Advance Coins,[1] [2] also known as Ace Coins[3] or A-Coins,[3] are items in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 . These coins appear only in the World-e levels. Advance Coins are similar to Ace Coins in appearance, except yellow instead of red. Unlike Ace Coins, they spin before being collected. One to five Advance Coins are in every level, and there are 147 Advance Coins in total. If Mario or Luigi collects all the Advance Coins in a level, he earns an extra life, similar to the functionality of Dragon Coins or Ace Coins. If the player gets enough Advance Coins, they can enter any of three special World-e Toad's Houses, where they can play an exclusive mini-game. The player must collect 30 Advance Coins to access the Blue Mushroom House, 50 for the Red Mushroom House, and 80 for the Orange Mushroom House. Because a limited number of levels was released outside Japan, international players can collect up to 49 Advance Coins, making them unable to enter the final two Toad's Houses. However, the game's Wii U and Nintendo Switch [4] releases make all World-e levels available by default, avoiding this problem.
