Coin Rush

Coin Rush is a mode in New Super Mario Bros. 2. It can only be played with one player. In this mode, the players, as Mario, must race through three random courses without losing one life, and while collecting as many coins as possible. Of course, the players still have access to all the coin-rewarding items from Solo Play mode, such as the Gold Block.

As the players progress in the game, they will be given a Gold Flower in the Item Stock (unless White Raccoon Mario mode is chosen, whereas the Item Stock will be empty), which can be used in only one of the three levels. By default, there are only 100 seconds on the time limit allowed per course; World 1-1 starts with 50 seconds. The players can boost their time limit by collecting + Clocks and making it past Checkpoint Flags.

As mentioned before, one single life loss ends the challenge, since the players cannot collect extra lives. Because of this, collecting 100 coins does not affect the players' life count, and all 1-Up Mushrooms are replaced by Golden Mushrooms, which give 50 coins (100 if collected by Gold Mario) 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 Tower or a Castle. There are three course packs, and more packs can be downloaded via paid downloadable content at the Nintendo eShop.

Items
* - Order of Star Coins collected in a single level.
