'''Ace Coins'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance'' instruction booklet, page 27.</ref> are special [[coin]]s that first appear in the ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remake of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Ace Coins are large, red, and sport an "A," and are named "Ace Coins" because a player needs to collect all five of these coins in order to completely beat, or "ace," the level. If a player finds all five Ace Coins in this level, the player will obtain an [[extra life]]. However, Ace Coins are somewhat difficult to obtain, even risking the characters' lives for them. If the player plays through the level again, all collected Ace Coins will be transparent. Collecting them again still awards points, but they are not added to the running total. These coins are very similar to the [[Dragon Coin]]s, and similar but differently-colored coins known as [[Advance Coin]]s appear in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

}} Ace Coins[1] are special coins that appear in Super Mario Advance. Each Ace Coin is large and red and sports an A. Ace Coins could be named because the player needs to collect all five within a level to beat, or "ace," it. While playing a level, when the player obtains all five Ace Coins, the player earns an extra life. Ace Coins are often in areas that require some effort to access. If the player replays a level, any Ace Coins that they have collected are transparent, and collecting them again still awards points but does not contribute to the overall total.

Ace Coins are comparable to Dragon Coins from Super Mario World as well as the Advance Coins in World-e of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
