In ''Super Mario World'', points return as a largely aesthetic factor like the rest of the series. Running into enemies as [[Invincible Mario]] will now give points, and the first four [[Dragon Coin]]s in a level give 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 8,000 points, respectively. ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', in addition to the original game's score system, tracks the best scores for the [[Special Zone]]'s courses once they are all cleared. | In ''Super Mario World'', points return as a largely aesthetic factor like the rest of the series.

In ''Super Mario 3D World'', points reappear, though they serve a purpose only in multiplayer mode: The game keeps track of the points each player gains (though any points earned while riding [[Plessie]] are awarded to all players) and displays the totals at the end of each level, with the player with the most points getting a [[crown]] as a prize. This crown is worth 5,000 points if an active player wears it to the end of the next level, but it can be lost if the player who holds it gets hit by an enemy, and it can be stolen if another player [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]s the crowned character. If the crowned player grabs a [[Double Cherry]], only one instance of their character wears the crown. Unlike most other games, ''Super Mario 3D World'' simply tracks the highest score for each level, rather than having a running total throughout the game. | In ''Super Mario 3D World'', points reappear, though they serve a purpose only in multiplayer mode: The game keeps track of the points each player gains (though any points earned while riding [[Plessie]] are awarded to all players) and displays the totals at the end of each level, with the player with the most points getting a [[crown]] as a prize.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', points are used to [[level up]] the characters, replacing [[Star Point]]s from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. ''Super Paper Mario'' features [[Speed Flower]]s and [[Slow Flower]]s, which speed up or slow down gameplay, respectively, and also triple any points gained while the items are in effect. The game also subtracts points instead of giving extra lives when the point chain gets far enough; this is because the game has no extra life system. | In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', points are used to [[level up]] the characters, replacing [[Star Point]]s from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
