Looking for the New Super Mario Bros U Star Coins? Our New Super Mario Bros U Star Coins locations guide for the Nintendo Wii U game will show you the locations of all 246 big hidden coins. All Star Coins are spread throughout the 82 levels, 3 Star Coins per level, and give the game more replay value for those players willing to hunt them down to unlock alternate paths and a new 9th World on the world map.
After the first 8 Worlds are finished, you unlock World 9: Superstar Road. Collecting every Star Coin in each of the Worlds 1 to 8, will in turn for each World where this is done unlock one of the 8 levels in World 9. Where in turn you can collect 3 more Star Coins in each level.
Here’s an introduction to collecting Star Coins with the Wii U GamePad:
Note: This Star Coins hunt is worth the effort, because collecting all of them in each of the 8 initial Worlds makes sure you can unlock the paths to the overworld levels and mushroom houses! That makes this collectible a requirement to get 100% completion in New Super Mario Bros. U!
