Pink Coins are the first kind of color coins in Super Mario Run. Each course in the game, except for Chase the Snaking Coins, and Piranha Plant Field, Make the Cut!, and Red Block Run, has five Pink Coins. The player selects which kind of color coins appear in a given course before starting it. As with all color coins, collecting a Pink Coin is a stylish move, a Pink 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 Pink 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. Pink Coins do not change their appearance if they have been collected in a prior run, unlike other similar items in the Super Mario series.
Pink Coins are placed such that they are the easiest of the color coins to collect. Collecting every Pink Coin in a course unlocks the ability to make Purple Coins appear in that course. Collecting every Pink Coin in every course from World 1 to World 6, 120 Pink Coins in all, unlocks the Pink Coin Pipe. The pipe can be used to access the course Chase the Snaking Coins, which has no color coins other than Pink Coins. The Pink Coins in Chase the Snaking Coins are not saved by the game, and the player does not get two Rally Tickets for collecting all of them. The Pink Coins in How to Play, the game's tutorial course, are similarly not saved.
Pink Coins in World ★ are tracked separately from Pink Coins in Super Mario Run's other worlds. The game's menus list them under a ★Pink Coins row.
Pink Coins are also present in the Toad Rally mode, where in addition to their normal appearances they replace Purple Coins and Black Coins in segments based on the layouts of courses when Purple and Black Coins are present. Collecting a Pink Coin causes a Toad to start cheering for the player, in addition to being a stylish move and thus contributing to starting a Coin Rush.
During the event from December 20, 2023 to March 15, 2024 promoting Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the event from March 5 to April 3, 2026 promoting Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, when Coin Rush was activated by a Wonder Flower in Toad Rally, all Pink Coins were replaced by flower coins.
Pink Coins do not appear in the Remix 10 mode. However, the locations of that mode's Bonus Medals sometimes correlate to the locations of Pink Coins.
