Ah... FUN.

I was confused why I only got 99 coins at the end, but turns out frog coins don't count. Make sure to collect every frog coin in the first section first before trying this.

My heart was pounding after having my first successful waterfall run! I cleared the barrel hopping section on the first try after finally getting all the waterfall section coins! best advice don't tap super fast kinda go with a smooth tapping even when u think you might not make it!

Got it! Not really fun...
Some tips:
Waterfall Section: As stated above, you need to tap A in a rhythm to swim faster, the best pattern I found was something like A.A.A..A, after 4 press Mario will fall really fast no matter what, so it's best to do three then let him fall a little and keep swimming with three presses.
River Section: I found that the pattern that you need to follow is:
Change sections in the first section
- Stay in the line 2 times
- Change the line 2 times
- Repeat this 2 and 2 pattern
Maybe it isn't 100%, but having this pattern in mind really helped me in predicting the line with the most coins, good luck!

Thank you for making me hate playing my favorite nintendo game.

As if getting the Super Suit wasn't bs enough. This is an awful achievement set for such a gorgeous game

Thank Square for acknowledging both of these feats I guess

I'm too old for this...

GOT IT. Took me maybe 2 hours. Tip for that second split, do four timed taps instead of three. It gives juuuuuust enough height to go over.

Advice for anyone who wants to smash their head into a wall: You can reset the game by pressing L+R+SELECT+START.
This first fucking cave and it's stupid god damn invisible barrier that keeps pushing me in..

Wowie, this was a tough one. For anyone that was pissed because they got 99/100, keep going! Remember, frog coins won’t count.

Normally, I see a YouTube video and I'm like "Oh, nice. This made it look easier." This time, I saw it and immediately knew. I will never get this. Props to those who did, though!

Finally got it, when I first saw this minigame I thought it would be impossible for me to get all the coins but thanks to the video wedgordo posted I was able to better understand this minigame.

My first advice is to not give up on the run when you make a mistake but take this as a way to practice later parts of the course. Check your latency options, it may make timing the presses easier. Do not be afraid to take pauses, if you see that you are getting worse pause and do something else.

Waterfall section: the first thing you need to do is learning how to "swim" as other people said you can't swim more than 4 times otherwise you'll lose height but it's not necessary to always swim 3 times, you can also swim 1 or 2 times without losing too much height.
In my opinion the most difficult part of this section is getting the coins around the first cave, this is because there's little room for errors. On the right side of the cave, when going right from above DO NOT swim 3 times if you do you are going to be pushed into the cave. When you manage to get the coin to the right of the cave you have to lose as little height as possible because the last coin could despawn.

River section: this is easier than it seems, you don't have to memorize everything, it's a simple pattern.
You start on the upper lane, you immidiately switch to the lower lane, than you stay in that lane for two set of coins and switch to the upper, and then you repeat this pattern until the end. only when you are in the upper lane you have to take the coin right before switching lanes. So the pattern goes:
-Lower (5)
-Lower (4)
-Lower (4)
-Upper (4)
with the number in brackets representing the number of coins you have to take.
Be careful when switching lanes because you will have to immidiately jump at the right time to take the coin, it will take a bit of practice to learn the timing but it shouldn't be too difficult.

This are the things I noticed that made it easier for me, hope this helps as much as it did for me and good luck with this achievement.
You can do it.

Totally worth the 5 frog coins.

This one sucks. The waterfall part is a absolute nightmare to do, not hard but extremely annoying and tiresome.

This achievement was a living nightmare, but finally unlocking the achievement after hours and hours of learning the patterns was very rewarding.

Thanks Tyiiop for the video. Saved me some time with planning the route/movement. Also thanks to the person who mentioned soft reset. Had no idea that was a thing before this.

I would say this is easier than I thought it would be. After an unfortunate 98 coin run, was able to close it out in the next. A couple times during the barrel section: I would get the coin but still unintentionally switch lanes, or miss the coin but still land on the barrel in front of me. Had to focus my eyes on the coins themselves I guess.

Either way, definitely feel like this cheevo is fair. The mobility of Mario in the waterfall section is actually pretty good if you don't spam.
