These sub-areas are loaded with [[coin]]s, which the player may or may not have the ability to completely collect, and generally put the player back into the main level after completion.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros.''===
[[File:SMB NES World 2-1 Coin Heaven.png|thumb|left|Bonus Stages first appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the '''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. Deluxe'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=16|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=1999|isbn=0-7615-2190-9}}</ref>) can be accessed when the player hits a [[block]] that holds a [[beanstalk]], which upon climbing up leads the player into the [[Cloud Block]]-filled area. The player then must ride along a moving cloud in order to reach all the coins before being dumped back onto the ground. In the original game, they use the [[Super Star (theme)|Invincible Mario theme]], while in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', they use a new composition also used for underground coin rooms.

[[File:SMBDX Coin Heaven Bonus.png|thumb|right|The player being awarded 10,000 points for collecting every coin in Challenge Mode on ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'']]In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' Challenge Mode, grabbing every coin in a Bonus Stage earns the player a 10,000-[[point]] "Perfect Bonus."

===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Coin Heaven is accessed differently in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. If the player finds an invisible [[Super Note Block|Magic Note Block]], the player can [[jump]] on it, sending them into Coin Heaven. In this version of Coin Heaven, the game automatically side-scrolls the player through and gives them a chance to collect all the coins before reaching the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] at the end, which sends them back to the ground. If the player is equipped with either the [[Super Leaf]] or the [[Tanooki Suit]], they could [[fly]] upward in some Coin Heavens and find a [[Brick Block]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] inside. However, since a Coin Level auto-scrolls, going to the left of the block can crush the player between it and the screen. The song used for Coin Heaven is also used for the sky portion of [[Sky Land]] as well as the [[Warp Zone]].

===''Super Mario World''===
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Coin Heaven is accessed in yet another way, namely by picking up [[Yoshi's Wings]] while riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. As in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the area auto-scrolls, though it does not have as many coins. However, it does have [[Dragon Coin]]s to make up for it. A major difference with other games is that completing a Coin Heaven sequence is counted as having reached the level's regular exit, thus putting the player back at the World Map and unlocking the path to the next level.

===''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries===
The ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series brings back beanstalks as the Coin Heaven access method. The Coin Heavens vary wildly in layout this time, unlike in previous games. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', an unlockable [[Rainbow Course]] also appears for every [[world]], should the last two digits of the [[Time Limit|timer]] match the world number upon the player clearing a course (with [[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]], [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Flower]], and [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]] treated as Worlds 7, 8, and 9, respectively). [[Star Coin]]s are commonly found in Coin Heaven.

===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
[[File:SM3DL 1-3.png|thumb|''Super Mario 3D Land'' is the first 3D ''Super Mario'' title where Coin Heavens appear]]
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', many courses contain Coin Heavens, each containing a [[Star Medal]] at the end. They can be accessed by jumping on a [[Super Note Block]]. The most common type scrolls sideways in a 2D fashion, with a single [[? Block]] that contains a [[Super Star]], which the player can use to defeat the five [[Biddybud]]s or [[Para-Biddybud]]s present and earn a [[extra life|1-Up]]. The other type of Coin Heaven has many cloud platforms scrolling up and often starts out with coins arranged in the shape of "3D." An isometric camera view is used to trick players who do not turn on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s 3D.

===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===
''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' has Coin Heavens accessed via [[Cloud Cannon]]s. They always have [[Green Star]]s at the end, like with Star Medals in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', and they are always side-scrolling. These areas have eight enemies rather than five, and either have a ? Block with a Super Star or have a [[Potted Piranha Plant]] that can be used to take out enemies. The Coin Heavens in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury#Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]'' are similar to those in the main game, but at the end, there are [[Cat Shine]]s instead, which appear only after all enemies in the Coin Heaven are defeated.

===''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]].

==Trivia==
[[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.
*The music that plays during [[Peach Blossom|Princess Peach's Final Smash]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] is a sped-up version of the Coin Heaven music from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
*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.
