'''Advance Coins''',<ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 36.</ref><ref>Peterson, Erik. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide. Page 17.</ref> also known as '''Ace Coins'''<ref name=Prima>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 111.</ref> or '''A-Coins''',<ref name=Prima/> are special [[coin]]s that appear exclusively in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They appear only in the new [[World-e]] levels. They are similar to [[Ace Coin]]s in appearance, except yellow instead of red. Unlike Ace Coins, they spin before being collected.

Each [[level]] in World-e contains one to five Advance Coins. 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. There are 147 Advance Coins in total.

 

If the player accumulates 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, players using a non-Japanese version of the game can collect a maximum of only 49 Advance Coins and are therefore unable to enter the final two Toad Houses. However, the [[Virtual Console]] versions of the game released on the [[Wii U]] make all World-e levels available by default, avoiding this problem.
