Coin Rush

Mario in World 6-A in Coin Rush mode.

Coin Rush is a mode in New Super Mario Bros. 2. It can only be played with one player. In this mode, the player, as Mario, must race through three random courses without losing one life and while collecting as many coins as possible. Of course, the player still has access to all the coin-rewarding items from Solo Play mode, such as the Gold Block. As the player progresses in the game, they will be given a Gold Flower in the Item Stock (unless White Raccoon Mario mode is chosen, whereas the Item Stock will be empty), which can be used in only one of the three levels. By default, there are only 100 seconds in the time limit allowed per course. The player can boost their time limit by collecting + Clocks and making it past Checkpoint Flags. As mentioned before, one single death ends the challenge, since the player cannot collect extra lives. Because of this, collecting 100 coins does not affect the player's life count, and all 1-Up Mushrooms are replaced by Golden Mushrooms, which give 50 coins (100 if collected by Gold Mario) each. Mario's remaining time will also be converted into coins (1 coin for every 5 remaining seconds). The third random course will always be a Fortress or a Castle. There are three course packs, and more packs can be downloaded via paid downloadable content on the Nintendo eShop.
