Control Coins[1] are items in Super Mario World and its reissue. They are coins that are usually released from certain ? Blocks called Control Blocks.[2] Control Coins travel in whichever direction is held on 
. Control Coins appear in the Donut Ghost House, Donut Secret 2, the Valley Ghost House, and Star World 5. If Mario or Luigi hits a Switch Block, the coins become Empty Blocks, similarly to snake platforms, which Mario or Luigi can ride while still controlling the blocks. However, if the Control Coin touches a wall or obstacle, it stops moving and cannot be controlled any longer, the latter also being the case if Yoshi eats the leading coin, causing the switch's background music to play indefinitely. Control Coins also appear in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, though only in the World-e levels Doors o' Plenty and Vexing Doors, serving the same purpose as in Super Mario World.
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a similar large coin appears in one of the rooms of the Sunken Ship, but it moves independently on a predetermined path, leaving coins behind. However, these coins do not add to the player's coin total. If Mario can collect every single coin the Control Coin leaves behind, he earns another one of King Calamari's clues. Similar coins also appear in Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World (and its port), and Super Mario Run, though the player only gets applauded for collecting them all.
