Coin Collecting Puzzle Solution

# Steps
1 Take only 1 coin on your first turn
2 Count the number of coins Dr. Topper gets and get coins to have 5 coins in total of both yours and Dr. Topper's.
3 After step 2, collect coins for yourself in multiples of 5, based on the number of coins Dr. Topper receives. If Dr. Topper gets 3 coins, get 2 for yourself. If Dr. Topper gets 4 coins, get 1.
4 Win by letting Dr. Topper get the 21st coin.

Take Only One Coin on the First Turn

Super Mario RPG Remake - Take Only 1 Coin on the First Turn

The puzzle starts with Mario collecting first, and collecting only one coin on the first turn will make this significantly easier since each player can only collect a maximum of 4 coins per turn.

Dr. Topper will then have to pick between 1 - 4 after you, and if he collect 4 coins, then the total coins is already in multiples of 5. If he collects 1 - 3 coins, collect coins on your next turn and match Dr. Topper's coins to get a total that is a multiple of 5.

After Getting the 5th Coin, Take Coins and Depend on Your Opponent's Move

After obtaining the 5th coin, determine the number of coins Dr. Topper receives and use that information to ensure that your turn ends with the total of coins being a multiple of 5.

If Dr. Topper gets 4 coins, take 1 on your turn. If he receives 3, take 2. For 2 coins on his turn, take 3. If he gets only 1 coin, take 4.

Aim for the 10th and 15th Coin If you Failed to Get the 5th Coin

If you made a mistake on your first turn and letting Dr. Topper get the 5th coin, then aim for the 10th and 15th coin and this will still result in you winning!
