About this conversion

Nintendo's Super Mario manuals grant 1-UP for every 100 coins, Super Mario World grants 1-UP for every 5 Dragon (Yoshi) Coins, and Mario Kart caps coins at 10 for top speed, so one 1-UP equals twenty Dragon Coins or ten Kart maximums.

Rates come from Nintendo's SMB manual (100 coins = 1-UP, each coin 200 points) and Nintendo UK's NSMB guide. 1 1-UP = 20.00x Dragon Coins (100/5), 1 Kart max = 2.00x Dragon Coins, making this converter a handy reference for coin-run planning, score math and everyday curiosity.

Units supported: Coins, Dragon Coins (5 per 1-UP), Kart max (10) and 1-UPs (100 coins).

Source note: Rates from Nintendo manuals — 100 coins = 1-UP (SMB), 5 Dragon Coins = 1-UP (SMW), 10-coin Kart cap.
