Tutorial
Eye Late Example (Most Common Route)
36900 / 65114 RNG values work (56.67%) in making the blue coin fall off the platform. It falls off directly towards the star about 2% of the time.
Alternate Ending
One option you have to ensure that the blue coin from the eye doesn't despawn is to swap the order to the 7th and 8th red coins. The drawback of this route is that it's more difficult to react to the blue coin rng since you won't know if the coin is going to fall until you approach the eye platform. In general, if the blue coin falls, this route usually loses time to the standard movement.
Eye Early Example
Easier Red Coins
Early spider cycle is when the spider before the 6th red run towards you after you ground pound the 5th red. If you aren't fast enough, the spider won't be there to run towards you, so you should get the 6th red before the spider, as shown in the video below.
