Mid-Point Bell
A bell from Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins.
Bonus bell

Bells[1] are objects in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins that serve two purposes. One type of bell, also known as a Mid-Point Bell[2] or midway bell,[3] can be found in the stage that acts as a checkpoint if the player loses a life. Another type of bell, also known as a bonus bell,[2] hangs above the stage's goal exit, sports a pair of eyes, and cannot be reached without the aid of platforms and other objects. When Mario rings this bell, he plays a bonus game where he can get power-ups or extra lives before leaving the stage. They work similarly to the high door in Super Mario Land.
