Template:Item-infobox Star Coins are collectibles found in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros Wii. Three Star Coins appear in each level where some are easy to collect, while others require special power-ups such as the Mini Mushroom or the Blue Shell to access.

In New Super Mario Bros. there are eighty levels, thus there are 240 Star Coins to find in the game. Each Star Coin adds 1,000 points to the player's game score.

They also appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, there are 231 Star Coins. Three Star Coins appear in each of the game's seventy-seven levels much like New Super Mario Bros. Also, it adds 4,000 points to the player's total score, instead of 1,000 like in its predecessor.

They will appear in the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D, with a octagonal shape, yellow edge, yellow star and with the white interior, similar to Comet Medals of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
