Master_64's video: 11 Coins

This is a mostly-glitchless segmented playthrough of the entire game while only collecting 11 coins, which is currently the lowest amount of coins you can beat the game with. I never buy potions to get my coins down to 0 since this is boring. I could have used bandits to get my coins down lower, but this could only be done up until Hamlet, meaning you'd end up with 7 coins doing this. I don't do this since this makes the first few levels boring. Explanations for doing certain strategies: 0:11 I do a double jump here to skip using the vine, because using the vine forces you to collect coins. 1:01 I'll only bring this up once, but these bandits all have a chance of dropping a coin. This is particularly bad with the circle bandits, since we need 2 of them to not drop a coin, otherwise, your run is over. This is because when you get the hero bar box, Shrek walks around a little bit, but what he'll do is grab the coins from those 2 certain bandits while walking in the cutscene. I got very lucky and only 1 of the pointless bandits dropped a coin. 2:21 I do a lag bounce to prevent landing on a coin you would otherwise be forced to collect. You can also do a triple jump to skip this, but I did a lag jump instead because why not. 2:59 Doing laps around these trees prevents you from getting stuck in an attack animation on your final hit that would kill a tree. This is bad since these trees throw coins to you on death in any normal case. 3:58 We have to take this long out-of-bounds route in order to bypass collecting a coin at the very end of the level. The coin I'm referring to is the coin in front of the button at the end, which you must hit under most cases. 5:45 Taking the golden leaf forces you to hit a coin. While you could lag bounce to prevent this, you can also do a triple jump, which looks better. 9:39 We skip the pipe since this would force you to collect 2 coins. 10:45 By rubbing the wall, you can bypass the coin in the corner of the vent. This means we only collect 4 of the 5 coins in the vent, which is nice, since there is currently no known way to bypass these coins. 11:24 Doing a combo attack here breaks the vent so we can jump over the coin. 14:37 We do a double jump here to get on top of this house in order to pull the last lever. We can't pull the first lever since this has a coin right next to it. 14:50 You can skip collecting the last coin by rubbing up against this certain corner of the well. Normally you collect the last coin since the hitboxes get larger with distance. 14:58 For the first frame of every level, you are capable of jumping. You can prebuffer this by pressing the jump button while the loading text appears. This skips a coin you'd otherwise collect by falling. 15:08 By looking away from the jump magnet, you don't do an auto jump, which would otherwise force you to collect a bunch of coins. 15:57 I walk around the entire pond so I don't have to take any auto jumps to hit a coin by accident. I could look away from the jump magnets, but this way is much easier. 16:51 We skip jumping through the chimney since this isn't required. Some beginners might think that there is a barrier there, but there isn't. 18:36 No matter what you do, you'll always collect these 3 coins in the elevator. You could do an event delay on the switch to stand anywhere on the platform you want, but this doesn't matter since the collision size of the coins are made much larger than they should be. 18:48 Doing a lag bounce here skips a bunch of coins you'd otherwise be forced to collect. 18:57 These coins are deceptively easy to collect, so we do wide double jumps around them. 19:09 I do strafe jumps to bypass hitting any jump magnets that would force me to collect more coins. 19:20 Every single platform here has a jump magnet, so strafe jumping is required for basically every jump. The first row of stone platforms is the hardest since the collision of the coins are much larger than they should be. 19:47 Doing a lag bounce here bypasses a button that forces a coin and also bypasses the coin you're forced to collect at the top of this area. 20:06 Doing a deadstop here prevents you from hitting the coins that you normally get thrown into. 20:21 Again, we do strafe jumps to prevent hitting any of the coins due to an auto jump. 22:10 I ride the edge of this platform so I don't collect the coin in the middle (which is very easy to hit for some reason). After we ride the platform, we do a double jump onto the pipe and collect 2 coins. Currently, there is no known way to not collect these 2 coins. 22:25 More strafe jumps to prevent collecting coins. 23:25 We're forced to collect another 2 coins since we can't bypass the ladder. These are the last coins we'll ever collect. 24:51 Even more strafe jumps to prevent collecting coins. 26:27 I strategically hit the red planks and not the coin boxes in order to not accidentally pickup a coin from one of the coin boxes. 27:43 Same thing here, where we break the red planks only.
