Can I Beat Super Mario Bros. 3 Without Collecting Any Coins??

[@ItsmeAz]

Cool idea, I'm currently doing a no coin run in real life right now.

[@Oakshield2]

You and half the country. Plenty of those are doing the growing negative coin run.

[@Blernster]

This is my favourite KZbin comment

[@RvP6384]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@worndoubloon1175]

Bills only will be tough, but you can do it. Remember to never accept change.

[@BenutzerWalter]

​@@worndoubloon1175 what do you even mean by that

[@Bakamoichigei]

I say this without a shred of irony or jest; This is a fascinating look at the context sensitivity of knowledge. I think we can all agree that MFP is one of the all-time top SMB3 players and probably knows more about the ins and outs of the game than the developers _remember_ at this point... But the instant he has to drastically change the context of how he _applies_ this hard-earned knowledge and practice, it's the Gandalf "I have no memory of this place..." meme.

[@Yakushii]

36:35 - CDiArcade: "tanooki suit down one of those pipes" THIS GUY RIGHT HERE OFFICER! GET HIM! AND REWARD HIM!

[@sorenallen]

5:18 The perfect timing of the music when he grabs the goal is incredible

[@noneofyoubusiness4895]

What a crazy run, he skilfully avoids all of the difficult coins (the ones where you think - how could he possibly manage that) but then picks up loads through stupid mistakes ... He's human after all : - )

[@lukasblur3500]

36:51 Mitch, I'm not joking, I almost choked on my sandwhich XD Thank you for this video. Let me know when you're doing the next run. I want to catch it live :)

[@nestorgraciano3316]

That's a good idea for GDQ challenge Donate money per coin touched

[@reedr7142]

I read somewhere that the characters in Doki Doki Panic were unable to run. And since SMB 2 was essentially a palate swap of it, I attempted (and completed) a run-less win--beating all 20 boards. This seems like a MUCH harder challenge.

[@ThePerfectKiosk]

Free coins in SMB3 aren't actually sprites: they're part of the background. When you collect one, the game replaces it with sky, hence why they're never used under water. That's also the reason the background pixels stay yellow in underground levels when you collect coins: it doesn't change the palette of that block of cells.

[@SamsarasArt]

1:07:44 the accidental comedic timing on this is perfect lmao

[@raynmanshorts9275]

A quarter of the coins came from the Tanooki troll, and over a third came from world 5 as a whole, my favorite world.

[@HistoryVideoGamesMiscStuff]

Ah, trying to avoid all the shiny but deadly coins.

[@Millie-X]

nice ceave gaming reference :)

[@JamalLeEpicBall123]

Well its actually surprisingly simple

[@stmisbehavin662]

Mitch: *updates a coin counter by hand* In-game coin counter: AM I A JOKE TO YOU

[@uahgraduate]

🤣 haha omg that's hilarious

[@electrollama2127]

To be fair, the coin count would reset if he got game over.

[@CosmicPlatonix]

It also disappeared when the end credits began. Mitch definitely knew that was coming.

[@ninatiels]

I see it. It’s a turtle. Me and my mom probably put in a thousand hours playing this together and never got better than 4 hours to beat it. And never noticed the turtle till I watched Andy’s full vid of the speedrun sessions.

[@DavidRay_40]

36:52 - I could have told you those coins were there.

[@thebaitandswitch4623]

There totally are coins underwater in the first map of world three. Two rows of four above one of those flower things

[@electrollama2127]

6:25 that was actually really well executed. The other way is to hit the shell to the left and do a precise tail swipe to hit it as it bounces back.

[@NinetyLegos]

Coinless is fun but the fact that a pro is doing it makes it better and more feesable Edit: Best part is that you probably haven't practiced anything like this

[@RainniteGaming]

This needs to be a speed run category. No coin speed run

[@tek4]

25:38 and he said un to me, its a turtle 🐢 and I believed. Mitchflowerpower brought the light to the darkness of my incompetence. Now it cuts like a 9 bladed sword. Not 2 not 5 or 7, but 9 blades.

[@LegendSpecialist]

Next challenge..... Dont kill any enemy (castle "boss" ok others NO)

[@SkipMcLazy]

One of the most fun videos in a while, Mitch (yes, it's almost a year old, but whatever).

[@1984gama]

After seeing you, I realize that the 0 coin challenge is perfectly doable...

[@SvendleBerries]

37:48 "This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps!"

[@benselander1482]

This was a really fun run to watch. It was really fun to watch this video.

[@sophiegrey9576]

Monk%, where you follow the buddhist monk way of separating oneself from physical possessions (i.e. coins)

[@marioprogamer12345]

5:20 even tho you got 3 coins you timed this ending music perfectly

[@RonDaSantis]

Have he ever done Mario 3 without touching any enemies?

[@T3n50r]

This was super fun to watch you run! Fun challenge and tons of great moments throughout. You're cursed by the frog suit, lol

[@victormelendez6972]

This challenge is downright impossible unless you have every single frame memorized 😂😂😂😂

[@threehead99]

As for the coins in water, the effects of that ARE in the game. World 6 is the only place though, and you can see in the levels with the striped background.

[@ImmortalSynn]

Not true. World 7 has coins under water.

[@shelbycopeland3657]

I love how in the beginning he said jumping into a row of 3 coins would be the worst and that's exactly what he ended up doing

[@silentbasilisk3080]

"That is bullcrap!" He says while sitting on the edge of a platform that's supposed to move as soon as you stand on it.

[@snared_]

37:00 DISGUSTING amount of coins Hahaha. That was so funny

[@LeoStaley]

Wtf, at around 59:00 you edited out the jump from 17 to 18 coins!

[@thesterndragoon9159]

So it actually looks like a coinless run IS possible with specific required powerups for some levels. I don't think any of the coins you got were "required". You'll have to try again and get the true zero coin run mantle!

[@BensStuff]

When you got your 6th coin you should have built p speed before entering the pipe then fly over

[@GenyaArikado]

Mitch this run was amazing to watch! You are one of the funniest and best streamers

[@June28July]

59:06 what was that transition?

[@SoberCatMan]

No coin speed run. Let's do it.

[@HoganLegDropSoup]

36:51 Bahahaha. 😂😂😂

[@SamsarasArt]

That was such a troll move lol

[@electrollama2127]

It's also funny because he could have run under those coins as small mario

[@HoganLegDropSoup]

@@electrollama2127 honestly, the best part is watching like 9,000 comments flood his screen right after. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Zakarias89]

I laughed so hard on world 3, lol. Great video

[@Guffrs]

Mitch: Should I get fire flower? Me: Well, you're name isn't MitchRacoonTail

[@LouisvilleHawk]

I want to see a no coin 100% TAS now!

[@nthgth]

52:40 Pretty sure there are underwater coins in 3-1, surrounding a flower enemy

[@Benobot99]

At 28:55 you definitely should've been hurt from the Thwomp. 🤨

[@NightshadeDt]

I'm pretty sure there are a few jumps that you can't clear without at least a little bit of running, so I don't think PointCrow% would be doable.

[@ImmortalSynn]

It's not true that SMB3 can't have coins under water. The first water-level in World 7 has just that!

[@krisfrederick5001]

This reminds of not being able to touch the floor as a kid because it's lava.

[@GenyaArikado]

this reminds me of a sonic 1 hack called red rings where they change all the rings to red rings which make you die instantly when you hit them :P !a fun hack

[@five12man]

1:16:03 it's on the bottle 😅

[@ural0304]

I liked this. I hope these challenges turn into a series 👍

[@Kowalth]

So, every coin picked was -5 bucks? Man, what a challenge! But this is a good one!

[@digitor24]

Hey how can you break the underwater block in world4-1 it is a problem. Any help is appreciated.

[@AdoraWildDreams]

That was so much fun! Did you do it again and go for zero? Its possible now that you know the troll spots!

[@spelwerdzrite]

You can do 7-5 with regular racoon Mario. Build up flight speed at 1:03:07

[@_ac39]

this was so good, laughed harder than I had in a while

[@guillermosemler4397]

This remembers me the "Commie SMB3", a ROM Hack with the same concept...

[@scottmartin8888]

I'm gonna be out somewhere now, and get some change. "NOO" 😆

[@tech6hutch]

This would be a good concept for a charity stream

[@cookiepookiewookie7671]

This was so hype I called the coins at the second hand stage. Best stream.

[@meddles123]

Thanks

[@gddub]

I want to see a ZERO coin run

[@LukeSeed]

Take a shot for every time mitch says actually

[@CosmicPlatonix]

Poor Mitch has spent so long developing speedrun strats that he let himself get rusty at NON-speedrun play. 😆

[@Benobot99]

1:07:42 to 1:07:54 is gold 😂

[@MarkyMark8484]

This was awesome. Definitely no white mushroom house in this one.

[@PKMNwww411_MkII]

CDiArcade screwed you over for $35. Random quote of the day: Eating pancakes for an entire week? Who does that?

[@Venport]

Your best vod yet

[@fieldapple4428]

37:00 bro got finessed

[@JettIRL]

This is how the IRS audit billionaires

[@robsta1096]

I always say you can’t put a price on game knowledge. But apparently you can, $5 at a time.

[@b4ube]

The coinship has seriously traumatized Mitch.

[@demonangel00]

there were spots in this were i was dying laughing lol.

[@Sir_Leelord]

i wanna see a serious no coin run to see if its possible....like if u accidentally get a coin in a level, die and retry that level.

[@ninjaguyYT]

I figured he should have had used save states at the beginning of each stage.

[@kimkimpa5150]

52:41 World champion in Super Mario Bros 3 100% speed runs says there's no coins in the water. That's kinda ironic... given that there is in fact plenty of coins in the water in SMB3, especially in World 3. You can see one of the coins in this video at 13:40. There's also coins in World 3 Level 1, but it was cut out of the video. Oh and at 1:03:42 there are coins as well. Even chat points it out but it's somehow ignored.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

1:44 Tardy Turtle

[@MrFwibbles]

No coins in water in this game? Check the left side of the screen at 13:40.

[@johneygd]

I still get confused overtime wich room is the coin room and wich one is the item room in level 2 of world 8., those mistakes in 5-5 and 7-6 could,ve been definitely avoided, Next time you should could try to avoid hitting enemy’s and another time trying to not hit or grab any item😁

[@Kasigi03]

The first three coins has to be the most amateur mistake for a speed runner doing this run. How do you not know there were coins there?

[@jurakarok3343]

This pauper¢ run is pretty cool.

[@megamoleplayz]

Boy what a level dessert hill 1-1!

[@zadeisme]

im not done with the video but world 5 will suck cause at the end of alot of levels you have the floating cloud that throws enemies at you i wonder how he going to beat that

[@tigheklory]

Wasn't there a chain chomp at the end of a level? I thought there was.

[@Kuudere-Kun]

Have you ever considered doing a Pacifist Run?

[@irritant623]

This was really cool man. Love the skills

[@Benobot99]

36:50 LMFAO!! 😂

[@diegocrusius]

how does mario leave after getting the flute? Hes clearly stuck!

[@WaluigiThePurplePlumber1980]

Nice speed run man

[@MrSt3nc]

Could you also do an 100% All possible coins run?

[@TheFrankissofine]

This video was hilarious!

[@michan1848]

How did you manage to get through the chain chomp at the end of 2-5?

[@FranciscoContrabajo]

I want to know where he gets the coin number 18, please somebody tell meeeee...

[@hotdogwater7037]

i hope that thumbnail wasnt done on purpose...once you see it, you cant unsee it

[@chrismeadus2796]

I'm done with frog suits...(immidiatly gets frog)...

[@chrisoneal2718]

Can this be added as a category extension?

[@lukeshioshio]

Do this with New Super Mario Bros 2. It would actually be really funny.

[@WilliamHerrold]

Awesome stream! Really fun!

[@a.e.mathis268]

Noooo for the first 3 coins collected, he sound like woody from toy story lol....

[@data261]

So he failed…but it is doable? I don’t recall any completely unavoidable ones
