Coins are collectibles that made their first appearance in Mario Bros. and returned in Super Mario Bros. and its upcoming games. They have been hugely recognized in the Super Mario series mainly from their mechanics and the sound they make when collected, eventually making more appearances in other familiar spin-offs.

Coins have ways of appearing; either be hidden in "?" blocks, or simply be shown normally on-screen. Coins are especially common in bonus rooms, some of which are hidden sometimes. If one was collected via a ''?'' Block or a Brick Block, they will rotate before sparkling and disappearing.

In Mario Forever, they first appear in World 1-1, and if the player happens to collect 100 Coins, they will receive an extra life. They also reward 200 points for each coin collected.
