'''Star Coins''' are recurring collectible items with a [[Super Star]] imprint. They first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Star Coins are based on [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', even reusing the corresponding sound effect for collecting one from ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some other similarly functioning items include the [[Smiley Flower]]s in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], the [[Red Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', and the [[Ace Coin]]s and [[Advance Coin]]s in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]]. Later items of the same basic function known as [[Star Medal]]s appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', followed by the [[Green Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; [[Comet Medal]]s are also similar items found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', [[10-Coin]]s are depicted as large circular coins with an imprint of a Super Star on each, 13 years before Star Coins themselves first appeared. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic coins of each color have an indentation of a star on each of them and are in fact referred to as "(color) Star Coins" in the Japanese manual, though this specification is lost in the English translation.

They are based on [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', even reusing the corresponding sound effect for collecting one from ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''.

Three Star Coins appear in every [[level]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Collecting one adds 1,000 [[point]]s to the player's score, though it is not registered until the level is complete. Some Star Coins may be hidden in areas that require power-ups such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]] to access or collect them. Any collected Star Coin is translucent if the level is replayed. The Touch Screen on the world map shows how many Star Coins have been collected. Five Star Coins are required to open each of the [[Star Coin Sign]]s blocking paths on the world map. After completing the game, the player can spend their Star Coins at the [[Toad House#Blue Toad House|Blue Toad House]] on one of five alternate Touch Screen backgrounds for 20 Star Coins each. Collecting all 240 Star Coins (owing to a total of eighty levels) adds a second star to the player's save file and displays "Complete" on the Touch Screen, next to the Star Coin counter; this message becomes "All Spent" once every Star Coin has been spent on Star Coin Signs and Touch Screen backgrounds.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', there are three Star Coins in each of the eighty levels for a total of 240 Star Coins. Collecting a Star Coin adds 1,000 [[point]]s to the player's score; some Star Coins may be hidden in areas that require power-ups such as the [[Mini Mushroom]] or the [[Blue Shell]] to access or collect them. In this game and subsequent appearances, collected Star Coins will show up as translucent on subsequent playthroughs of a level; a Star Coin does not count as collected until the player completes the level.


In the game's data, the collection sound effect is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", which suggests that they are inspired from [[Dragon Coin]]s.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' § Sound Effects|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=February 18, 2019}}</ref>
On the world map, the Touch Screen will display the total amount of Star Coins collected. Star Coins are used to open paths blocked by [[Star Coin Signs]] on the world map; each sign costs 5 Star Coins to open and allows the player to access [[Toad House]]s or additional levels, which are represented with letters (e.g. [[World 1-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-A]] or [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]]).
 
After completing the game at least once, a Blue Toad House will appear north of [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]] that sells 5 bonus Touch Screen backgrounds for 20 Star Coins each; the 5th background can be unlocked by opening every Toad House or spending all the Star Coins after collecting them. Collecting all 240 Star Coins will reward the player with a second star next to their save file, and "Complete" will appear on the Touch Screen next to the Star Coin counter; spending all the Star Coins will result in an "All Spent" message appearing next to the Star Coin symbol on the world map.
 
In the game's data, the collection sound effect is labelled as "<tt>SE_OBJ_GET_DRAGON_COIN</tt>", suggesting that they replaced Dragon Coins in the final game.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros.#Sound_Effects New Super Mario Bros. § Sound Effects].

Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They have a higher value of 4,000 points, and there is now an uneven total of 231 Star Coins. An applause track plays whenever all three Star Coins are obtained during a level.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/ACxiwDmZ8qw?feature=shared&t=187|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' - World 1 (Complete)|author=Mario Party Legacy|language=en|publisher=YouTube|date=February 5, 2017|timestamp=03:07}}</ref> Star Coins can be optionally used to buy [[hint movies]] at [[Peach's Castle]]. Collecting every Star Coin in a [[world]] unlocks a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] of the corresponding number, such as how every Star Coin in [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] unlocks [[World 9-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|9-1]]). Collecting every Star Coin in World 9 and previous worlds adds a star on the File Select Screen.
Star Coins also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Collecting one now adds 4,000 points to the player's total score. If the player collects all three Star Coins in a level, applause can be heard.
 
There are 231 Star Coins in total; collecting all Star Coins in a world will unlock a level in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] corresponding to that world number's (e.g. collecting all the Star Coins in World 1 will unlock [[World 9-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|9-1]]). Collecting all the Star Coins in the game, including the ones in World 9, will reward the player with a star on the File Select Screen. Star Coins can also optionally be used to buy [[hint movies]] at [[Peach's Castle]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Like the first game, the Star Coins can be used to open Star Coin Signs on the world map, unlocking Toad Houses and additional levels. There is still an uneven number of 219 Star Coins. In [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], 90 Star Coins must be collected in order to access the actual levels.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], 90 Star Coins must be collected in order to access the actual levels. There is also a Yellow Toad House behind a Star Coin Sign that only appears after all Star Coins have been collected, and requires nine Star Coins to open. World Star itself does not have any Star Coins, but instead has similar [[Moon Coins]]; they cannot be spent, but count towards collecting all the Star Coins, and collecting all Moon Coins also rewards the player with a star on the File Select screen.

[[File:NSMBU Star Coin Render.png|frame|right]]
Star Coins return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. A total of 246 Star Coins appear. Star Coins have a similar role as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', to the extent that collecting every Star Coin in a world unlocks a certain level in [[Superstar Road]].
Star Coins appear once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they serve the same purpose as ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''; collecting all the Star Coins in each world unlocks a corresponding level in [[Superstar Road]], similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. There are a total of 246 Star Coins in the game.

Star Coins are items in the [[Golf Plus]] event of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. They score the event and decide the winner. Star Coins are earned in most holes by getting the ball into the hole in the fewest shots. Star Coins can also be earned by hitting [[? Block]]s, which produce a random number of them that can be scored by reaching the hole in under the number of shots allowed for the hole.
