First try! 😎

I got 79 because I used the Canon at the Start to fly to the Koopa Shell. Really fun Challenge btw.

if anyone else had this problem, the moneybags always seem to break your shell if you hit them while they're spawning in. so wait for them to be fully visible first.

i was left with 74 because i missed like 3 coins, 75 coins is fucking ridiculous and this should be at most 70-65 coins

The hardest part of this achievement is spinning around the snowmen. The camera can make killing them and grabbing their coins torturous.

whatever you do don't press crouch on the shell when you're at 70 coins (this happened to me D:

I accidentally grabbed the red coins star more times than i'd like to admit

I can’t do this ): been trying for days, it is the last one I need

I know it was probably easier to do it without duplicating moneybags but doing so is so fun

I thought I was missing some big stash of coins when I saw this coin count, but watching the video... it really is just being absurdly precise and collecting every single coin possible. -_-

Btw if you lose the shell you have to start the level over to try again

miserable cheivo

Annoying cheevo, you have to be real careful. If you use the cannon to get to the shell it's easy to not pick up any coins before obtaining the shell.

Assuming you're not doing Money Bags duplication, from my experience, you can skip either one Snowman or one Spindrift and still get the cheevo and still be okay as long as you collect everything else possible. My choice was to skip the Snowman near the ledges, they're all awkward to kill but that was the worst one for me.

A few tips:
You can lure one of the Spindrifts in the water to the ledge by where the ice blocks stop to collect coins from that.
Collect the 8th red coin near the end just in case you accidentally run into the star and lose your run.
Money Bags will knock you off your shell if you collide with it before it has fully spawned in.

It took me a few tries (including a painful one where I got to 73 and bonked into a Snowman) but it's just about being patient and methodical about the movements.

I don't know what my favourite part of this achievement is. Is it the incredibly strict margin for error? Memorising the position of every snowman so they don't pop out of the floor before you can even react? Luring underwater Spindrifts onto a piece of land that is chock full of collision issues? The fact that even when you do that, the coins can just fall into the water and render the achievement impossible anyway? People deciding that enemy cloning is the best solution, despite that being a glitch that should be kept to a subset? It's a real tour de force.

Got it second try with 80 coins

This one isn't that bad as long as you remember one key thing: take your time. The shell lasts forever as long as you don't crash into anything and you only need to speed up to spin around the snowmen. You may want to do them first and then take your time collecting the others going at the minimum speed so the shell is easier to control. Just be wary when collecting the snowman coins that they respawn quite quickly - I accidentally bumped into the respawned snowman when trying to collect the coins of the snowman I just defeated a couple of times. Took me about ten tries and I actually found it fairly fun.
