What I expected: An April fools joke video where Nico says why he'll never beat this game coinless What I actually got: Just a nice, casual challenge of Nico actually beating this game coinless
It’s funny how it’s possible to not only touch every single coin, but also possible to not touch every single coin, in a game where coins are the main focus. That is actually a new record for the new super Mario bros series! Since ds, wii, and u did not have this treatment for the most part
For this run, if you collect a coin and die, or somehow get good enough, you'll need to exit out to the home menu before the run is permanently tainted…
you sick bastard, you finally did it. finally, after all the waiting, we got it. nico sacrifiing his soul to the deepest chambers of hell, trying to beat nsmb2 without a single coin.
Spoilers in case y'all haven't finished the video lol . . . . . . . Wow, so Bandy beat the game collecting every (possible) coin, and Nico beat the game avoiding every coin. So cool to see that the game can be done both ways!
Gamechamp3000 did this almost 4 years ago, and in that video he said he saw a video after he completed it that did the same thing a year before him. so there were videos about it.
For a game that’s literally about collecting coins, this challenge looked fairly easy. And I was expecting Nico to fail the first level, but nope, he proved that’s it’s possibility to beat the game without touching a coin.
This game is so underrated, the coin gimmick is different and it makes the game even more fun sometimes, I don't know why I love collecting coins so much but I just do. 😀
I've looked through the video and I can't find any credit or anything. Edit: Yeah, literally no credit. Nico, add a link or something to the description at least.
I feel like the designers of this game purposefully made it so you can beat it without coins, there's just too many close calls and lucky moments for it to be a coincidence
It's actually interesting that, unlike New Super Mario Bros. 1 which isn't all about coins, New Super Mario Bros. 2, which is all about collecting coins, is beatable without collecting any coins
Congratulations, Nico for beating New Super Mario Bros 2 WITHOUT touching all coins! 👍 Do you think that you can beat Coin Rush WITHOUT touching all the coins?
tbh i was waiting for the april fools prank, but gg's nico for actually giving this a go seeing as this game is pretty much made of coins, respect u bro

Pro tip If you want to have even a semblance of a chance at beat New Super Mario Bros 2 with as few coins as possible. Avoid the gold rings and the gold flower power-up.
I did not expect this game to be possible out of all the nsmb games. I thought you were going to fail right at the very beginning. but now you have to try out the rest of the levels to see what is possible, good luck >:)
Is it just me, or most mario games are made for this challenge? When you think about it, whenever Nico is stuck, there are almost always secret exits not too far back. Also, Nico... u are coiN!
Watching this high asf is hilarious! Got me intrigued cause you make it seem like it’s impossible but then figure it out like a boss lol. Those mini mushrooms come in clutch 🙏🏽🤣
Nintendo employee: Hey boss there is a TH-camr that is trying to beat our Mario games without touching a coin. I'm tired seeing him break the physics of the Mario games! Shigeru Miamoto: Don't wory he will never get passed this one.
100% honesty: I thought Nico would’ve touched a coin on the first level and failed right off the bat. He lasted longer than I thought he would.
I know and somehow it’s possible
Nico: You dare underestimate me?
That's what she said
@@jaxond9736 I just had to open my mouth
Here’s the part where you say the exact same thing
Gamechamp already did this
Nico: beats bowser
Nico: doesnt get a trophy
Nico: that wasnt the final boss?

So true

I thought I was the only one that noticed
you got april fooled

Finally, I know Nico has had nightmares about this. Finally glad to see him face his fear

When I first saw this video I thought it must be an April Fools, but no Nico has finally attempted this challenge!
That might've been the April fool's, everyone didn't expect him to actually do it lol
@@SadGirlSunset shit you are right-
So, the un-uttered but all around believed myth was an April Fools all along? #plottwist
I love how the credits are much harder to beat than bowser
Woah, I never thought this would be possible! I also never thought a credits scene could be the hardest part of a game!
What I expected: An April fools joke video where Nico says why he'll never beat this game coinless

The trick was that there was no trick.

VG myths?
@@funwithcoding2818 VG myths.
I saw another youtuber try and beat this challenge earlier even avoiding the end credits coins. The youtuber was Gamechamp3000 but this was also great
iirc she was like one of the first to even do any game coinless
@@imjustmrks2554 I'm pretty sure hers were more about jumpless runs at first as opposed to countless, this is her only coinless one
No Ceave Gaming started the challenge, Mayro and Gamechamp carried it on, and NicoBBQ decided to focus on finishing up all the games countless.
I feel like NSMB2 developers knew someone was going to be crazy enough to try this challenge.
This was the game I would've least expected to be possible to beat without touching a coin.
1:53 Using those Fireballs,we can now defeat Renzor without touching a single coin!
*H A P P Y*
you sick bastard, you finally did it.
finally, after all the waiting, we got it.
nico sacrifiing his soul to the deepest chambers of hell, trying to beat nsmb2 without a single coin.
Meanwhile Nathaniel Bandy: Beats this game whilst touching ALL COINS!
I thought this would be impossible
I think he should do a “how many levels can I go in endless mode without getting a single coin?” In Mario maker 2

It’s the ULTIMATE without a coin challenge! The FINAL BOSS of Nico’s coinless quest is at hand! (Lol I invented a new game)
when the final boss is easier than the rest of the game 💀
@@weirdmansamuraioflegend1238 lol exactly
9:15 I feel like this level was crafted with this challenge in mind.
Nathaniel: I'll be collecting ALL coins
Nico: I'll be collecting NO coins
Interesting, both of you were afraid of this one but beat it.
Now this is what I've been waiting for
i like how he calls them "yucky coins" sometimes
its just funny to me
And he sounds like a little kid when he says it.
@@Goliushi when a kid eats a coin and hates it
This was the only No coins Mario challenge I wanted to see since like 2 years ago, and it’s finally here, took a while…
Worth it tho

Yeah, but I wanted to see Nico do it

Stupendous job, dude.
Bruh Gamechamp3000 did this exact challenge 3 years ago.
Time to watch the same challenge again and enjoy every second of it.
I thought i saw this exact video before...
I've looked through the video and I can't find any credit or anything.
Edit: Yeah, literally no credit. Nico, add a link or something to the description at least.
@@Knightros He doesn't need to, he didn't steal anything from him
I'm so glad this wasn't an April fool's joke
Nico: Mini-mushroom is one of the worst power-ups EVER!
Nico in this video: Mini-mushrooms are SO IMPORTANT!
At 3:16 that mountain looks kinda sus
I feel like the designers of this game purposefully made it so you can beat it without coins, there's just too many close calls and lucky moments for it to be a coincidence
I hope this series continues!
It WOULD have been impressive, IF game champ 3000 hadn't done this exact challenge THREE YEARS prior.
New Super Mario Bros 2 was the first Mario game I played and I call it when Mario becomes rich af sim.
As Sakurai once said: "No, this isn't how you're supposed to play the game!"
It actually kinda is! Fun fact!
He forgot the intro, where mario collects coins without the user's control, which makes his mission pointless.
Finally, i wanted to ask you for this for 2 years or something, and at last, my dreams come true, amazing video
3:23 you can literally use the mini mushroom
With Nico doing these coinless runs, playing Payday with earning the least amount of cash would be a nightmare for him
We live in a society where it’s not possible to beat NSMB2 by touching all coins, but it IS possible to beat NSMB2 by not touching a coin
I completely thought this was a joke, but he did it!!
Gamechamp3000: "I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two"
Congratulations Nico! You faced your fears and you beat it!
It's actually interesting that, unlike New Super Mario Bros. 1 which isn't all about coins, New Super Mario Bros. 2, which is all about collecting coins, is beatable without collecting any coins
I really like when Nico stucks in a place and have to think outside the box to solve the problem😃😃
it really is satisfying☺☺
Coins: exist
Nico: And I took that personally
This is an April Fools joke because GameChamp did the same thing years ago.
I have been eating for this video for a long time from you thank you Nicobbq
Congratulations, Nico for beating New Super Mario Bros 2 WITHOUT touching all coins! 👍
Do you think that you can beat Coin Rush WITHOUT touching all the coins?
I recently tried 5-Tower, and it is possible without a coin! I used a Mini Mushroom and a Fire Flower for Reznor
This shows how much Niko has improved in dodging coins in Mario games
Niko avocado?
Bro imagine nintendo watched this and gave you a big reward for this interesting challenge
It's funny because it's easier not to grab any coins than to have to grab all the coins in the game that's supposed to be about grabbing them, LOL
3:16, WHEREVER I GO, THE BEAN WITH A VISOR IS THERE...
I am shocked as HELL that you can beat this game without touching a coin, but what about the special worlds? 🧐

Coinless nico faces his fear for once in this coin game! Pog!
Gamerchamp actually has an strat for the credit level
Nico: Mario why can't you buy popcorn for the movie
Mario: Geea Ia SURE A WONDER
nico: "you'll never get me to touch a yucky coin, ghosts: uno reverse card
I just realized that if you rearrange the letters in “coin” it says nico! So does that mean that nico actually hates himself? 🤔
This has got to be the hardest challenge ever, because of the “coin gimmick”
Nico At The End: It's Over, It's Finnally Over!!! I Never Have To Touch This Cartridge Again!!!
Finally Mario learned his lesson and avoided the shiny yet deadly coins
Mr beast: every time you touch a coin, you get 1 million dollars.
Everyone:
Miyamoto and Sakurai: "This is not how you are supposed to play the game"
Pro tip If you want to have even a semblance of a chance at beat New Super Mario Bros 2 with as few coins as possible. Avoid the gold rings and the gold flower power-up.
I feel like the reason people do speedruns and coinless challenges of games is to fill the void left by the total disappearance of high score games.
This looks easy,but it's actually hard because coins are the main item/gimmick in New Super Mario Bros 2.
This is like beating Assasins Creed without killing anyone.
9:15 “You need to get to the secret exit and that is harder said than done”
Me: Isn’t it supposed to be easier said than done?
when you reach one million coins on the coin counter you get a gold mario statue on the title screen with a ton of coins around it
Shocked that this is even possible. Surely there should be a speedrun category for coinless here?
I did not expect this game to be possible out of all the nsmb games. I thought you were going to fail right at the very beginning. but now you have to try out the rest of the levels to see what is possible, good luck >:)
Nico: Shows all these 'yucky' coins
Me: 😋🤑
9:17 “harder said then done” that makes sense
vending machine: please insert coin nico: guess i won't be eating (insert nico's favorate chips here)
Finally, Nico thought his fear and did Mario Bros 2 without touching a coin 😄

Hey Nico, here’s a very hard challenge: Beat every Undertale ending without using gold
I was wondering when you'd get around to this one! Awesome video- was actually very surprised by the ending!
The fact that the game of coin collecting is possible but games about not collecting coins are not will be keeping me up at night.
Ikr?!
You're really good new Super Mario Brothers 2 that's a crazy game at it's all about collecting coins and you did it without touching one!
NSMB2 is a fearsome challenge for both team coin and team no coin, somehow
Watching this high asf is hilarious! Got me intrigued cause you make it seem like it’s impossible but then figure it out like a boss lol. Those mini mushrooms come in clutch 🙏🏽🤣
