Find all Super Mario Land Mystery Box locations and learn how to get Star Coins from Normal and Golden Boxes.

Mystery Boxes can be revisited daily, with randomized contents. Golden Boxes are a rarer variant containing two Star Coins and potentially 1-Ups, with no enemies to defeat. There are 20 unique Normal Mystery Boxes yielding one Star Coin each, and 15 unique Golden Mystery Boxes yielding two Star Coins each, totaling 50 Star Coins. StreetPass functionality allows for resetting Mystery Boxes, enabling theoretically infinite Star Coins up to a cap of 999.

Mystery Boxes are found in Worlds 1, 2, 4, and 6, as well as Special Worlds 1, 3, 5, and 7. Each box has a limited selection of possible contents.
