The '''Coinless/Capless/Cannonless Challenge''', CCC for short, is a challenge in which the player must not use the cannon and caps and never collect a single coin, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis. As many missions often seemingly force Mario to collect some of the coins along the way, there are many techniques required to work around them. | The '''Coinless/Capless/Cannonless Challenge''', CCC for short, is a challenge in which the player must not use the cannon and caps and never collect a single coin, whether on a per-mission or a per-file basis.

There are 77 stars that are considered possible in RTA (Real Time Attack), where TAS-only tricks are not included. In a single-star basis, one more star can be collected, namely, ''[[Snowman's Lost His Head]]''. This is because the mission is not selectable unless the 8 red-coin mission is completed beforehand. | There are 77 stars that are considered possible in RTA (Real Time Attack), where TAS-only tricks are not included.
