These [[coin]]s appear only in the [[World-e]] levels. Advance Coins are similar to [[Ace Coin]]s in appearance, except yellow instead of red. Unlike Ace Coins, they spin before being collected. There are one to five Advance Coins in every [[level]] and 147 Advance Coins in total. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] collects all the Advance Coins in a level, he earns an [[extra life]], similar to the functionality of [[Dragon Coin]]s or Ace Coins. If the player gets enough Advance Coins, they can enter any of three special World-e [[Toad House]]s, where they can play an exclusive [[minigame|mini-game]]. The player must collect 30 Advance Coins to access the [[Blue Mushroom House]], 50 for the [[Red Mushroom House]], and 80 for the [[Orange Mushroom House]]. Because a limited number of levels was released outside Japan, international players can collect up to 49 Advance Coins, making them unable to enter the final two Toad Houses.

| | If the player accumulates enough Advance Coins, they can enter any of three special World-e [[Toad House]]s, where they can play a special [[minigame]]. The player must collect 30 Advance Coins for [[Digging Minigame]], 50 for [[Ball Throwing Minigame]], and 80 for [[Balloon Fight Minigame]]. However, because a limited number of levels were released outside of Japan, non-Japanese gamers will only be able to collect 49 Advance Coins and will therefore be unable to gather enough Advance Coins needed to enter the final two of the Toad Houses, except in the [[Virtual Console]] versions of the game released on [[Wii U]] where all the World-e levels are available by default in all regions. |
