In ''Super Mario World'', at least five Dragon Coins appear in most [[level]]s, although places such as [[castle]]s, [[Ghost House]]s, and [[fortress]]es have no Dragon Coins. Collecting a Dragon Coins plays a unique sound effect, and it is also counted as one coin. The first four coins collected give 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 [[point]]s, respectively, and collecting all five in a level awards the player an [[extra life]]. [[Yoshi's Wings]] can be used to access certain auto-scrolling [[Coin Heaven]]s, where five Dragon Coins can be found. Six or more Dragon Coins may rarely appear in a level, with every Dragon Coin after the fifth also rewarding an extra life. In these levels, going through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a new area causes all remaining Dragon Coins to disappear if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has already collected at least five of them, making the remaining ones unobtainable. [[Chocolate Secret]] is unique for having only one Dragon Coin.
In ''Super Mario World'', there are at least five Dragon Coins littered around most levels; some levels, such as [[Castle]]s, [[Ghost House]]s, and [[Fortress]]es, have no Dragon Coins in the original SNES version). Collecting each one makes a unique sound effect, and it is also counted as one coin. The first four coins collected in the game give 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 points, respectively; collecting five of them awards the player an [[extra life]]. [[Yoshi's Wings]] can be used to access certain auto-scrolling [[Coin Heaven]]s where five Dragon Coins can be found.


For the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Game Boy Advance version]], Dragon Coins were given a slightly bigger role. They now appear in levels that did not originally have them, and the number of Dragon Coins acquired is recorded on a menu. If the player collects them all, a cutscene plays, showing all of the collected Dragon Coins falling from the sky and being stacked together; afterwards, a giant Dragon Coin appears, and [[Yoshi]] eats it and lays an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]], which hatches into a giant coin with [[Princess Peach]]'s face, resulting in all of the Dragon Coins in the game having Peach's face imprinted on them instead of Yoshi's. Chocolate Secret now has the standard set of five Dragon Coins. In the ''[[Nintendo Power#Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' guide for ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', the symbol for the Dragon Coins denoting where they are located in a level is drawn with a three-tined fork instead of Yoshi's or Peach's likeness.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 4|page=18|date=Winter 2002|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>
On rare occasions, one may encounter six or more Dragon Coins in a single level; every Dragon Coin after the fifth will also award an extra life. In these levels, going through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a new area causes all remaining Dragon Coins to disappear if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has already collected at least five of them, making the remaining ones unobtainable. [[Chocolate Secret]] is unique, as it contains only one Dragon Coin in the SNES version of ''Super Mario World'' for unknown reasons.


The Dragon Coin's collection sound effect was reused for the [[Advance Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Star Coin]]s in the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' games]], and the [[color coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the sound effect is internally labeled "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>."<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:New Super Mario Bros.#Sound Effects|New Super Mario Bros.#Sound Effects]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=February 18, 2019}}</ref>

===Other appearances===
In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Dragon Coins appear in the microgame [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]]. Collecting them is not necessary to complete the [[microgame]] and has no real effect on gameplay, although the "Dragon Coin Collection" [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! missions|mission]] requires the player to collect at least four Dragon Coins in all three levels while playing as [[Jimmy T]].
Dragon Coins were [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', but they were most likely replaced with [[Smiley Flower]]s, due to them being mechanically similar. The sprite for them was completely removed from the Game Boy Advance port, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''.

*''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' and every game of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] feature coins with a Yoshi's head on them rather than the normal coin design. The coins on the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' version of the course [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] also features this design, as the course is heavily inspired by ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The coins in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' feature a depiction of a [[Yoshi's Egg]] instead; however, the larger [[10-Coin|10 Coin]]s depict Yoshi's head, similar to Dragon Coins.
*Most of the games in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] such as ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' feature Coins with a Yoshi's head on them rather than the normal coin design. The Coins in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' feature a depiction of a [[Yoshi Egg]] instead; however, the larger [[10-Coin]]s depict Yoshi's head, similar to Dragon Coins.
*The [[Plessie Medal]]s found in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' bear similarities to Dragon Coins.
*In the ''Nintendo Power'' Advance Guide, the symbol for the Dragon Coins denoting where they are located in a level is drawn with a three-tined fork instead of Yoshi's or Peach's likeness.<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' #4, page 18.</ref>
*The sound effect for obtaining an [[Advance Coin]], [[Star Coin]], or [[color coin]] is the Dragon Coin sound effect from ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''.
**In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the same sound effect is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", further suggesting that they replaced Dragon Coins in the final game.<ref>https://tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects</ref>
