'''Control Coins'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=August 1991|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=68, 69, 72|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are items in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They are [[coin]]s that are usually released from certain [[? Block]]s called '''Control Blocks'''.<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|page=155}}</ref> Control Coins travel in whichever direction is held on {{button|snes|Pad}}. Control Coins appear in the [[Donut Ghost House]], [[Donut Secret 2]], the [[Valley Ghost House]], and [[Star World 5]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], the coins become [[Empty Block]]s (similarly 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, the coin stops moving and cannot be controlled any longer, the latter also being the case if [[Yoshi]] eats the leading coin, causing the switch's background music [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Eat Control Coin glitch|to play indefinitely]]. Control Coins also appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though only in the [[World-e]] levels [[Doors o' Plenty]] and [[Vexing Doors]], serving the same purpose as 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.
