As we know, in Galaxy 2, collecting a coin at 0 HP will save you from losing a life and put it at 1 HP. This can happen if a coin falls on Mario or if Mario is knocked into a coin. The Co-Star Luma can also grab coins and hand them to Mario before the death triggers to prevent the Too Bad! text from popping up.
If you’re too late, you’ll collect the coin, but Mario will faint and the Too Bad! text (or GAME OVER sequence if you have 0 lives) will appear.
Using this is really strategic in Galaxy 2. It even works on the Switch 2 version…!
