PurpleSun | [TAS] SMG: Honeyhive Cosmic Mario Race: High Score - 8 Coins @PurpleSunTAS | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
HEYimHeroic (twitter.com/HEYimHeroic) asked if I could get as many coins as possible in Honeyhive's cosmic clone race with both bros.
7 is the record, attained by 5 people on Cyberscore and a few more not on that site including Heroic herself.
But there is an eighth coin: a starbit plant atop the waterfall.
With the power of TAS strats, it is possible to get this coin and still win with some time to spare.
This spare time was spent slowly sliding down a wall, and moving about in honey.
Interestingly, if you touch the star on the frame the cosmic clone sits on it (5 frames after it has touched it), it counts as a successful star grab and prevents the clone's victory cutscene. The game is literally rigged in your favour... by 5 frames.
Side note: because Cosmic Luigi is fast, the current best Luigi count is 7. When testing, I barely had enough time to even grab the 8th coin before Cosmic Luigi won.
