'''Star Coins''' are recurring collectibles introduced in the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], large coins with a [[Super Star]] imprint. They are based on [[Dragon Coin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', even reusing the corresponding sound effect for collecting one from ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some other similarly functioning items include the [[Smiley Flower]]s in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], the [[Red Coin]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the [[Ace Coin]]s and [[Advance Coin]]s in the ''Super Mario Advance'' games. Later items of the same basic function known as [[Star Medal]]s appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', followed by the [[Green Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; [[Comet Medal]]s are also similar items found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', [[10-Coin]]s are depicted as large, circular coins with an imprint of a [[Super Star]], 13 years before Star Coins themselves first appeared. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic coins of each color have an indentation of a star on them and are in fact referred to as "(color) Star Coins" in the Japanese manual, though this specification is lost in the English translation. | '''Star Coins''' are recurring collectibles introduced in the [[New Super Mario Bros.
