In each of its appearances, Coin Heaven is secretly located in the sky in several levels, accessed through a hidden item or secret path. It is loaded with [[coin]]s, which the player may or may not have the ability to completely collect, and generally puts the player back into the main level after completion.

Page 16.</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 ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' Challenge Mode, grabbing every coin in a Bonus Stage will earn the player a 10,000 point "Perfect Bonus".

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 will automatically side-scroll the player through and give them a chance to collect all the coins before reaching the pipe at the end, which will send 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 it's auto-scrolling, 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]].

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 autoscrolls, though they do not have as many coins. However, they do 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.

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

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', many courses contain Coin Heavens, which contain 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 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 on.

''[[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 have either a ? Block with a Super Star or 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 only appear after all enemies in the Coin Heaven are defeated.

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==

*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 [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] uses a sped-up version of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Coin Heaven theme.
