed.

Well, in the german language there isnt a ''No items'' setting. Its only ''No items/Coins'' or ''only coins'' this is why im asking, but thanks a lot! :)
