We're going Luigi crazy on Nintendo Life today, marking the end of the Year of Luigi. Nintendo UK has kindly donated four special Year of Luigi coins (pictured below) that our UK readers can win. You may remember that Nintendo offered some Year of Luigi coins via Club Nintendo, however those that we have up for grabs are slightly different and were only available to attendees at E3 2013.
How to win
If you're logged in to your Nintendo Life account, and you're in the United Kingdom, we've hidden some special Luigi coins around the website; if you spot one hiding on a page, make sure you click it!
Once you've found a coin you'll need to answer three Luigi-themed questions in succession to win one of our coins; if you get an answer wrong you'll have to start all over again and find another coin. Once all four coins are allocated the treasure hunt will be over, so don't wait too long to trawl through pages where you think we may have hidden these Luigi-themed treats.
Good luck!
Update: All our coins have now been found! Congratulations to Alienjesus88, Bulbousaur, PaRappa and TheHaydenator who each will receive one of the coins! Thanks for taking part.

I must find it!
Challenge accepted.
[EDIT] Challenge completed.
I think I got one, but the site freaked out on me for second and now I'm not sure if it went through :S
Arrgggh... two coins have been found already... you better act fast!
Where are they?!?!?
got one!!
I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for. I'll just enter the official Nintendo UK competition instead.
Let's do this.
My spidey senses are tingling
There is only one coin left... I guess I underestimated you guys!
Lots of frantic clicking and scouring but coming up totally blank :/
is it a GIF?
As a help to those looking for the elusive last coin... the one I found was peeking out of the side of an article.
is it gold or green?
It looks just like the coin pictured above!
cool, thanks
I have searched EVERYWHERE! D':
Me too where is it!?
Am I looking for a really small picture?
@antdickens You cruel, cruel person xD
I'm on the verge of giving up
@PvtOttobot thanks!
I give up. I've looked everywhere, and I barely know what I'm looking for.
NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
@TheHaydenator I know, but... I've been through like the past month of news articles, features, reviews... everything. Nothing.
starting to doubt that there were ever 4 D: @skyluigi2 same!!
@skyluigi2 you're warm, but they are random so only appear sometimes!
What?! That is... strange
How can we look for something random?
@antdickens Hmm... so do they appear on specific pages, or random pages?
I guessing it's based on luck
Looking in the source code now xD
You sure there's one left? The first three were found really quickly!
knowing me I've probably passed it a million times
@antdickens Are you judging purely by the people who said they found one? Or do you have a notification system telling you one left?
The database tells me there is still one more slot, they appear randomly but on specific pages! Keep looking!
Cool, I'm on the verge of giving up though...
me too
oh c'mon, where is it?
@antdickens Is it random like randomly selecting an allowed IP address, or random as in if you keep clicking on the same article (one of the 'correct' ones of course) it will randomly appear?
Because the first one would be very mean.
At least give us a hint to what type of page it is
At this point I think it's only us three that are still looking, anyway...!
Make that four And yeah, I agree someone should say whether they're on a specific category of page, or whatever
@antdickens please, lend us you wisdom
Please understand that we are working very hard to find it
@PvtOttobot the latter!
Ok guys, here's a helping hand! They're probably all on Luigi based pages! Mine was in the Dr.Luigi review...
Looked in every Luigi page... but they are also randomly generated ARGH!
That's what I thought, but I'm still not finding any. I'll look for just a bit longer.
FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
@TheHaydenator Wow, where was it?
Yes I've won it!
sobs loudly
@TheHaydenator Yes, well done! You're our final winner!
I have!
oh balls
LAME! I found it but it didn't let me get it...
one sec
Where did you find it out of curiosity? I've been searching for it for the last hour with my partner xD
Same here, didn't see it once. Still don't really know what it looks like!
Well that was laborious. Least you should have some increased ad revenue with all the pages I was checking.
I've been going through Luigi pages, but Dr. Luigi was where it was. It appeared on the left hand side, and when I scrolled over it the rolled out to show the full coin
D:
The coins were on the four games we reviewed as part of the Year of Luigi I've updated the article with the winners.
I even checked last years April fools page!
@PvtOttobot DAMN! I saw that earlier but I didn't think that was it!
@NintendoLee The clue was the italic link near the start of the article!
@antdickens after all that I find it... no prize waste of an hour!
@PvtOttobot there's another competition coming up at 7pm which you'll definitely be able to enter!
@antdickens Well I missed everything.
@antdickens ready to pounce...
For those unlucky this time around, check out the other Luigi competiton
Oh phew, It did go through!
For what it;s worth, I found my coin on the Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon review.
I did enjoy the traipsing about one. Even read the terms and conditions of the site. I missed the obvious clue!
Congrats fellow luigi coin winners!!
@Bulbousaur @PaRappa @TheHaydenator @Alienjesus88 well done guys you beat me to it ......if only my internet wasn't so rubbish, I'd love to have disappointed one of you
