'''Ace Coins'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance'' instruction booklet, page 27.</ref> are large, red [[coin]]s with an "A" engraved on them. They only appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', as the successor to the [[Red Coin]]s from the Challenge mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''.


Five Ace Coins appear in every level, and the player is required to obtain them to fully complete, or "ace", the level. There are 100 Ace Coins in total. When the player collect every Ace Coin in a level, they get an [[extra life]]. Ace Coins are often near where the player gets injured or loses a life. Whenever a player replays a level, every collected Ace Coin becomes transparent and only rewards points when collected. If the player gets a [[Game Over]] in a level that they have not completed, they lose every collected Ace Coin from their progress.
Ace Coins are comparable to [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as well as the [[Advance Coin]]s in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.


Ace Coins act very similarly to the [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', 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.
