There is already a pacifist and coinless category, generally it seems like a good idea to refrain from making meme categories with similar goals to another meme to prevent from the memes getting bland and unoriginal. i suggest running pacifist or coinless instead. and in a speedun grabbing an item is slower and harder when it comes to not grabbing coins (due to larger hitbox)

That 4-1 is so cringy x)

I've been streaming attempts at replicating this video using Speedrunning techniques. Here are a few things that I drew from it:

1. I can smooth out the 4-1 that PMniac said was cringy. By that, I mean that the level can be performed with one continuous run, only jumping when necessary

2. 4-2 is a real pain in the ¤¤¤ to get on the vine (I think that the jumps required once the vine is out is frame perfect). I don't think that even attempting the wrong warp in the level would help ease it.

3. This was largely done glitchless (the one area where any form of glitching is performed is 8-4 and that was to avoid a coin on the pipe-jump.

So any attempts to perform this category using speedrunning techniques CAN and WILL reduce the overall time as shown in the video, HOWEVER, I do like to stress that there will be some areas in the game where you will have to sacrifice time and speed for accuracy, so be careful.

I've run Any% No Coins quite a bit, which I guess is mostly what you would do in a no coins pacifist run. My best run is here:

The 4-2 wrong warp shouldn't be a problem. I'm shit at the elevator bump, so I go the top route, but either way it should be pretty easy to get 3 bumps after avoiding the goombas.

I haven't experimented much with the pit wall jump on 8-1. Is there a consistent setup for it?

You can wall jump, supposedly, off the far edge of the pit. The original video did this at the expense of 2 lives. Not sure if there are other techniques to get over that pit though.
