Hidden Coins[1] (also known as Dash Coins)[2] are a special type of coin in the Super Mario series. Hidden Coins are somewhat rare, and they appear in only a few levels.
Hidden Coins first appear as outlines of coins; if a character passes through the outlines, they will then turn into regular coins after a moment.
Hidden Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros. with a new behavior. The coins appear with a quieter sound effect once passed through.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]

Hidden Coins appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and act the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Hidden Coins also appear more often in Coin Battle levels.
In Super Mario Run, Hidden Coins make their first appearance in Ghost-Door Deception. This time, they appear more commonly than in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Touching one can reveal a regular coin, a Pink Coin, a Purple Coin, or a Black Coin, depending on the level.
Super Mario Odyssey[]
In Super Mario Odyssey, Hidden Coins return, working as they do in Super Mario 3D World. They are often placed in areas that are hard to get to without using the Cap Throw. However, they can be seen if a Moe-Eye is captured.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[]
Hidden coins return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, acting the same as in previous games. Some can also be found as flowers.
Hidden Coins make an appearance in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. These coins are invisible until the player uses Beep-0's Scan Power in certain areas to make them appear.
