8-1 no coins jump

Hi! It's a me again. I'm trying to do this jump but I can't land it: I know it's possible so why I can't walljump?

I'm pretty sure you have to bounce off the goomba as it falls

I'm doing a No coins No kills No power-ups TAS, so no i'm going for walljump

Then it looks like you are short a pixel from being able to walljump. That is what it seems like at least

Maybe it's got something to do with your subpixels?

I thought that at first but it still looks a pixel short to me

I don't think what you're trying is possible in 8-1 - I could be wrong, but look up any run for no coins category extension

This is the world record no coins run. I imagine if it were possible to just do a wall jump there he would have. Instead he has to move the screen as far right as possible to spawn the Goomba on the other side of that chasm and then do a long jump on him to bounce kill him to make the jump.

Unfortunately I think your no kills no coins run might not be possible because of this spot.

From what I can tell, the gap is too big to be able to get a wall jump pixel while still staying under those coins.

Hopefully I'm wrong. Good luck.

skip to 2:49 here you can see the TAS does a walljump, so it's possible.

Like what python said, you can wait for the gommba and stomp on it. OR you can find the walljump pixel and perform a walljump there.

@Mars02 I just can't find it, that's why I asked you. I tried jumping early, jumping at the last pixel. Changing my subpixels but nothing seems to work.

@B1GEY3DPYTH0N If I jump a frame later, I fall. If I jump a frame longer, I collect a coin. So I think I'm fine. Maybe it's my subpixels, I don't have big knowledge about subpixels.

Try just pressing left for 1 frame, it changes the subpixels, so just keep going until you get lucky. Hope this helps.

Alright i'll try. I'm not the luckiest person so I might pass 3h on it. Thanks

I've made a TAS that has done it, so it is definitely 100% possible. You just have to make adjustments and mess with button presses until you find something that works. I think what I did was press left for a few frames for the backward jump to perform walljump.

I was wrong then - I guess it's not done in the "no coins" WR run because it's difficult to do with subpixels. Although if you could find out a setup that works for getting the pixel for RTA, you could shave several seconds off that WR run for no coins category extension

Good luck

Also, it'd be great if you also mention what you did to get the right subpixels when you do get them. I might actually try it RTA

@Darpey @hitzcritz I'll TAS some "easy setups" (no 1 frame left press or whatever) and I'll post it, I'm 100% sure there's an easy setup RTA possible

Hey! After 37 minutes I found 1! And it's really easy
