Noki Doki | Red Coins in Ricco Tower – 0x A Presses [H/R] @NokiDoki | Uploaded April 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I collect the Ricco 9 Shine without pressing the A button, using only the Hover and Rocket Nozzles.
While it is possible to enter and navigate the secret area without the Rocket Nozzle, the third and fourth red coins are way too high to reach 0x A with the Hover Nozzle. As for the rest of the red coins, the Rocket Nozzle actually makes them harder to get: you need to charge rockets while keeping up with the platforms’ rotation, the rocket gets cancelled if you stop running at the wrong time, and if you thought of using a ground pound to lock your position once you’re above a coin, you’ll discover soon enough that Mario ground pounds in a diagonal and falls to his death.
