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.

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.
