I think that you should collect blue coins only once and not twice (like in 1000/500 coins).
So if I was to get both stars in PSS, I’d only need to collect the blue coins in one of the stars?
Ok cool thanks. The reason I was worried was because the WR holder avoided using similar optimisations. Hopefully a mod will confirm
I guess what you mean is something like enter level, get plant coins and then cannonless, reenter level, get the switch coins and then wild blue. This would not be allowed, as the rules state "All blue coins in a given stage must be collected in one segment and you must get a star after all blues have been collected.". One segment means you have to enter the level, get all blues, then get a star. Reentering the level to get another star will not require you to collect the blue coins again, though.
So if I were to do wild blue and collect every blue coin, then come back and do cannonless it would be allowed?
