==History==
===''Super Mario Bros.''===
[[File:SMB NES World 2-1 Coin Heaven.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Bros.'', the first appearance of Bonus Stages]]
A '''Bonus Stage'''<ref>{{cite|author=Yamashita, Tatsumi|title=''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=999832369X|page=28}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=Spring 1991|title=''NES Game Atlas''|page=8|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> (also called the '''Sky Bonus'''<ref>{{cite|author=Tochikubo, Hiroo|title=''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=4-19-720003-XC|page=7}}</ref> or '''Cloud Bonus'''<ref>{{cite|author=Cain, Christine|title=''Super Mario Bros.

There [[Super Star (theme)|Invincible Mario theme]] is played in Coin Heaven, but ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version uses a unique theme for coin-filled subareas in general. The Challenge mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' has a 10,000-[[point]] "Perfect Bonus" for collecting every coin in Coin Heaven.

===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
The player character accesses Coin Heaven differently in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', by revealing and then [[jump]]ing from an invisible [[Super Note Block|Magic Note Block]]. Coin Heavens are auto-scrolling, unlike before, and the player character collects coins up to reaching a [[Warp Pipe]] that returns them to the main level. Certain Coin Heavens have a hidden [[Brick Block]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]], revealed by [[fly]]ing up to there as either [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]].{{ref needed}} The Coin Heaven is the same as in the sky portion of [[Sky Land]] and the [[Warp Zone]].

===''Super Mario World''===
The method of accessing Coin Heaven in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' is namely from riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] equipped with [[Yoshi's Wings]]. [[Dragon Coin]]s sometimes appear in Coin Heaven. Unlike before, reaching the end of Coin Heaven takes the player to the end of the level.

===''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries===
Beanstalks are used in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels to enter Coin Heaven, like in the first ''Super Mario Bros.'', though there is more layout variety for Coin Heavens. A [[Star Coin]] appears in several of the Coin Heavens. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' introduces the similar [[Rainbow Course]]s, unlockable in each world by ending a level with two digits of the [[Time Limit|timer]] matching the world number.

===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
Coin Heavens are accessible from a [[Super Note Block]] in several courses of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Most Coin Heavens are 2D sidescrolling and have a single [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Star]], allowing the player to defeat the five [[Biddybud]]s or [[Para-Biddybud]]s for a [[extra life|1-Up]]. Other Coin Heavens have several cloud platforms that scroll up, often starting with coins arranged to say "3D," since not having the 3D depth on shows an isometric view instead. There is a [[Star Medal]] at the end of a Coin Heaven.

===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===
Coin Heavens are entered through using [[Cloud Cannon]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Coin Heavens are similar to the previous game, except they are always laid out in a sidescrolling manner, starting with either a ? Block containing a Super Star or a [[Potted Piranha Plant]] for defeating the eight enemies along the way and lastly obtaining the [[Green Star]] at the end. ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' features Coin Heavens in a similar manner, except Mario can earn a [[Cat Shine]] by defeating every enemy there.

===''Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.''===
Occasionally in the digital clock for ''[[Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] can find a vine that leads to the Coin Heaven from [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]].

==Notes==
[[File:MRSOH_Coin_Heaven_mention.png|thumb|Beep-0 mentions Coin Heaven.]]
*The ''Super Mario Bros.'' version of Coin Heaven is duplicated in [[Floro Caverns|Chapter 5-3]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where the player could find a ladder within a ? Block leading into a similar area.
*[[Peach Blossom|Princess Peach's Final Smash]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] uses a sped-up version of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Coin Heaven theme.
*The portion of the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]]'s theme in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' right before it loops sounds similar to the Coin Heaven theme from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', on the planet [[Terra Flora]], [[Beep-0]] mentions that The Great Kowalczynski is in Coin Heaven.
