'''Control Coins'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=August 1991|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=68, 69, 72|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are items in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They are [[coin]]s that are usually released from certain [[? Block]]s called '''Control Blocks'''.<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|page=155}}</ref> Control Coins travel in whichever direction is held on {{button|snes|Pad}}. Control Coins appear in the [[Donut Ghost House]], [[Donut Secret 2]], the [[Valley Ghost House]], and [[Star World 5]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], the coins become [[Empty Block]]s, similarly to [[Snake Block|snake platform]]s, which Mario or Luigi can ride while still controlling the blocks. However, if the Control Coin touches a wall or obstacle, it stops moving and cannot be controlled any longer, the latter also being the case if [[Yoshi]] eats the leading coin, causing the switch's background music [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Eat Control Coin glitch|to play indefinitely]]. Control Coins also appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though only in the [[World-e]] levels [[Doors o' Plenty]] and [[Vexing Doors]], serving the same purpose as in ''Super Mario World''.
'''Coin Snakes''' are types of moving [[Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. They are usually released from certain [[? Block]]s, and they move to the direction the player presses on the D-Pad (directional buttons) on the controller or [[Game Boy Advance]]. They are found in stages such as [[Donut Ghost House]], [[Donut Secret 2]], [[Valley Ghost House]] and [[Star World 5]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P-Switch]], the Coin Snake will become solid blocks, similar to [[Snake Block]]s, which Mario or Luigi can ride and control the blocks at the same time. However, if the Coin Snake or Coin Snake blocks touch a wall or obstacle, they will stop moving and can no longer be controlled. Coin Snakes also appear in the [[World-e]] level [[Doors o' Plenty]] from ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' where they serve the same purpose.


In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a similar [[10-Coin|large coin]] appears in one of the rooms of the [[Sunken Ship]], but it moves independently on a predetermined path, leaving coins behind. However, these coins do not add to the player's coin total. If Mario can collect every single coin the Control Coin leaves behind, he earns another one of [[King Calamari]]'s clues. Similar coins also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' (and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]), and ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', though the player only gets applauded for collecting them all.
They return in Super Mario 3D Land where they are no longer controlled by the player, but move in their own paths. Coin Snakes are sometimes triggered when the player grabs a coin. That coin is sometimes hidden.
