Is it Possible to Beat New Super Mario Bros 2 While Touching Every Coin?

I've made these all coin videos on every single new super mario bros game except this one and there's a reason for that because quite frankly I'm terrified of this challenge that's because there's a ludicrous amount of coins to collect as the game implies but you know what I've delayed this for long enough I have no idea how we're gonna complete this but it's been long enough in the time must be tested but first let's lay some ground rules because New Super Mario Bros 2 is quite the handful I must grab every coin red coin piece which coin and coins from the bricks to complete the levels the end goal is of course beating the final Bowser I'm also allowed to use any power of buy one so I'll use 100% save file if I need to for a specific powerup alternate exits can also be used to bypass impossible segments if necessary there's also certain types of coins we won't need to get these include unnatural coins from the gold flower basically all that means is if I shoot a gold ball at a brick that doesn't normally have coins but makes them anyway they don't count but I can use the gold ball to reach bricks that already have coins in them we also don't need the flying gold block coins and coins that are produced from a gold ring these are being omitted since these methods of coins are created under limited circumstances and finally star coins don't add to the counters so we don't need them at all now look I know that's a lot of rules but this game makes things complicated so that's the game's fault for adding all these obnoxious methods for grabbing coins but anyway let's get into it oh boy so here we go the first stage now if you've seen the new Super Mario Bros Wii video for this challenge you'll know that the 10 coin blocks were annoying because after getting 10 coins another 5 would spew out randomly which were hard to predict for nsmb 2 these 10 coin blocks now turn into a golden block which you can mash into your head that's right every single 10 coin block has this and we have to keep it on without getting hit by anything until 100 coins come out of it but that's not the problem with this level our issue is this eruption of coins these coins only spawn in after grabbing the star coin and as you can see there is no godly way we can nab them all let's great the first level and we're already stuck so naturally I bought another 3ds and another copy of New Super Mario Bros 2 that's because this game has co-op and using these two systems I can play as Mario and Luigi so I went back through one one and placed the Ouija exactly were the coins on the right spawn in then I lined up Mario on the left after jumping for the star coin I still missed a few coins on the left seeing as I wasn't in a good position but was amazed to see Luigi only miss one coin on the right so then I tried it again look how close that was I only missed one that time at this point I also learned that the spew of coins is different every single time so what that sums up to is I need st luck on top of playing well I attempted this dozens more times and this fail was so sad because I had perfect luck and was so stunned about that that I didn't notice this last coin and I waited too long to grab it that one is gonna give me a nightmare for weeks I tried this so many times that I knew that I needed to put Luigi in this exact spot where he bounced on both of these note blocks but only a tiny bit on the left one I mean this was down to a freaking science and then this happened that's right the luck was finally in our favor and we actually got all the coins I am genuinely shocked this was even possible and after that there really wasn't much to do I did have to be quick when finishing since there was still a lot of gold blocks to burn through well that was a colossal undertaking and guess what one two is actually worse you see all these bricks with the Koopas inside well every single one has a coin inside of them you know why would they even put coins in all of these while we can't jump up and hit some blocks with the tanuki tail there's no way to get all of them the only potential solution would be to use a gold flower and believe it or not this actually works so now I have to carefully wall jump up and hit all these blocks it all seemed good until we got to these last two blocks the gold balls hitbox didn't quite reach but then I had one more ridiculous idea I knew there was a mega mushroom in this level so I knocked it out of the pipe grab the coins I missed and ran back to the beginning by some stroke of luck I broke this one block which would give me access to climb up top now I restarted this level to have more time and let me tell you I could not get myself high enough another fun fact that I learned was that I couldn't Crouch jump my way up here because Mario would stop crouching after bouncing off the lady's head I know this is all looking gloom and doom but one good thing about the mega mushroom is that it puts the golden flower back in your item slot which would be very useful later so knowing that I fell down a pit so Mario could shrink to a small size then carefully held both three DS's so I could jump with Luigi and Mario eventually I got myself in the tiny room now that I was in this room I took out the golden flower in my item slot use that to get those missing coins double check that this worked then ran off the screen as Luigi and Mario returned as a bubble with the gold flower still intact in that proves you can actually beat this level unfortunately I did have to redo all this because the timer ran out for being too slow but I'm just glad this is possible at all well talk about a stupidly hard level but one three was monumentally easier and thank God when checking the maps for this game I discovered there's a load of coins in the air so I had to be sure to backtrack and get all these check in the map again I found coins that I thought would be tricky to get but realize I could just than with a tanuki tail while I did miss these coins in the sky you can't take this pipe back up there as many times as you want to so I got them all after a couple attempts and that was it one three was easy enough the only interesting thing to note about one tower is there's a row of coins above this secret area I'm glad I spotted them when checking the map otherwise they could have been easily missed now 1 4 was really easy and 1/5 took a little while to get the coins at the end because they circled with the bloopers and swam really slowly 1a had a lot of hidden coins but it was rather simple the final level in world 1 was straightforward with very few coins to grab so after knocking out Roy we have completed world 1 I'm not gonna lie I can't believe we've made it this far I was expecting cold miserable failure from the very beginning but alas were actually at 2 1 and of course this level was pretty annoying to play getting all these coins by ground-pounding the blocks while they rotated was time-consuming and then my brain turned on realizing I could just use the gold flower for these and like I said before the only coins I technically need to get are the bricks that already have coins in them like these ones right here for the sake of this video I'll still collect any that I make just for the heck of it halfway through to two I ended up playing as Luigi because it's much more comfortable to hold the 2d SXL compared to the regular 3ds and it was a painless level now 2/3 was super weird because it has question mark blocks as decorations in the walls does this mean the level is technically impossible now or do we ignore them because they're decorations this is a pretty great subject but I decided we don't need to get these ones now I understand if you think this level can't be done but honestly they are just decorations so let's keep going this was another tedious stage because I had to ground-pound every single block as they all have coins in them next I took some stocks so I could get the goal in tanuki to help with this upcoming piece which this didn't go as well as I thought it might as I ended up missing a lot of coins now unlike the DS version of New Super Mario Bros there is no mega mushroom house so I can't bring this in 2 to 3 in cheeseless I tried this again using the spring this time and while I made more progress I still missed a handful coins a few more tries in and now I'm getting input lag like come on Nintendo this is ridiculous I guess the Wi-Fi isn't that strong on the 3ds even though they're like one foot apart because honestly the lag was making things harder so I'm gonna go back to solo play for the time being to atleast temper that problem after several more attempts I figured out that by flying from the right to the left would give me a good chunk of speed and was able to grab a lot of coins then on the way back I could use the spring to get any that I missed I only missed three coins on this try so I knew that this was possible for more optimization I move the spring more to the right so I could reach the last half of the blue coins faster and this attempt left me with two coins and shortly after that one coin and finally man talk about a close call and crazier I barely use the spring and it still somehow worked out so yeah you can beat 2/3 while touching every coin good lord next was to a while there are loads of tight jumps to make it was more than doable these coins and to tower were tricky to nab but otherwise this was another easy level and after that I had a string of simple levels these included two ghost house two four to five and finally to beat it was pretty nice to have a break after all that crap I just put up with so next was to castle and this one had a bad start because all of these bricks have coins in them which of course is ridiculously hard to snipe with the tail so I turned on my brain again grabbed gold Mario and surprise surprise has got a lot easier with that said though to Castle definitely kept me on my toes keeping that spring alive while getting all the red coins and using gold Mario to bust open the moving blocks was a lot to handle but thankfully level was possible and it allowed us to head to world 3 careening into 3-1 I gotta say you know I'm feeling pretty good about this challenge most of world 2 was a breeze and now we're just smooth sailing ah I shouldn't have said anything even with Luigi to help me out I wasn't even close to getting all these coins I'm gonna have to bring in some actual help because this should be possible but I need another player to fly and stay near the top of this pipe so should I ask my brother both annual Mandy what nothing who's that na tetra but gaming's gonna come in clutch and help us out now I apologize advance that this piece of footage looks choppy we actually had to play this on Citra and it was running at a horrible framerate but anyway tetra and I came up with the most ridiculous plan I was golden Tanooki Mario and ran across this tiny platform which had barely enough space to start my flight then tetras Luigi follows right behind and hits the switch as soon as I hover right above the pipe after that I would fly in place until my flight meter ran dry and lastly was the hardest part we had to rely on good luck that the coin would drop near us and after dozens and dozens of attempts eventually the coins were in our favor and we managed to get them all I don't know how we did this spill but hey I guess I'll take it and that wraps up three one three two was relatively easy and the same goes for three three as well as three a three towers was very close quarters considering it was an autoscroller but he can't complete it in three four seem to be fine until we got to yet another pipe that spews coins so you know what that means tetra bit gaming coming in clutch part two now our plan this time was just as insane as the last one I was golden Tanooki Mario again and had to build up speed off this wooden box but I also had to turn around and jump again so I would have additional time to grab coins then tetra would jump off the wiggler and hit the switch so the coins would start pouring out and everything went to plan at this point but there's one major problem as soon as I started floating down we realized the coins fall through the box now obviously we saw that before but it wasn't apparent how horrible this was until now our only chance of doing this would have required the coins to land on this box but they don't want to cooperate so even with Tetris help three four was not going to be possible so is this challenge over as I expected it would be well not yet we have one more option going back to three tower we can take this alternate exit to unlock this cannon and this cannon takes us the world flower there's another cannon we need to get to an world flower that will direct us to world six so this is all we've got left this final route must work or we fail trying flower one was a great start as it was very simple to get through we just needed to be sure to take the secret exit that would lead us to flower a which goes to that cannon with flower a there's some hidden coins that NAB up above but otherwise it was possible which of course means we can take this cannon and go straight to world six despite how close of a call this has been there's actually a smidge of a chance that we can beat New Super Mario Bros 2 with every coin let's do this six one starts off pretty challenging because you have to make sure you destroy the bricks before the meteors get to them but the PAL blocks help the line and it was possible next up is six ghost house I hit the switch and the ground fell from beneath me and oh my goodness I'm gonna need some help from Luigi after busting out the green lad I positioned him over the coins on the right and then I got the ones on the left after that there really wasn't that many coins to find in the level as possible six-two was also doable but very challenging I went in with gold Mario since there was a lot of bricks to break while I was also forced to stay on this dry bones train thing even though the train was moving slowly I really needed to play well or I was gonna miss coins the ending was scary since the lava was rising but like I said six-two was doable gold mario was essential for 6:3 considering this level was filled with bricks and coins so his giant gold blast was required to complete this one in 6 a happened to be short and sweet but 6 B did not start well these platforms move up or down when you jump on them and there's coins all over the place so there isn't an easy way to backtrack and get any using the golden tanuki though helped quite a bit but even so it was still a pain we're lucky that this platform comes back because we need to use it a couple of times to get all these coins moving on to sixth hour this was another long level but it was also lacking coins making it possible six-four was going alright until we got to the end these group of coins popped in and I didn't really come close to getting any of them so I retried this with a goal in tanuki and made sure to get a running start and touch the platform so I could fly spawning the coins to get them and still have time to land after this method worked perfectly and I got all the coins on my first try and four six five it was more than possible which means we've got one more level to finish I am in disbelief we have gotten to this point but here we go six final castle and surprisingly there wasn't a lot of coins to get we played through the stage got past the Koopalings Deathrays thought bounds are twice into my complete surprise it is possible to beat New Super Mario Bros 2 while touching every coin out of every Mario game this is the one who would have expected to never be able to do but somehow it all ended up working out I really think that gold flower played a big part in helping as well as the gold tanuki their versatility made a huge difference and I can't thank them enough but let's not stop there we might as well try out the rest of the levels right let's head back to where we stopped at world 3 and continue this adventure 3 ghost house was easier than I expected it to be now 3 B was really strange since you could take two different paths so we'll have to complete at least one of them the red pipe path was pretty easy I just needed to jump well but the yellow pipe path is a different story entering this secret pipe there's two bullet bills that I have to keep jumping off and there is far too many coins for me to grab here a golden tanuki wouldn't work either as seeing as we'd run out of flight and two characters really wouldn't have made a difference there's just way too many coins even with this though were stolen the clear since this red pipe was completed next we're trying three five and after entering this blue pipe there's a piece which for us to hit and as you can see there is zero chance of us getting all these coins even with two people it just wouldn't be enough time the final stage in world 3 gave us no issues though so it's time to move to world 4 for one was pretty simple and for ghost house went fine until we got to this final room before the flagpole there's loads of coins which seemed easy to nab but of course the walls closed in on us before we can get them all I did go back to this to see if the walls would possibly open up again but of course they don't thankfully there's a secret exit that we can take to bypass this room so that brings us the four beat in four B was really easy and the same goes for for two but then there's 4a and ho boy this one was a trip it seems to be fine until you get to the very end only to find four coins viewers four of them even with two players this would be impossible because the mushrooms are constantly launching you high in the air which lets the coin spread out as far as they want to so for a is just not gonna happen after that was for Tower and this one was pretty intense while you can get all these coins you really have to be booking it if you're not jumping for coins really early then you're not gonna be able to grab them all this level was a rush for three as well as for four were easy levels to knockout for five was pretty slow just because it was on the water but I learned something cool about the bubble coins just like in New Super Mario Bros u these coins respawn if you miss them the first time if they didn't respond this level probably wouldn't have been possible so I'm glad that they do now for four C's piece which I thought I'd have no chance of getting all these blue coins but it was actually a lot easier than I expected and outside of that this level was painless and to wrap up world for forecastle was a cakewalk without much getting in our way so next up is world 5 we've got another string of easy levels to go through which include v 1 v 2 v 3 and finally 5 ghost house but the difficulty picks up at 5 tower after the checkpoint we essentially have an autoscroller where we can't touch the ground due to the lava and these coins are all over the place and worse I can't get hit at all because I have to complete this gold block on top of everything going on so instead I busted up the golden tanuki in this level was miles easier so that takes care of that v 4 was really simple as well as 5 5 + 5 6 5 a was going smoothly until around halfway through there's a lot of coins high in the air that I couldn't quite reach at least not easily so I tried it again with the golden tanuki and all was good after that and lastly was 5 castle which was also pretty easy you know it's really weird how these later levels have been a lot easier compared to the first couple worlds but anyway let's move on to world mushroom mushroom one was fairly simple and mushroom two was slow going but there is very little coins for mushroom a I had to be cautious up the spiky balls but that was about it and everything was going fine at mushroom ghost house until I got to this room with a piece which as you can see there's a load of blue coins here but it doesn't seem like anything unreasonable I pulled out my other 3ds again and position the Ouija on the left but out of nowhere Mario took off and Luigi ended up in a bubble that's when I realized that this would be near impossible I tried this a few times anyway and while I could kind of control Mario Luigi at the same time the bouncy platforms were so fast and all that happened was Luigi would end up in a bubble from leaving the screen so maybe this is possible with extremely good synchronisation but I'm not too sure on that mushroom B was a bit of an intense autoscroller but if he moved quickly and had gold Mario it wasn't too shabby but mushroom 3 well that one is a hard no and let me show you why you see all these blocks up here they've all got coins in them for some reason and we don't even get a chance to fly up and get them because mushroom free turns into an autoscroller so there's no way you could get all these coins but mushroom castle wasn't too shabby I had to remember to fly up here to get these hidden coins on top but it was otherwise easy so now let's head back the world flower and finish those levels flower ghost house was super weird but definitely possible now you might be wondering about that part where the star makes the entire floor turn into coins none of those blocks were technically breakable before so I don't consider these required to collect if you think they are then by all means the level is impossible but this is the only time a star does this in the game so I think we're good flower 2 was a little challenging in some sections but it wasn't too bad flower 3 was also possible but extremely annoying at the halfway point you have to play the rest the level as mini Mario this normally isn't that bad but trying to get all the coins while making jumps off the Koopas is the worst this took a lot of patience and practice but you can't have all these coins following that was flower beam and that one was painless flower Castle was pretty easy and fun too although I had this weird encounter with Lemmy where I somehow got stuck his ball I'm not sure if I'll ever replicate that but hey that wraps up world flower so now on to the final area world star starting with star one well it wasn't very inviting we reached this piece which coin only to drop down and find ten bajillion coins even with two people there is no feasible way you could get all these but frankly that's the only level in world star that gave us problems because star two star three and star four were easy to knock out star five had these Koopas that were constantly moving the weight platforms which was really obnoxious but you could get all the coins star six had some tricky auto-scrolling but that doesn't really matter since you could complete it star seven was another tricky level with loads of precise jumps but you could nab all the coins here too and finally the last level star Castle it wasn't too bad except for a few of these invisible coins you needed to first go over eight of them then hide behind the wall to avoid the flash then grab those coins and immediately go for the next eight the timing for this was impeccable and it took quite a bit of practice but besides that I took out dry Bowser and knocked out this level and there we go guys that is the game out of every single level 75 out of 81 levels were possible only six couldn't be completed that is simply mind-boggling if there's one thing to say about New Super Mario Bros 2 they really do want you to get every coin considering so few levels weren't possible but with that said I hope you enjoyed today's video and thank you so much for watching I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll speak with you all soon
