THI 100 Coins

Record Information
RTA World Record	1:23.90 (with Red Coins) / 1:39.03 (with Rematch with Koopa the Quick)
Single Star World Record	1:11.38

With Wiggler's Red Coins

Easier tree grab strat (input display)

Two coins that can be used as backups for the standard route.

A backup blue coin if something horrible happens. To get back up, aim for a peak-height triple jump and hold up-left after the wallkick.

Note: The alternate and expert routes are coin-perfect, meaning you cannot miss any coins without significantly deviating from the route for backup coins.

Standard Route: Gets 13 coins at the start; uses the two beach coins as backups if needed.
Alternate Route: Gets 11 coins at the start; requires the two beach coins.
Expert Route: Gets 16 coins at the start; skips the pole coins, requires the two beach coins.

Standard Route

Note: The 13th coin is not visible; it is underneath the slope, between the 12th coin and secret. Keep walking and jump late to collect it.

Alternate Route

Expert Route (Pole Skip)

With Rematch with Koopa the Quick

These routes are risky and difficult; it is strongly recommended for beginners to perform THI100 with the red coin star.

Tiny Island

Huge Island (Faster/Harder)

Blue Coin Switch

Sideflip dive (easiest)
Long jump wallkick
Single jump kick with speed ("Sicko kick")

Lakitu and Fly Guy Manipulation

Align the camera straight with the tunnel and longjump up-left in the tunnel. Hold up-right for the second longjump and keep holding upright on the brown slope.
Do a quick single jump on the brown slope to get higher up, then A+B jumpdive. This will prevent the Fly Guy from trolling you.
The landing spot is important; you do not want go too far back or forward (see video).
After rolling out, go neutral and do a full-height single jump, then kick.
Double jump and nudge slightly towards the water before you ground pound.
