There are 74 coins outside of the Pyramid and 62 coins inside the pyramid for a combined maximum of 136 total coins for this score. The max can be raised using the [[Breaking-Disappearing Cork Box Glitch]], which allows collection of infinite coins.

Near one of the four pillars, there is a crazy box nearby, which Mario can grab at the right moment to touch Klepto once the crazy box is at its peak. Mario then grabs the star.

Using the same crazy box, Mario aims towards the top of the pyramid instead and swiftly grabs the star there. Even without this strategy, the star can still be reached by twirling from a Shy Guy and then walking up the pyramid while burned by a Keronpa Ball.

The biggest obstacle is to get to Eyerok's boss fight without pressing A. To do so, Mario needs to get on top of the wire mesh to access the teleporter via wrong-warping (the teleporter is intended to be one-way, but it can be activated by standing on a slightly higher ground). That way, Mario can enter the room from above, normally accessed by standing on top of the four pillars and riding down on the elevator.

To get onto reach the wire mesh, Mario uses a precise goomba bounce.

The most difficult red coins to collect is the four midair red coins, one of which being closest to Mario is the hardest to get, as it is not far enough to be reached by a shy guy or a crazy box alone. The extra tornadoes do not spawn until this star is completed. However, with better strategies manipulating a Shy Guy, Mario can get it to appear at the right location and keep it at a lunging state with the crazy box's bounce, allowing it to move higher than intended. Mario then bounces on it from the peak of the crazy box, collecting the red coin while twirling. Without this strategy, Pokey clones would have been required.

The remaining red coins in the air can be collected using a combination of tornadoes and shy guys. The location where the star is spawned is almost off-limits for Mario to reach as it requires a shy guy that is used up for the first coin. The fastest way for Mario to collect it is to clone the star. Nonetheless, even without cloning, Mario can still reach the high platform by precisely bouncing on a goomba and a pokey <ref>SSL Red Coins 0x Alternative Star Collect: https://youtu.be/RYUcbaHst8E</ref>.

Just like Inside the Ancient Pyramid, navigating up the pyramid from the bottom (standard) entrance to the top costs 1 A Presses<ref name=":0" /> using known strategies, but it is faster to complete by entering the pyramid from the top. Unfortunately, the barriers around the elevator are 7 units too high for a dive recover to clear, and therefore an A press must be used to jump out of the elevator. After jumping from the elevator, Mario just collects all the secrets and collects the star.
From the standard entrance, going to where the secrets are located costs 1 A Press<ref name="SSL A"/> using known strategies, and therefore it is much faster to enter the pyramid from the top, since using the 1 A Press strat from the bottom entrance requires the 100 coin star. However, jumping out from the elevator requires an A press, as a dive recover is incapable of escaping it.

Collecting various coins. Mario can opt to clone the box for more coins and eventually reach 100 coins without having to enter the pyramid.
In a full game run, the 100 coin star would have been collected when completing ''Stand Tall on the Four Pillars''. Nonetheless, if the star is done in isolation, Mario can opt to clone the box for more coins and eventually reach 100 coins without having to enter the pyramid.

In the [[CCC Challenge]], excluding coin missions, all stars can be collected. ''Pyramid Puzzle'' requires precise jump kicks over the five coins to collect the secrets without touching the coins.
