Is it possible to beat Super Mario World without touching a single coin?

I don't know why but at this point I think it's safe to assume that I'm really enjoying making Mario poor by avoiding all coins on purpose I don't really know why but I mean it's a hobby for me now okay the first game I've ever owned and played is Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo and I figured I haven't played this game in a while so why not try to beat this game without collecting any coins rules are pretty simple there is a coin counter on the top right there and it must remain at 0 this means we cannot collect any coin whatsoever Super Mario World features dragon coins which are bigger coins with Yoshi's face on it collecting five of those in the same level gives you an extra one up life but as you can see they do increase the normal coin counter so we're going to have to avoid those as well most of you know that Super Mario World features a star world which can be accessed early in the game and it can bring you right to Bowser so I'd actually like to stay away from the star road if possible for this run meaning I'd like to try to beat all of the Koopalings while having zero coins is it going to be possible I don't know we'll find out together all right guys let's begin this quest to save Princess Peach without being able to actually pay for her taxi ride back home here we go Yoshi's Island is our first stop and the first level is actually pretty easy there are not a lot of coins in here so yeah to complete a level in Super Mario World you must hit this giant gate at the end for this run you must make sure no enemies are present on screen when you hit that thing because if there are enemies left they turn into coins and you know we want to avoid this at all cost this giant gate also has this thing that moves up and down and you'll want to hit it every time because if you decide only to pass in between the gate without touching the little thing it will turn into a coin that you automatically collect knowing that just defeat the charging chuck and hit the thing and you're good to go next up is the yellow switch palace and my only tip here is to never push that piece switch because if you do well uh I guess now no let's not do that again Yoshi's Island too is the first level to feature our Dino friend Yoshi and it's also the level where I learn about some interesting mechanics in Super Mario World usually when you're writing Yoshi you'll eat many things as you know it is Yoshi's specialty but doing so in this game apparently turns the enemies into coins that you automatically collect so here's another rule we're gonna have to add here you must not eat anything as Yoshi because it will turn into coins that's not true for enemies that Yoshi doesn't swallow like koopa troopas so these are good but you know for the other enemies let's just avoid them all together Yoshi's Island three features a couple of tight jumps but the fact that we completed the yellow switch palace actually makes our life way easier by creating a bridge of blocks under us if we fall down Yoshi's Island four has water everywhere so this will be of great help to avoid some coins that would normally be kind of a pain in the butt to avoid I gotta admit that this part here seems spooky at first but just use the p-switch to create a bridge and you're gonna be good to go Iggy's castle is up and the first part is pretty easy as coins are all avoidable but I had trouble with this second part here because the problem live with those coins over there I tried to Crouch jump I tried to jump above them using this question block but the only thing that actually worked out was to get hit on purpose to become small Mario and Dan crouch jump under the coins the fight against Iggy is easy and on that note Yoshi's Island is done donut Plains one gives us our first taste of the feather cape and with it we can glide to safety and this will prove to be useful to avoid coins and also to defeat enemies near the and gate donut Plains to is an autoscroller but most coins can be easily avoided and it also features a secret exit which allows us to skip half the level the green switch palace once again features a p-switch but this one ain't really dangerous so you can hit it without any problems donut ghost house danger comes from this piece which that makes a bunch of coins appear but it's not required to hit that switch to finish the level so let's just skip it for now donut plains 3 it's kind of tricky at some parts because of the rotating platforms and I kind of lost Yoshi like an idiot so bye bye fellow those rotating platforms near the end of the level are pretty scary but thankfully we can jump above the coins and glide with the feather cape to safety donut Plains 4 is not that difficult although those go lumba kinda gave me a hard time because they kept hitting me but besides that this level is easy Morton's Castle almost features no coins at all in the castle so going up to fighting is a piece of cake just for funsies I decided to go to the secret exit of donut Plains 1 to see if the star roll was achievable from here I unlocked donut secret one which is an underwater level but to unlock the next secret level you're actually supposed to grab the key in that block and use it on the keyhole but as you can see this won't be possible without collecting coins so there's no use trying it let's just get back on track to vanilla dome vanilla dome 1 is not really difficult as the coins are not very well placed and are always on a path you can easily avoid the only tricky coin is the dragon coin near the end but it's only tricky because you are running so fast and you might not expect it jump above it or go under it and you're done vanilla dome 2 is next and it doesn't take a long time before reaching out this part oh oh I guess this is bad news for the run right well yeah there is nothing you can do to avoid this arrow made out of coins so I guess this level is impossible but luckily there's a secret path that can be unlocked in vanilla dome 1 so let's just try getting back there and hopefully we can use the secret exit to try to keep this quest going so the secret exit is actually up there but there's no way of being fast enough to fly up here as far as I know the only solution has to be our good old Dino buddy once again so go back to this level with you she and I must admit some parts are pretty tricky with him because remember you can't really eat enemies or else you get a coin but eventually you'll make it to this part use Yoshi to get a boost to get the vine to come out and then use them once again to climb up the vine and get to the secret exit yay this run might not be dead after all vanilla secret one is up and to be fair all you have to do is climb up to the top like you would in a normal run because there are not a lot of coins in here vanilla secret to is up and some of the jumps are actually pretty tricky but luckily you can use those little bumps falling down in a parachute to bounce your way to safety defeat all of the Koopas near the end gate and you're done vanilla secret three is easy at first because even though these dolphins could be potentially dangerous you can swim safely under them up until that last part there are tons of coins here to avoid and swimming is out of the question this time because of this annoying enemy that wants you dead at this point you have no choice but to use the Dolphins as moving platforms to jump above the coins it might be tricky and take a couple of tries to get it but it's totally possible and actually feels really satisfying to pull off vanilla fortress is up and this one's pretty easy there's almost no coins in here even the mini bus fight is easy and features no coins so on that note we have completed vanilla dome even though we had to use the secret path to do so butter bridge 1 is next and this one is quite difficult first off the level is an autoscroller which always is a pain to begin with this is not the end of your suffering because of these platforms that go down when you stand on them but when one goes down the other one goes up so some really tight and difficult jumps are required to be the level thankfully this level is pretty short so eventually it will be all over up next is butter bridge 2 a super easy level that is very welcomed after the stressful one we just completed basically those little flying super coupons will be your best of friends too jump above coins bounce on them and you'll easily finish your level Lulu a castle might be the easiest one so far as it actually contains zero coins now there's no coins at all in here like seriously I checked out the footage and I literally saw no coins at all this world is now over and we will now travel to the mysterious forest of illusion who spooky all right let me preface this by saying that forest of illusion is one of the most boring world you'll encounter in this run because there's almost no coins at all here like seriously besides the pea blocks that might contain one you'll almost never run on any coins while playing the levels in this world this also applies to forest of illusion too which takes place underwater there's nothing here besides dragon coins and they are so easy to avoid it's not even worth talking about it the blue switch Palace does contain coins but crouch jump to avoid them and that's all forest of illusion 3 also is a place of no coins there's this single jump here that can be tricky but I had a feather cape so we're good to go rice castle is next and the difficult part is this one over here where you need to dodge dragon coins look I know I messed up here but I managed to do it anyways even though I hit the spikes so it counts okay don't start hating on me for that that was legit we are now out of the forest and let's move to chocolate island so good news chocolate island one does feature coins that we must avoid yay finally some challenge so this part here requires you to use the p-switch but doing so puts you in a dangerous situation where there's a jumping chuck and a coin above him basically you have to jump to bait him to do the same thing and then quickly run under him to avoid the coin so beside that part this level is easy next up is Shoko ghost house which features a grand total of 0 coins yeah so just plate normally and that's it chocolate island 2 is an interesting level it contains three different areas that are accessible based on the way you play the game area one is always the same and isn't really difficult well okay that doesn't count okay how could I tell there was an invisible block that ain't fair once you enter the pipe here you will be transported to different areas based on the number of coins you collected in the first one but considering we're not collecting any coins here we'll always end up in here area three is changing depending on how much time is left on the timer up there basically for this run we don't want to get to the secret exit so we'll have to waste some time and enter the pipe in area two when there's less than two hundred and forty nine seconds left doing that will allow us to reach the end gate and proceed to the next level chocolate island 3 ain't that interesting it does feature rotating platforms at a couple of annoying coins but nothing that will stop us on this quiz chocolate fortress is up next and there's no coins in here so let's move on chocolate island for scare to me for a second here as I thought this dragon coin would be the end of us but luckily there are multiple Pat's here so we can easily dodge it the other coins only require you to walk slowly with those sunglasses wearing Mo's and you'll be good chocolate island 5 is full of blocks and has this piece which here I'll let you figure out what happens if you press it yeah not a good idea you still need the piece wish for this part here so just bring it with you until this part and then use it make sure to be as fast as you can because those blocks turn back into dangerous coins when the timer expires when the castle is up and avoiding coins won't be really difficult here as there are almost none of them I had a funny glitch that occurred here where instead of being squished by the block I just got teleported in the hole but yeah whatever Wendy is defeated and we can move on to world Bowser well almost you see before entering Bowser's world we have to complete the sunken ghost ship there's not a lot of coins in here mostly booze that keep appearing at difference butts making it a little bit difficult this next part is scary because you fall at a high speed and can't really see the dragon coins below you but if you're careful you can avoid them anyways the thing you can't avoid though are those coins here yup there's no way of going down without collecting coins in here I thought there might be a peace wish that could turn them into breakable bricks but alas there is none you heard that right this level cannot be completed this is kind of annoying to be stopped so close to Bowser's Castle it really broke my heart at least we still got to defeat almost all of the Koopalings without collecting coins although this could have been a satisfying ending to this quest I didn't want to give up just yet remember how I told you I was going to try to avoid the star world unless it was really needed well I guess now is the time where we'll need to test the strategy out there are multiple ways of entering the star world so let's try to get there the forest ghost house could potentially lead us to a fortress and the star road eventually but this one cannot be completed without collecting coins in here so you know this entrance is not gonna work as I tried earlier in the run the first entrance in donut secret one is a no-go because of the coins blocking out the excess to the key but vanilla secret one might be our solution in fact this secret exit is pretty easy to get to without collecting a single coin we now have access to star world let's make good use of this okay star world 2 is our first up in here and the only difficulty comes from not eating fishes with Yoshi besides that we can reach out the secret key and move on to the next one star world 3 this one is super easy to be fair just throw a block on the key to steal his cloud go up grab the key and you're done star world 4 is easy if you have a cape or a Yoshi because you can simply fly to the secret block and hit it with the cape and on that note we now have access to this star over here where does it lead us well straight to Bowser's Castle nice Bowser's Castle in Super Mario World is made up of different rooms that all lead up to the final battle I picked a random door and went to this part with the fences you can climb on it contain no coins so we're all good then I ended up in this underwater section and once again there were no kinds to be found in here the last part to get to Bowser only features a couple of enemies to dodge and to defeat and that's it it's time for the final battle defeat Bowser like you would in a normal fight and there you go we have defeated Bowser we have rescued Princess Peach and all of this without collecting a single coin we did it yes it is possible to complete Super Mario World without collecting a coin this quest is over and it's complete I'm so happy that this was possible and to be honest out of all the challenges I've done so far this one proved to be the easiest as I realized there's not that many annoying coins in Super Mario World really thanks a lot for watching the video guys I hope you enjoyed it and if you have other ideas for cool challenges you'd like me to complete be sure to leave them in the comment section down below I've also attempted to complete Super Mario 3d World and use super mario bros d s without collecting any coins so tap one of those two cars on screen to
