Clearly the reason you beat Bowser so easily at the end was because you didn't have all those heavy coins weighing you down!

Imagine if Nico had spare change in his pockets while recording the audio and had to redo the whole video.

Instructions unclear, collected the 4 coins in the castle lobby.

1996: look how many coins I have 2018: look how many coins I don’t have

Ah crap I collected a coin BETTER NOSEDIVE INTO THE OBLIVION

Is it possible to beat Paper Mario without crashing it?

Nicobbq: coins can regenerate your health! Also Nicobbq: DEADLY COINS

15:25 "Where you'll have to dodge bouncing purple coins..." _"...bouncing purple coins..."_ _"...purple coins..."_ *_"...PURPLE COINS..."_*

Can you beat Super Mario 64 without touching *the a button* Nico:Wait what- **pannenkoek2012 breaks through the window and the file select music starts**

Nico has 27 unpaid bills, he refuses to touch any money.

3:43 Correction: The pink heart can also heal you but there aren’t many in the game

11:31 at this moment, Nicobbq knew, he'd messed up

I can't wait for Can you beat Super Mario 3D land's Secret worlds without touching a single coin!

This series should be called "NicoBBQ actively avoids capitalism"

is it possible to beat super coin 64 without touching a single mario?

4:46 HEY HE TOUCHED A COIN.

now something impossible can you beat any lego game (story mode) withouth collecting a single stud

(The big star pops out of Bowser and Mario collects it) Bowser: "Ha! You just activated my trap card!" Mario: "What?" (The big star fades away and reveals its true form... A coin...)

5:56 more like can you beat cool cool mountain without killing penguins.

Nicobbq: *beats whomp king without jumping through him* Me: *Wait that's illegal.*

5:58 We've all done it :)

7:05 Always thought Mario said “so long GAY bowser!”

its not "so long king bowser!" the correct way "so long gay bowser!"

5:50 you could always walk the baby penguin up the mountain and you will clip through the mountain and fall into the slide level but this is a glitch glitchless run so this comment could be ...

I really like that your zero (or as low as possible) coin runs are done glitch-less, it's fun to see the strategies for all the various levels, and which levels or areas end up being much harder or even impossible with the no coins limitation. A no-coin run that uses glitches or other stuff to skip like 90% of the game is more like a speedrun that happens to collect no coins rather than an intentional no-coin playthrough.

I really love all of your coinless videos! Can you try The Lost Levels coinless?

You know what they say: money doesn’t give happiness

pannenkoek2012: **collects every single star that doesn't involve red coins or 100 coins without collecting a coin** Nicobbq: Impossible.

"A full fledged 3d Mario game" Ouch! Sick burn on 3d Land and 3d World

When you run out of mario games always remember Lego star wars

I attempted this as well and you actually can get the chain chomp star. Its REALLY close but theres a small area where you can ground pound the very edge of the post without collecting a coin. Took a lot of attemots though and i cant do it consistently, but my god did it feel good when i got that star without the coin or glitches

11:28 Nico: **enters star door** Wario: *You want fun? W A R I O S H O W Y O U F U N !*

Really enjoying these coinless vids Nico :D

Try beat super Mario odessy without collecting coins PLZZZZ!!!

I actually like Wet-Dry World quite a bit! It's definitely the most "abstract" course of the bunch (minus the flooded town, you'd have no idea what that place even is), but there are quite a few cool challenges in there.

4:44 did nobody notice that he collected the coin?

8:28 Just before PETA could see

his narration is priceless 😂 i love when he calls them dirty coins

Nico: "Rainbow Ride is probably one of the hardest levels in any Mario game ever" World 8-3, Plinko Pinball Machine, Grandmaster Galaxy, and Darker Side: *am i a joke to you?*

6:00 RIP PINGU

6:01 Can we get -5 coins guys?

5:24 Did you forget to go back for that one? Also, you can totally get that without the metal cap by just... swimming into it. It's hard, but do-able. 8:13 The bunny's name is actually MIPS, named after the N64's processor. 11:03 Pretty sure you have to ground pound the pillars in the DS remake. 11:16 The secrets can actually just BARELY be grabbed without the coin, but it requires jumping onto them and kicking at the perfect moment. 15:23 The slide can be skipped entirely by jumping backwards off the platform with the Chuckya and diving into the star area.

True impossible challenge: beating Super Mario Odyssey while collecting no coins.

11:31 Ow, although the level name made it much funnier

**DEMONETIZED** There- Now you don’t have to touch any of that dirty money anymore! -

In this video I'll explaining exactly what I do to collect Watch For Rolling Rocks with 0.5 coins, but first we need to clear something up, because every time I do a coin less run I always get the same comments over and over asking what it means. Even though, I always have a whole paragraph in the description explaining it. With even starts with, "If you're wondering what a coin less run is, read this before commenting to ask." But maybe what guys need isn't a paragraph, maybe you guys need an example. So, consider Wing Mario Over The Rainbow, not even the whole star, just consider getting to that cannon platform, which is a necessary part of getting the star. So how many coins does it take to get there? Well, if you say 0, that's wrong, because then Mario can't go far enough. If you say 1, well it's true Mario can get there with 1, but we can do a little better. We can do it in half a coin collection. To do that we simply start the level with 1 coin already in the counter, and then we use that coin to reach the platform. Now hold on, I know what you're thinking, "A coin grab is a coin grab. You can't say it's only a half." Well, SMM "Mayro" Gaming, hear me out. A coin grab actually has three parts to it, when the coin is collected, when the coin is held, and when the coin is released. And together this forms one complete coin grab. Now usually, it's the grabbing that useful, because that's the only part that adds coins to the counter. However, sometimes it's sufficient just to use the holding part which allows Mario to do little kicks, to swim in water, to fall slowly while twirling, and to fall slowly with the wing cap, and for the release. Well, there's currently no case where that's useful or important, so don't worry about that part. Now if we map out the required coin grabs for Wing Mario Over The Rainbow, it would look like this. We merely need to hold a coin to reach the cannon platform, we need to collect a coin to launch from the first cannon, and we need to collect another coin to launch from the second cannon.

8:29 this part of the tape has been removed due to animal abuse

4:25 "Let's grab that owl in the tree and drop into the cage containing the-uh, um, I said drop into the Cage containing a Star." Best fail from 2018. Great job, NicoBBQ. Thrilling gameplay. Lol.

I don't even play Mario but I love your videos, keep the good work!

10:07 SHIFTY Sand Land

6:00 Peace was never an option

11:18 I just came from a Pannen video. The hitboxes for the activators are actually a bit above the coins so you can get another star. But you beat the game anyway so it doesn't matter that much.

7:03 are we just not gonna talk about this and how he sounds like mickey mouse??

I want coinless Mario Odyssey...

love what you did! technically, collecting coins is stealing in this game! the coins belong to peach! the coins are in her castle!

Nico "money sucks" Us- donates money by becoming a member"

No but you can beat it while touching only 0.5 coins

A coin is a coin. You can't say its only a half.

Has 69 stars Comment Section: *Nice*

"Impressive time of 20.6 seconds" Me "IS 20.9 SECONDS A JOKE TO YOU"

7:04 is an amazing impression. Mad respect

I love how he's talking like we're going to go out and try this. Also Wet Dry Land is the greatest level.

11:30 My favorite SM64 stage, Dire Dire Ducks

Me: *watches 5 seconds through the video* Ahhhhh... this is such a good video!” KZfaq: DID YOU SAY AD?! Ad: *STAHP RIGHT THER!!!*

12:15 Awesome "Ghost Star Peace Sign" 😎😎😎

Pannenkoek already listed all the stars that can be done coinless: 84 of them.

*It is possible to get the star behind Chain Chomp's gate without touching that red coin on top of the wood:* you have to pick up a small Bob-Omb, then jump and throw it, then grab it again while it's in mid-air to make it look really really fat. The Bob-Omb should give you infinite momentum backwards. Use this backwards momentum to clip through the gate as you throw the Bob-Omb. I know you can't do that glitch because you didn't allow it in your challenge, but I'm pretty sure we can do it!

Crush: Nice weather. Me: thanks. Also me:6:53

Wow a notification that is actually on time

11:18 those coins are normal coins with a hitbox that counts the secrets, but the hitbox of the coin is smaller than the hitbox of the secrets

I actually beat it countless myself, thanks for the idea nico

5:59 S-seriously Mario!? I guess that happens if you make Mario broke during the games :/

Well pannenkoek kinda did this perfectly already

Wow, the neweemr games are practically impossible coinless while the old ones are pretty easy thus way. I guess Nintendo in a attempt to make the games more accesible giving more chances for an extra life they ended up unintentionally making the new games the hardest without coins.

Peach: thank you Mario let's go out for dinner Mario: umm well I kinda had to avoid coins and I have to pay ask nathaniel bandy

5:58 never got the star without doing this :)

11:18 you acually can collect the star without touching a coin because the hitbox from the secrets r bigger than the hitbox from the coins sry 4 bad english

Is it possible to beat any mario games without having fun?

The secret's hitbox actually extends above the coin, just jump into the coin from the the top, but kick before you reach the coin, and then move away from the coin, with precise timing, you can get the secrets without collecting those coins. Hope this helped! :)

"So long, Gay Bowser." That's what Mario said.

6:54 Oh no I got the coins! What do I do?! *Kills himself*

I love your content, keep it up mate 💪🏼❤️

10:07 SHIFTING sand land! Not Shifty sand land!

About over 10 years ago, a Japanese came up with the idea of "スーパーマリオ64 「コインを取らずにクリア」" (Clear Super Mario 64 without collecting any coin); sadly, I hardly saw the details... But fortunately, You made it and shared the details with us, for which I am very grateful... Thank you so much, and I am following you and your "Coinless Challenges"!

7:04 THATS WHAT HE SAYS?! I THOUGHT IT WAS GAY BOWSER

And then Nico discovers that Pannenkoek already did this a few years back.

*Fun fact:* In Super Mario N64, the coins are 2D sprites set to always face towards the camera! The same goes for Bowling Balls, Bob-Ombs, Bullies, trees, 1-ups... Even the number that appears when Mario touches a red coin is a 2D sprite facing towards the camera!

You were pretty spot on, you missed two, but that's it. You beat the game with 74, so 46 stars not gotten. You could have had 76. 30 of that is 8 red coin and 100 coin stars in each of the 15 courses. 3 for the cap stages 3 for the bowser stages 1 for the aquarium 1 for the other wing cap stage That brings us to 38 total, the rest are regular stars unobtainable due inconvenient coin placement or required coin interaction that aren't 8 reds or 100s. Chain chomp and fly through the coin rings in Bob-omb Battlefield, that's 40. You missed through the jetstream in Jolly Roger Bay, forgot to take the metal cap back or perform perfect swimming. The two slide stars and leading the snow ball in Cool Cool Mountain, that's 43. Pyramid Puzzle in Shifting Sand Land, that's 44. And finally you missed the secrets in Wet Dry World, like you said. So a perfect run would be 76 stars gotten and 44 unobtainable stars. Despite being easy that's actually cutting it pretty close considering you need 70 to beat the game.

Did.... *Did you call Blue Coins..... Purple Coins?*

Is it possible to beat a Mario game without touching the controller?

Mom: why don't you play with the neighbor kid? He seems nice. The neighbor kid: 7:02

5:58 I did that before lol

For one of these challenges we're going to have to need the Vanish Cap *Shows clip of Metal Mario*

Umm it's SO LONG GAE BOWSER!!! Who thinks he says King Bowser A person with REALISTIC expectations!?!

You can do the secrets coinless, if you do a precise mid-air kick above the coin you can get the secret but not the coin

4:24 “so let’s grab that ole in that tree” What?

18:45

At the 69 stars mark you could have just go and grab that star in DDD, the one that require metal cap, so that way you won't even have to visit Rainbow Road ever

I've been watching a lot of sm64 speedruns lately, I assume thats why his was recommended and it feels so slow. It's kinda funny

3:28 you can beat that star coinless
