I recently acquired a Nintendo switch and bought Mario Odyssey as I love the series and it is a highly praised game.

Actually I had tried it before on a friends console and it was just awasome. I just played for fun and didn't collect all Purple Coins in the first 2 levels.

Yesterday I took a break from playing Zelda and started my Mario Odyssey adventure on my new switch.
Strangely enough I got to the end of the Cap Kingdom without seeing any Purple Coins (hats)!
I was playing my first game while it downloaded the update - not sure if it influenced it...
Afterwords I restarted the game and went trough this kingdom again only to find none Purple Coins whatsoever!
I even went online to read some walktroughs to see if I was missing any spot only to realize that in my game they were exchanged to normal gold coins! What a disappointment...

Anyone had this issue? How can I fix the game and solve it? Any clues?
Hope someone solves this as it would otherwise compromise seriously my experience and enjoyment of this wonderful title.

I would try the check software/repair software option in the system menu. Otherwise contact Nintendo.

My other Switch is a WiiU.

I even deleted the app and its data and downloaded the update again (while not playing nothing) and simply there aren't any Purple Coins to find (in those places there are normal gold coins instead)!...

If you're JUST starting the game, at first when you're in the Cap Kingdom they ARE no purple coins, if I recall correctly. They don't show up until you come back later.

Currently procrastinating on: implementing virtual memory and synchronization.

@MRok Yeah, listen to what @Judi said. If you are just starting out, like when Mario gets his cap ripped, than there are no purple coins until you come back later.

@Voldemort807 Actually that's strange as I recall playing that level the first time when in my friends console and I did find the Purple Coins...
@Judi What do you mean when you come back later? I finished the level and defeated the bunny boss and stil didn't found the missing coins...
Thank you guys, but still no solution at this point in time...

@MRok You have to travel to Cascade Kingdom and power up the Odyssey before you can go back to Cap Kingdom to find purple coins.

@Mrok the 50 purple coins come after the cascade kingdom

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Thanks! I guess the first time I played it I probably went back for another run in this Kingdom. Honestly I didn't recall it!
In this new playtrough I completed the Cascade kingdom but Cappy wants me to move forward to the sand kingdom...
I suppose I can later get to Cap kingdom and check the Purple hats and some extra power moons as well.
