Help! Not enough coins to buy moons
5 years ago
Arizona, USA

My least favorite part of the run is that I die too much to buy the moons and then I go get the closest moon I can think of without good strats for it, when it happens it feels really off from the run. Any known routes for avoiding buying stars completely in any%? (Without doing even harder routes)

Doing seaside before snow is roughly the same speed, so that can allow you to grab the necessary coins to buy the moon in snow. Other than that, my only suggestion would be to practice a lot so that you don't die much, thus allowing you to keep those coins.

I would rather have a fun time going fast then worry about this until I get better to be honest. Deaths can happen in such a large amount of places I don’t know when that would change with pure segmented practice alone.

For me, I began getting fewer and fewer deaths pretty quickly, sticking mostly to more comfortable strategies for the most part. I don't have official times for these moons, but to switch out the Wooded Kingdom shop moon, I might use the room with the fire bro (it's used in 2p) and place it right before the underwater pipe room moons. For Snow, I would probably do the shards moon in the upper right room.

What is your current PB ? If not sub 1:20 I highly recommend grabbing both coin stacks in sphinx room and jaxi ruins chest . That should give you approximately 400 coins for the run. You only need to buy 2 moons . If you are still low on coins I really dont know what to say TBH

I’ll try those out thank you :) PB is currently 1:32

After thinking about it, I realized that a better snow route without shop moon would also cut out the secret in the Rango room and get two of the moons in the upper right room.

Do you play 1.2? If so, right below the pool moon in metro' you can get the Luigi hint art, checkout GameXPlain' s video on finding the new hint art for details.
