The "Can you beat *game name* with/without *insert challenge here*" Thread

The topic title explains it all! So if you have a theory of beating any game with or without a certain condition you'd like to share with us, this is the perfect thread for you! ^^"

My theories:

Can you complete Chapter 2-3 of Super Paper Mario WITHOUT stealing the 1 million rubees?

Can you defeat Doopliss (2nd Battle) in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door before Vivian join you in battle?

Can you complete ALL of the Young Link events and dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time without using the kokiri sword?

I already said this somewhere: I once beat Sonic Heroes Super Hard Mode without Team Blast

Can you beat Terraria without collecting any coins? Probably very hard, considering every enemy in the game drops coins.
Can you beat The Invasion 2 with Snake? No for this one, he gets stuck in World 2.

Can you beat "Bowser's Seven Sins" without ever getting a single coin? (This is my episode that is WIP) Every level is beatable coinless does not mean every exit is.

If my episode counts, and the challenge was to not collect any coin, you would fail even before starting level 1.

There used to be a thread called "Can you beat SMBX coinless?" by Electriking in late 2018 discussing this challenge. Coins that are simply impossible to avoid are not considered.

(btw, Unknown86's Epic Quest has hundreds of unavoilable coins!)

I wouldn't call all of them lazy. There certainly are some that pretty much everyone can do without effort (e.g. completing a Zelda game without collecting any rupees), but I have seen some that require at least a decent amount of strategy and time. The YouTuber "Jrose11", for example, has tried to complete multiple Pokemon games using either only one pre-evolved Pokemon or while battling as few trainers as possible, sometimes even both.

I got another idea for one of these "Challenges" a few days ago:

Can you beat ALL of the Young Link events and dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* without using the the Kokiri Sword ever?!? I'll try to prove it's possible after work and my irl chores are done in a YouTube video coming soon. ^^"

*You can try that in Master Quest if y'all want?
