Here I complete Super Mario Bros. without grabbing any coins.
  • In 1-1, I didn't use the warp pipe because I would have to grab the coins to get through it quickly.
  • In 4-2, I used the vine because if I used the alternate pipe glitch, I would have had to grab the coins at the beginning of the level.
  • In 8-1, I have to make the Goombas come walk towards me so that I can jump on them to avoid grabbing the coin just before the three piranha plants.
  • In 8-3, I didn't do the flagpole glitch because that would result in the time being 243 giving me fireworks.
Sorry if I didn't explain things well. This is my first submission.

FractalFusion: Good first submission, some_pickles. However, we have many branches for Super Mario Bros. already, and this run is too similar to a normal TAS, apart from the couple tricks it does, maybe another if going through the wall in 1-1 underground works. If there were many more places where the presence of coins forces a person to be creative, then that would be good.
I'm rejecting the run. Better luck on your next project.
