Mario in Coin Heaven.

Coin Heaven is a bonus area found in the games Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, Super Mario World for the SNES, New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii for the Wii.

Mario in Coin Heaven in New Super Mario Bros.

In all games, Coin Heaven is secretly located in the sky in several levels, accessed through a hidden item. It is loaded with coins, which the player may or may not have the ability to completely collect, and puts the player back into the main game after completing.

Super Mario Bros. 3's version of Coin Heaven.

In Super Mario Bros., Coin Heaven can be accessed when the player hits a ? Block that holds a Vine, which upon climbing up leads the player into the area. The player then must ride along a moving cloud in order to reach all the coins before being dumped back onto the ground.

Coin Heaven is accessed differently in Super Mario Bros. 3. If the player finds an invisible pink ♩ Block, the player can jump on and be propelled upward with great force, throwing him or her into Coin Heaven. In this version of Coin Heaven, the game will automatically side-scroll the player through and give him a chance to collect all the coins before reaching the pipe at the end, which will send him back to the ground. If the player is equipped with either the Super Leaf or the Tanooki Suit he could fly upward and find a ? Block with a 1-Up Mushroom inside.

Trivia

• The Super Mario Bros. version of Coin Heaven is duplicated in Chapter 5-3 of Super Paper Mario, where the player could find a ladder within a ? Block leading into a similar area.
• The song that plays in Coin Heaven is reused in Princess Peach's Final Smash, but it's a sped up version of it.
