Coin Rush

Coin Rush is a mode in New Super Mario Bros. 2. It can only be played by one player. In it, the player, as Mario, must race through three random courses without losing one life and while collecting as many coins as possible. Of course, the player still has access to all the coin-boosting items from the story mode, like the Gold Block. However, by default, there are only 100 seconds allowed per course. The player can boost their time limit by collecting + Clocks and making it past Checkpoint Flags. As mentioned before, one single death means Game Over, since the player cannot collect extra lives. Because of this, collecting 100 coins does not affect the player's life count, and all 1-Up Mushrooms are replaced by Golden Mushrooms, which give 50 coins each. Mario's remaining time will also be converted into coins (1 coin for every 5 remaining seconds). The third random course will always be a Fortress or a Castle. There are three course packs, and more packs can be downloaded via paid downloadable content on the Nintendo eShop.

Coin values

 * Refers to how many collected in a single level, collecting star coins in a level won't increase how many coins the player get for collecting star coins in the next level.


 * In a row means: bouncing on enemies without touching the ground, or hitting enemies with a single koopa shell, or having enemies in the explosion of a golden fireball.


 * The amount of coins earned from grabbing the flagpole as Gold Mario depends on the height the player grabbed it at (higher means more coins).
