I thought I'd go ahead and enumerate the stars that had to be skipped in this run (75 were collected at the end so 45 were left out):
Special (8) - The Secret Aquarium, Wing Mario over the Rainbow, and the Bowser and Cap levels, because all of them are 8-coin stars
Each of the 15 courses has an 8-red-coin star and a special 100-coin star (obviously those 30 were verboten) and the others skipped were...
Course 1, Bob-omb Battlefield (1) - Mario Wings to the Sky, because it cannot be done without the Wing Cap (though I guess if you try real hard you can do it without a cannon and trigger the five targets without getting a coin as in Pyramid Puzzle over in Course 8, Shifting Sand Land...)
Course 4, Cool Cool Mountain (3) - Slip Slidin' Away, Big Penguin Race, and Snowman's Lost His Head, probably because there's no way to avoid running into coins somewhere along the way (EDIT: Snowman requires the other two but by itself is a CCC star)
Course 5, Big Boo's Haunt (1) - Eye to Eye in the Secret Room, because that requires the Vanish Cap
Course 9, Dire Dire Docks (1) - Collect the Caps, because it requires the Vanish Cap (and probably the Metal Cap depending on how fast you can swim tool-assisted)
Course 10, Snowman's Land (1) - Into the Igloo, because you can't avoid coins on the way (EDIT: because you need the Vanish Cap)
I also thought I'd make a concise table summarizing the results. The 0 row is the row of special stars, arranged in roughly the order of appearance, the 7 row is the row of 100-coin stars, and the other rows are for the corresponding stars in each of the 15 courses; a point is used for a collected star, an R is used for 8-red-coin stars, a Y (for yellow, the normal color of coins) is used for all other coin run-ins, and a C is used for unavoidable uses of caps:
0123456789ABCDEF
0..RRRR.R.R..R.R
1...Y...........
2.....R.........
3...Y..R.R..R..R
4RRRRR..........
5C..Y...R.RR.R..
6....C...CC...R.
7YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Also the column headings are in hex because I'm 1EE7 like that.
IMO, the use of glitches to avoid most uses of the cannon, by itself, made this a good TAS.
