Is it Possible to Win Super Mario 35 Without Touching a Coin?

There are lots of potential challenges you could do with this game, some of them too hard and some of them too easy. I feel like this one is a really good middle ground, where it definitely limits you, but not in a way that is totally impossible or totally dependent on your opponents being bad. Enjoy!

@@berkkurun9109 Which is totally irrelevant? Like, that's his personal challenge, and it's not like he has this crazy high knowledge of where the coins are. The way he normally plays, coins pretty much don't matter to him. The point of the first comment is that Kosmic criticized a "good" player for getting hit by an easy enemy, and then gets hit by an easy enemy. Of course, there's a huge difference even there. The other player has access to coin purchases, while Kosmic does not. But, regardless, entering a coin room is so exceptionally different, I can't imagine why you brought it up.

[@iwasboredyay]

If you hold "L" from the main menu or from the results screen it won't scroll through the power ups.

@@Kosmicd12 Like gokust07 says, if you select a level and then hold L, you'll be able to play as Luigi. I also figured out that once players start joining the lobby, possibly sooner, you can let go and still be Luigi

The KO system is kind of interesting when you think about it, like if there's a bunch of flying cheep cheeps keeping you from jumping freely so you mistime your jump and end up running into a goomba, I wouldn't really say the goomba was the reason you died, but they got the credit

Nice, I already saw NicoBBQ do this, so now it's your turn, I guess! (0:53) Ah, so you're a Ceave Gaming fan. Nice. (1:36) LOL, nice one! Old habits die hard, I guess. (3:31) D'oh! (3:55) Correct. In the original SMB1, kicked shells can't break bricks or open ? blocks. (5:06) Oh, no... 2-3 and 7-3 are among the worst levels to get in a coinless challenge. (5:23, 5:35, 5:50) Wow, excellent coin dodges! (8:34) Two Bowsers and Lakitu while you're small... Welp, good luck...? (8:43) Toasty! (10:00) Aw, nuts... The coins at the start of 4-3 are nearly impossible to avoid. (10:05) Wow, you dodged them! ...Although there were two Bowsers to greet you just afterwards. (10:16) Poke. Better luck next time. (11:46) Can't exactly fully control whether you KO another player or not. (12:28) Oops! 1-2's bonus room is taboo to even enter in this challenge. (14:28) Nooo... I felt that missed jump onto that coin... (15:25) Stomp, bonk, coin, fail. (17:06) Yeah, had to zoom in on that epic fail. (17:50) I call shenanigans on that death. It never makes sense to me to die to something stompable that hits your feet from below while you're standing on something. (18:06) Fortunately, this is one of the bonus rooms that's safe to enter while you're trying to go coinless. (18:46) Nuts. It was either coin death or hammer death, most likely. (19:16) Underwater Goomba's stomp gives L the L. (19:46) Sneaky Goomba with the off-screen attack of doom! (25:05) 3-1's bonus room is also perfectly safe to enter in a coinless challenge. (25:38) Success! Victory without directly collecting any coins yourself!

[@wsemenske]

In baseball terms, a no coin run is like a no-hitter. A no KO run as well is a perfect game

[@blackcat_064]

Kosmic should do this but with stream snipers so that as many people as possible in a game are not collecting coins. This would be great for trying to get the lowest winning score possible.

[@unspeakablevorn]

As far as I can tell there is exactly one place in Super Mario Bros where it is possible for a koopa to physically hit a block that does anything: around 3/4 of the way through 5-2, there's a red koopa on a high shelf to the right of a low shelf above a pit. in All-Stars (the only version I have available), the koopa is too fast to hit the low shelf unmodified, but if you do break the rightmost block, you can get the koopa to hit the second block... where it simply bounces off to no effect.

[@MeesterTweester]

I was wondering about it too and found that one part in 5-2! So Koopa shells breaking block is a new change. In the NES version it just bounces off the rightmost block.

When you think about it, not gaining KOs probably means that other people are getting it, thus making the endgame more difficult.

Lowest Time is probably the best late-game targeting option, since they're likely to die of their own accord.

If the 34 other Marios run headlong into the first Goomba then you would get WR in this category, until you get a game where the 34 other Marios disconnect immediately.
