A Black Coin[1] is a type of color coin in Super Mario Run. Despite their name, they appear to be a dark pine green instead of black. They are the only set of color coins from the game with this distinction. Each course in the game, except for How to Play, Chase the Snaking Coins, and Piranha Plant Field, has five Black Coins. The player selects which kind of color coins appear in a given course before starting it, but they only gain the ability to select Black Coins for a course after the player has collected all five Pink and Purple color coins in that course.
As with all color coins, collecting a Black Coin is a stylish move, a Black Coin is not worth any coins upon collection but instead grants ten coins at the results screen of a course, and the player must collect all five Black Coins in a single run of a course in order mark them as completed. Doing so grants the player two Rally Tickets via a notification. Black Coins do not change their appearance if they have been collected in a prior run, unlike other similar items in the Super Mario series.
Black Coins are often positioned in hard-to-reach areas. The layout of a course becomes more difficult if Black Coins are appearing compared to any of the other color coins. invincible characters do not attract Black Coins to themselves, whereas they do attract Pink and Purple Coins. No further sets of color coins are seen after collecting all Black Coins in a course. Collecting every Black Coin in every course from World 1 to World 6, 120 Black Coins in all, unlocks the Black Coin Pipe. The pipe can be used to access the course Make the Cut!, which has no color coins other than Black Coins. The Black Coins in Make the Cut! are not saved by the game, and the player does not get two Rally Tickets for collecting all of them.
Black Coins in World ★ are tracked separately from Black Coins in Super Mario Run's other worlds. The game's menus list them under a ★Black Coins row. Collecting all 24 Black Coins in World ★ unlocks the Gold Star Pipe, which can be used to access the course Red Block Run. Red Block Run has an identical Black Coin situation to Make the Cut!
Scaredy Rat Race, a course in World ★, has a unique stipulation when Black Coins are set to appear: Its Time Limit is reduced from 90 seconds to ten seconds.
Black Coins do not appear in the Toad Rally or Remix 10 modes. However, the locations of Pink Coins in Toad Rally and Bonus Medals in Remix 10 sometimes correlate to the locations of Black Coins.
