It is impossible to get true low% because there several coins that are impossible to avoid without a power-up. For example, in 1-2 after going down the pipe in the beginning there is a line of coins under the pipe in the under world. The only way to avoid this coin is to get to blue mushroom.
Actually, you can avoid the coins after the start of 1-2 as small mario. All it takes is an air stall right after coming out of the pipe. (Credit for video goes to DyllonStej)
That's a TAS and even in the video they get power ups. If the category isn't going to be removed then it should at least get a major rule change. If no one is expected to even attempt the category than why is it even on the board? It might be possible to do it with power ups but it might not even be possible without them
That TAS doesn't aim to complete the game without powerups, just to get the lowest score possible.
Well i have a whole weekend in front of me and i have to do absolutly nothing so Im gonna find the amaount anyway. And if none Else will do a run in the category then i will. I hope you add it back :)
Well after finding the route and practiceing i have found some jumps that is pretty much TAS only. Because of this i will never be able to provide a run with the smallest amount of coins without grinding A LOT. This category would just be Way to hard. Im stupid that i thought it was possible. Well... on to max%!
Ya know what? If I have time tomorrow, I'm gonna attempt to find the lowest amount of coins required that is RTA viable. Judging by what you said, Kaoskarl, I guess we could maybe put a rule saying "max of {insert RTA viable coin amount here}" depending on how many close to TAS only coins there are. Unless the chances of this going back on the leaderboards are close to 0%. Then I won't bother.
