Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)

Pink Coins are a kind of coin added to Super Mario Maker through a software update released on March 9, 2016. It can be produced by shaking a coin when editing a level. They are similar in appearance to Red Coins, and share a similar sound effect when obtained as well. If Mario collects all the Pink Coins in the level, a key will appear, which can be used to unlock a locked door. A maximum of five Pink Coins can be placed in the main level, in addition to another maximum of five in the sub-level, for a maximum of ten in the entire level. All Pink Coins are part of the same collection and all go towards one key, even if two sets of coins are put into both the main and sub-level.

Pink Coins return in Super Mario Run, where they instead serve as collectibles for the player to collect. If the player collects all five Pink Coins in a level, they can then start collecting Purple Coins in said level.
