Hidden Coin

Hidden Coins[1] (also known as Dash Coins)[2] are a special type of coin in the Super Mario series. Hidden Coins are somewhat rare, and they appear in only a few levels.
Hidden Coins first appear as outlines of coins; if a character passes through the outlines, they will then turn into regular coins after a moment.
History[edit]
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]
Hidden Coins debut in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Here, they act as a coin version of Dotted Line Blocks, appearing temporarily when a switch is pressed and changing back when it wears off.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Hidden Coins also appear in Yoshi's New Island, where they behave like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
Hidden Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros. with a new behavior. The coins appear with a quieter sound effect once passed through.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Hidden Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and act the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Hidden Coins also appear more often in Coin Battle levels.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Hidden Coins also appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, acting the same as in previous games.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Hidden Coins return in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, behaving the same as in the previous games.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

In Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Hidden Coins are transparent, and they can be briefly revealed by a Ground Pound, or by touching the screen or blowing into the Wii U GamePad's microphone, like Hidden Blocks. Hidden Coins are sometimes found on top of ? Blocks, where they are collected when the player hits the ? Blocks.
Super Mario Run[edit]
In Super Mario Run, Hidden Coins make their first appearance in Ghost-Door Deception. This time, they appear more commonly than in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Touching one can reveal a regular coin, a Pink Coin, a Purple Coin, or a Black Coin, depending on the level.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
In Super Mario Odyssey, Hidden Coins return, working as they do in Super Mario 3D World. They are often placed in areas that are hard to get to without using the Cap Throw. However, they can be seen if a Moe-Eye is captured.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]
Hidden Coins also appear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports, where they behave like in Super Mario 3D World.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]
Hidden Coins make an appearance in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. These coins are invisible until the player uses Beep-0's Scan Power in certain areas to make them appear.
