Advance Coin

Advance Coins are special coins that appear exclusively in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They appear only in the new World-e levels. They are similar to Ace Coins in appearance, except that they are yellow.

Levels have anywhere from 1 to 5 Advance Coins in them. If Mario or Luigi collects all the Advance Coins in a level, they will earn an extra life.

If the player accumulates enough Advance Coins, they can enter a special World-e Toad House where they can play a special minigame. However, because a limited number of levels were released outside of Japan, non-Japanese gamers will be unable to gather enough Advance Coins needed to enter the other two Toad Houses.
