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 Coins 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 Flowers in the Yoshi's Island series, the Red Coins in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, and the Ace Coins and Advance Coins in the Super Mario Advance series. Later items of the same basic function known as Star Medals appear in Super Mario 3D Land, followed by the Green Stars in Super Mario 3D World; Comet Medals are also similar items found in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In Yoshi's Safari, 10-Coins 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.
