I was confident the rest is gonna be easy. After all i stocked up on lives in 3-1.
So I could indefinitely try to pass hammer bros / Bowser.
So first canon shots a bullet bill. I jump over it to land on a second one which came immediately after.
Really disgusting.
As for the hammer bros. I'm confident I can pass them. After playing this hack:
https://retroachievements.org/game/10349
There is also a level were you get no power ups and have to pass 4 bros.
Now thanks to coin collector breezing through 8-1 and 8-2 was no big issue (Pro tip in 8-2 you can run and jump on most of the canons to pass the really hard bits).
In 8-3 I passed the first two hammer bros and despawned them. Then grabbed the Mushroom.
Pass Hammer bros 3.4,5,6 all below.
For 7 and 8 I used damage boost by accident and went through the castle big.
Then the rest is easy if you pass the hammer bro and bowser when they jump.
Also the bullet bills are legit annoying, you will accidentally jump on one on total accident.
Bullet bill shot intervall? Random!
Hammer bros hammer throws? Random!
Hammer bros jumping intervall? Seems to be random too.
Sure there are paths you can take to minimize the randomness but to a certain extent its still there.
And if you fail you have to start from 8-1 again which is just a really long level without much going on...
ADVISE FOR 8-3: After the first set of hammer bros you have to jump on stairs leading down. After you are on the stairs, advance the screen just enough to despawn the hammer bros. You should still have the last blocks of the two rows of bricks on your screen. The second to last brick on the top row has a mushroom in it which you can now grab without much danger. Just make sure it doesnt fall into the pit!
Alright, now off to the coin collector challenges.
But yeah it can still happen in 8-3 that you randomly hit one. it canbe avoided by walking until you are near them.
Some tips: 8-1, just run. 8-2, do "parkour" over the cannons and no bullet bill will hit you. To do this, whenever Mario touches the surface of the ground or the cannon, release the directional pad and jump, adjusting the distance of the jump while in the air. Whenever he touches the ground, release the directional pad.
8-3, yes, it is indeed possible to use the screen to take away the first two Hammer Bros., and on the penultimate upper block, there is a power up. For the second pair, just bring them to the screen, wait on the ground behind the pipe until they are also on the ground, then jump to the upper block.
Now the worst part, there are 4 Hammer Bros, which sets your chances of success with the power up to 1 in 4, in fact there is a pattern when they jump, I could notice it through the speedrun timer, but it is very complex at least for me to follow this pattern, so I went by luck, if that's the case, just jump through the 4 and hope not to get hit or hit one of them.
8-4 the only secret, after leaving the water level, is to wait for the Hammer Bro to start chasing you, being on top of the pipe you can easily dodge when he advances, if you have your power up just go past Bowser and GG.
I know this is unnecessary, but just to vent... I want to stick these HAMMERS in these beasts' โคโคโคโคโค
Its just pure muscle memory training and it has no real nuance to make it entertaining in any way, didn't feel like i achieved anything doing it, it was just an arbitrary chore/task to get out of the way.
To anyone who wants to enjoy themselves with a Mario achievement set, this achievement right here is the bane of fun and its just there to "Weed" out the so called Casual players, same with the Treasure Hunter Achievements which honestly didn't even need to be a thing.
