Not to be confused with Colored coin.

A color coin,[1] also known as a Colored Coin[2] or Challenge Coin,[3] is a special type of Star Coin that is found in Super Mario Run. There are three types of color coins: the Pink Coin, the Purple Coin, and the Black Coin. Each course in the World Tour mode has five of each coin. (The tutorial, How to Play, only has Pink Coins). However, the colors of coins do not coexist. Each course has a layout for Pink Coins, a more difficult layout for Purple Coins, and a even more difficult layout for Black Coins. The layout is selected before entering the course, but at first they only have access to the Pink Coins. When the player gets all coins of a type in a course, the icon for that coin is displayed with a crown. The first time the player collects all the Pink Coins in a course in a single run, that course's Purple Coins are unlocked. The same is true for the collection of Purple Coins, unlocking Black Coins.

Each color coin is worth ten coins, which are only added to the coin counter during the results screen. After the first time the player collects all five of the same color coin in a single run, the player is rewarded with two Rally Tickets. Collecting all the Pink Coins in World Tour mode allows the player to purchase the Pink Coin Pipe from the Shop in Kingdom Builder mode and place them in the Mushroom Kingdom. This pipe can be interacted with to access the Special Course Chase the Snaking Coins. The same is true for collecting all of the Purple Coins and Black Coins, which unlocks the Purple Coin Pipe and Black Coin Pipe which unlocks the Special Courses Piranha Plant Field and Make the Cut!, respectively. How to Play's Pink Coins are excluded from this total. Each Special Course only has the type of coin that was used to unlock the pipe, and these coins are also excluded from the total.

Courses in World Star contain identical coins under different names: ★Pink Coins, ★Purple Coins, and ★Black Coins. These coins are tracked separately from their non-Star counterparts. For collecting every ★Black Coin, which requires collecting all of ★Pink and ★Purple Coins to unlock the ★Black Coins, the player is allowed to purchase the Gold Star Pipe. This pipe can be interacted with to access the course Red Block Run, which in turn has a set of ★Black Coins that are not tracked. (These coins may actually be regular Black Coins.)

Pink Coins are in Toad Rally courses, often in similar positions as the color coins are in World Tour courses. Collecting a Pink Coin causes a Toad to cheer for the player and contributes to starting or maintaining a Coin Rush. Additionally, the Pink Coins each player collected are visible in the during the screen where the runs are judged.

Color coins do not appear in Remix 10. However, the locations of that mode's Bonus Medals sometimes correlate to the locations of color coins.
