The Challenge mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' has a 10,000-[[point]] "Perfect Bonus" for collecting every coin in Coin Heaven.


In ''Super Mario Bros.'', Coin Heaven can be accessed when the player hits a [[? Block]] that holds a [[Beanstalk|Vine]], which upon climbing up leads the player into the area. The [[player]] then must ride along a moving cloud in order to reach all the coins before being dumped  back onto the ground.
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
The player character accesses Coin Heaven differently in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', by revealing and then [[jump]]ing from an invisible [[Super Note Block|Magic Note Block]]. Coin Heavens are auto-scrolling, unlike before, and the player character collects coins up to reaching a [[Warp Pipe]] that returns them to the main level. Certain Coin Heavens have a hidden [[Brick Block]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]], revealed by [[fly]]ing up to there as either [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]].{{ref needed}} The Coin Heaven is the same as in the sky portion of [[Sky Land]] and the [[Warp Zone]].

===''Super Mario World''===
[[File:SM3DL 1-3.jpg|thumb|left|Mario in '''Coin Heaven''' in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
The method of accessing Coin Heaven in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' is namely from riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] equipped with [[Yoshi's Wings]]. [[Dragon Coin]]s sometimes appear in Coin Heaven. Unlike before, reaching the end of Coin Heaven takes the player to the end of the level.


Coin Heaven is accessed differently in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. If the player finds an invisible pink [[Jump Block|♩ Block]], the player can jump on and be propelled upward with great force, throwing him or her into Coin Heaven. In this version of Coin Heaven, the game will automatically side-scroll the player through and give him a chance to collect all the coins before reaching the pipe at the end, which will send him back to the ground. If the player is equipped with either the [[Super Leaf]] or the [[Tanooki Suit]] he could sometimes fly upward and find a ? Block with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] inside. However, he must be careful: since it's auto-scrolling, going to the left of it can crush Mario or Luigi.
===''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries===
Beanstalks are used in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels to enter Coin Heaven, like in the first ''Super Mario Bros.'', though there is more layout variety for Coin Heavens. A [[Star Coin]] appears in several of the Coin Heavens. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' introduces the similar [[Rainbow Course]]s, unlockable in each world by ending a level with two digits of the [[Time Limit|timer]] matching the world number.


In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', many worlds contain Coin Heavens, which contain a [[Star Coin|Star Medal]] at the end. They can be accessed by jumping on a rainbow colored Jump Block. There are two distinct types of Coin Heavens. The most common type scrolls sideways and there is always is a single ? Block that contains an [[Invincibility 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 3D.
===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
Coin Heavens are accessible from a [[Super Note Block]] in several courses of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Most Coin Heavens are 2D sidescrolling and have a single [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Star]], allowing the player to defeat the five [[Biddybud]]s or [[Para-Biddybud]]s for a [[extra life|1-Up]]. Other Coin Heavens have several cloud platforms that scroll up, often starting with coins arranged to say "3D," since not having the 3D depth on shows an isometric view instead. There is a [[Star Medal]] at the end of a Coin Heaven.


In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', a unlockable Coin Heaven course, [[Rainbow World]] also appears for every world.
===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===
<br clear=all>
Coin Heavens are entered through using [[Cloud Cannon]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Coin Heavens are similar to the previous game, except they are always laid out in a sidescrolling manner, starting with either a ? Block containing a Super Star or a [[Potted Piranha Plant]] for defeating the eight enemies along the way and lastly obtaining the [[Green Star]] at the end. ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' features Coin Heavens in a similar manner, except Mario can earn a [[Cat Shine]] by defeating every enemy there.


==Trivia==
===''Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.''===
*The ''Super Mario Bros.'' version of Coin Heaven is duplicated in Chapter 5-3 of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where the player could find a ladder within a ? Block leading into a similar area.
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]].
*[[Princess Peach#Peach Blossom|Princess Peach's Final Smash]] uses a sped-up version of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Coin Heaven theme.
