The objective of the coinless challenge is to get as many [[Power Stars|Power Stars]] in Super Mario 64 as possible while collecting no coins.
The objective of the '''coinless challenge''' is to get as many [[Power Star|Power Stars]] in Super Mario 64 as possible while collecting no coins. The use of frame perfect pausing to delay the coin counter going up or using a multiple of 256 to save the coin score as zero does not count as coinless.

All Power Stars that are not 100 Coin Stars or Red Coin Stars are obtainable in this challenge except for the case of [[Snowman's Lost His Head|Snowman's Lost His Head]] which is obtainable on a single star basis, but not a full game run. This is because you need to complete the star [[Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins|Frosty Slide for 8 Red Coins]] before you can select the Snowman's Lost His Head star and that is the only star he spawns.

*[[BoB]] - ''[[Mario Wings to the Sky]]'': [[Parallel Universe#Travel and movement|PU movement]] can be used to reach the first 4 secrets before the coins near them become tangible. Premature cloning can then be used to render one of the coins near the 5th secret inert so Mario can enter the secret's hitbox without entering the hitbox of a coin.
