'''Coin Boxes''', formerly known as '''? Boxes''',<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 9.</ref><ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 15.</ref> are objects introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Players that use them will receive a great but limited number of [[coin]]s as they move.

In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', ? Boxes are only found in [[World 8-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8-1]], [[World 8-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8-4]] and [[Special 1-3]]. They look just like [[? Block]]s. Like [[Propeller Box]]es, ? Boxes are worn by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] on their head, and do not let them throw [[fireball]]s or [[boomerang]]s, or turn into [[Statue Mario|a statue]]. It cannot be taken off unless they hit an enemy. If Mario makes it to the [[Goal Pole]] with the ? Box, it disappears and gives an [[extra life]]. While wearing a ? Box, Mario will gain [[coin]]s while he moves.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', similar objects known as [[Gold Block]]s appear, which are usually revealed by hitting [[Coin Block]]s enough times, and give Mario coins at a much faster rate than the ? Boxes. Unlike ? Boxes, however, a Gold Block will disappear once 100 coins have been collected from it.

Coin Boxes reappear exclusively under their current name in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of [[Mario|Mario (Hakama)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Vacation)]], [[Pink Gold Peach]], [[Pauline|Pauline (Party Time)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Swimwear)]], [[Mario|Mario (Tuxedo)]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Gold Egg)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Thai Dress)]], [[Mario|Mario (King)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Gold Knight)]], [[Roving Racers|Gold Koopa (Freerunning)]], [[Dry Bones|Dry Bones (Gold)]], [[King Boo|King Boo (Gold)]], [[Bowser|Bowser (Santa)]], [[King Bob-omb|King Bob-omb (Gold)]], [[Kamek]], [[Meowser]], [[Chargin' Chuck|Chargin' Chuck (Gold)]], [[Petey Piranha|Petey Piranha (Gold)]], [[Larry Koopa|Larry (Wintertime)]], [[Wiggler|Wiggler (Gold)]], the [[Mii|Gold and ? Block Mii Racing Suits]], and [[Gold Mario]] exclusively in Coin Rush during the [[Valentine's Tour]]. They widely spew 40 coins onto the track when used. During a Coin Box [[Frenzy]], coins surround the player. When Coin Box+ is active, it will additionally spray [[Red Coin]]s out as well. When the racer collects a Red Coin, it is treated like two coins. Coin Boxes received a minor redesign in that their edges and corners are more flat rather than rounded, and the holes in their sides' corners are absent. It is also the special skill of the most drivers, with a total of 22 drivers or 23 drivers if Gold Mario is counted.
