So I gave 0-gold Aria a try, had a few pretty good runs (which was encouraging!), a few pretty bad runs (not so encouraging!)... and then this run.
This run didn't go as smoothly as I would've liked (ended up having to wait out the song at the end of 4-3 (which was interesting!) and ended up with no protective items by the end of 3-3 (which was a bit disheartening)). Unlike previous runs that started out better, though... I actually made it to the end of this one! =)
So here it is... my first ever 0-gold challenge Aria win! Hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:06 5-1
0:16 Explorers Boots
1:33 Mb: Earth Dragon
2:04 Leprechaun!
2:55 5-2
4:16 Glass Torch (Boss Shrine)! The boots were also really tempting... but I eventually decided that mapping and enemy vision might be end up being more useful on a run like this. ^^
4:22 Strength Charm!
4:41 Mb: Green Metrognome
5:10 Hmm, probably won't have time to check the shop. =/
5:20 5-3
6:21 Oh, Heavy Glass! Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't able to check the 5-2 shop! ^_^
6:26 Bomb, bomb, up, up, down!
6:30 Heavy Glass Armor!
8:39 Mb: Gray Minotaur
6:57 Oh right, I have no money. =p
6:59 Mb: Earth Dragon
7:59 Carrot
8:03 Z5B: Fortissimole 5 (A). Hmm, I think I'll do this the slow-but-safe way, just to be sure. ^^
8:50 Flawless! Reward: Freeze Spell! =)
9:02 4-1
9:47 Mb: Nightmare
10:09 Mb: Ogre

13:10 Hmm, it's getting kind of crowded here, so... maybe I'll just leave. ^^;
13:12 4-3
13:31 Pickaxe! =)
14:03 Mb: Blood Nightmare
14:17 Mb: The Mommy
14:23 Freeze! That wind mage was making me nervous... but now that I think about it, with Heavy Glass, I could've just ignored it at 2 tiles away. ^^;
14:26 Ow (Heavy Glass -2). =p Attacked the mage, realized I didn't want to kill it yet (the sarcophagus could send out something more troublesome instead), moved to attack the blademaster... and the freeze wore off. =p
14:28 Ack, should've gone into the shop instead of attacking the teleport mage!
14:31 Umm... well, this is a fine predicament. =p Umm, let's see... I do have food, so I could just wait out the song... or use it to protect against the blademaster. Hmm, I think I'll just wait out the song. That's a lot simpler and there's less risk of accidentally stepping on gold or losing my armor entirely. ^^;;
15:49 Wait 'til the last beat and... eat! =9
15:49 Z4B: King Conga 4 (A)

34:06 Shield! Well at least the rest of this battle should be simple enough... =p
34:10 Oh, stray gold... I guess from the dragons?
34:15 "You won! Coin Score: 0" My first ever 0-gold challenge Aria win! ^_^
