This might be against the spirit of the challenge as you laid it out, but a lot of beads can be avoided by playing in two-player mode and jumping off each other's heads! This game REALLY wasn't balanced around the fact that having two players basically gives you a double jump, especially with the fact that you can instantly put player 2 away with the angel helper to avoid them collecting beads in your wake.

31:50 It's been a while since I played this game, but I think you could avoid the beads here by doing extra damage cycles on the boss until it stops dropping beads, then landing the final hit.

In Blub Blub Ocean, you could've dodged the beads from the blocks you destroyed while Kirby was a dolphin. As you saw, the beads were affected by gravity. You could've just destroyed more blocks, since they don't let you smash straight on through - hitting them gives you a little bit of a stun.

I feel like the lost beads recollecting rule is weird, I would have just had it be that if the bead count goes down in game, it does not reduce the True bead counter. I imagine it was to make it more interesting though and to make things simpler since you would only have to tally everything up by looking at the end of the level rather than going through the whole playthrough of a level

If I had to guess it was probably less for the challenge and more for the ease of knowing the amount, since there’s a bead count at the end of the level but it’s only on hand beads so pair that with different bead sizes having different amounts it’s probably just easier to rely on the end of level counter

I think you MIGHT actually be able to shake the 500 beads from Meta Knight? I could be wrong, but I believe that bosses contain a set amount of beads, meaning that if you hit them enough times, they’ll stop ejecting beads. I don’t know if it takes from their bead total when they despawn, but if it does, then you could theoretically just hit Meta Knight until he stops making beads, THEN deal the final blow

Interesting challenge. Reminds me of the “least A presses” Mario 64 runs. (Unfortunately, due to the randomness of bead spreads, I doubt this will ever catch on as a speedrun category) I’m definitely early to this channel. Your vids are good quality, and I think the algorithm will pick them up soon. You got my sub, so keep at it! P.S. I would definitely watch a Low Bead % TAS showcase if you were to create one as a follow up. (Or maybe collab with an established TASer for that juicy cross promotion.)

Dammit, I thought of this challenge too, and was thinking about uploading a video on it for the longest time, but you beat me to the punch. I feel compelled to list my best beadless scores for each level. I tried to find a Reddit for this, so I could share it with other people who know what they are doing. (Note 1: The first number is the AMOUNT of beads I collect, as in the number shown on the streak. The second number is the WORTH of the beads, which is what blueknot kept track of.) (Note 2: I have played the other two levels in each world just to see what the minimum bead count is, even though I know you can't actually play them in a run like this.) (Note 3: I haven't kept track of boss scores) Patch Castle: 13, 48 Fountain Gardens: 10, 190 Flower Fields: 0, 0 Rainbow Falls: 0, 0 Big-Bean Vine: 0, 0 Mole Hole: 0, 0 Weird Woods: 0, 0 Pyramid Sands: 2, 6 Lava Landing: 34, 34 Cool Cave: 11, 15 Dino Jungle: 0, 0 Dusk Dunes: 9, 55 Toy Tracks: 9, 33 Mushroom Run: 2, 10 Sweets Park: 1, 5 Melody Town: 8, 12 Cocoa Station: 6, 60 Dark Manor: 9, 17 Splash Beach: 2, 10 Blub-Blub Ocean: 0, 0 Secret Island: 21, 38 Deep-Dive Deep: 4, 20 Boom Boatyard: 0, 0 Fossil Reef: 0, 0 Snowy Fields: 7, 7 Cozy Cabin: 12, 32 Mt.

I still have no idea what "plow some cotton" is supposed to sound like I think Squashini is a mix of squash (related to pumpkin) and Houdini 21:20 I feel like that's actually the most realistic part of the level (it's a hydrothermal vent) Aughhhh, Frosty Wheel is one of the few levels I actually struggled on in my playthrough I think some of the beads at 35:21 are timed, so if you wait, they might go away

i think a reasonable alternative rule on lost beads is: the goal is just to minimize beads picked up, not to minimize final bead count, so losing beads doesn’t matter in the slightest, but picking them up again after is not allowed

Nice video again! I've never played this game before, so I'd be hard pressed to find any more spots where you can avoid beads. At 14:40, I see there's another swinging mushroom that's higher up than the one you jumped from. I don't know if you can reach it (since I'm not familiar with the level), but if you can, you could parachute over the swing and completely avoid those beads. At 33:58, if you go through the canon diagonally, will you hug the wall and avoid the beads? At 35:17, when you go through the canon, you hit a (!), which triggers the blue beads to appear that you have to collect. I think, those (!)s are on a timer. If the red and orange beads after the next 2 canons are on the same timer, then they might de-spawn if you wait. Point 1 depends on the level layout and points 2/3 probably won't work, but I thought I'd comment for the algorithm at least.

I would love a video about Epic Yarn's development :p (I've read the Iwata Asks interview, but there are probably more interesting factoids about the game) I appreciate title-ing this a "minimum beads" challenge instead of "can you beat the game without beads" since let's honest, if it was the latter the challenge would technically have to end at the first level and the video would just proceed as a minimum bead challenge anyways :[] Anyways, I like the video! The challenge is interesting to watch and the commentary is entertaining :)

You can skip two of the first 8 beads by jumping from the lip of the pool. My best was 48 in that level, but I thought you had to get two at the end hehehe.
