SMW challenge from WarofClayPruitt: Clear ten levels as Fire Mario with only spin jumps and without killing any enemies. Along the way, I should get lots of coins and points. Also, entering the bonus game is forbidden.

A couple of notes on this challenge: If I hit an enemy with fire and it becomes a coin, it isn't dead unless I collect the coin. And believe me, I will "coin" a lot of enemies! Also, if I take a hit, I'm not finished as long as I can quickly get another fire flower (having a reserve flower helps).

This challenge is real tricky, since spin jumping causes Fire Mario to automatically spit out fireballs, but if I can just avoid the coins the enemies become, I'll be fine most of the time. I gotta be careful of Chucks, though. They don't become coins, and if I hit them too much, they die right away. Also, I have to watch out for enemies near the goal points, and make sure none are on the screen as I clear a level.

Since I'm shooting for coins and points without kills, I will be going after the Yoshi Coins. Also, I go a little out of my way for some extra lives, too, but they weren't necessary. I don't bother with most side areas, though, since I didn't want to take all day. And since the bonus game is banned, I decide to avoid picking up any bonus stars.

Level music:
Chocolate Island 1: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - Exercise Mode

Star World 5: Salamander (Life Force NES) - Starfield
Other music:
P-switch: Marble Madness - Practice Race

Note: This was not a bad challenge, but I think I'm getting weary of challenges that span several levels. They take a very long time for me to edit, upload, and annotate. Now I'm not saying you can't include more than one level in a challenge, but please try not to go crazy!

So let's look at the math for this challenge:
Fire Mario only + Spin jumps only + No kills = Me dodging a lot of moving coins!
Creativity: 7.5
Difficulty: 8
I look forward to the next challenge!
