'''Control Coins'''<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide.

If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], the coins become [[Empty Block]]s, similar to [[Snake Block|snake platform]]s, which Mario or Luigi can ride while still controlling the blocks. However, if the Control Coin touches a wall or obstacle, it stops moving and can no longer be controlled. The chain also stops if [[Yoshi]] eats the leading coin, which causes the switch's background music [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Eat Control Coin glitch|to play indefinitely]]. Control Coins also have a finite number of coins, after which it stops, but not in ''Super Mario World''.
If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], the coins become solid blocks, similar to [[Snake Block]]s, which Mario or Luigi can ride while still controlling the blocks. However, if the Control Coin touches a wall or obstacle, it will stop moving and can no longer be controlled. The chain will also stop if [[Yoshi]] eats the leading coin, which will cause the switch's background music [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Eat Control Coin glitch|to play indefinitely]]. Control Coins also have a finite number of coins, after which it will stop, but not in ''Super Mario World''.


In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a similar [[10-Coin|large coin]] appears in one of the rooms of the [[Sunken Ship]], but it moves independently on a predetermined path, leaving coins behind. However, these coins do not add to the player's coin total. If Mario can collect every single coin the Control Coin leaves behind, he earns another one of [[King Calamari]]'s clues. Similar coins also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' (and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]), and ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', though the player only gets applauded for collecting them all.
