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 throughout the game. When the player collects all five Ace Coins in a level, they get an [[extra life]]. Ace Coins are often near where the player is likely to get injured or lose 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 that level.

Effect Collecting all five in level fully completes it and earns the player an extra life

Ace Coins[1] are special coins that first appear in the Super Mario Advance remake of Super Mario Bros. 2. Ace Coins are large, red, and sport 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, they earn 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 very similar to the Dragon Coins, and similar but differently-colored coins known as Advance Coins appear in World-e of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
