Status Bar for One Level

Hi all,

I'm thinking of making a level using RussianMan's "Pay Coins to Jump" UberASM along with MovementThruPortals's "Reset Coins on Hurt" patch. However, I have removed the status bar in my hack, so the player cannot see how many coins they have left, meaning they won't know how many more times they can jump. Is there a way to reveal the coin counter for one level only? Or is this looking like an idea I should scrap?
One way would be to keep the status bar but hidden in every level but that one (maybe editing it to only have the coin counter). You can do that for example with this patch. That will require to port everything to a new rom without the "Remove Status Bar" patch.
Alternatively you can display the counter with some uberasm code. For example, you can find a layer 3 coin counter in this pack I released last C3. In this case you won't be able to use any other layer 3 in the level (unless it's a static layer 3 that doesn't move).
Sounds good, I'll check out that first patch you linked and port my current work (I'll definitely make a backup for when things inevitably go wrong). I'm sure I'll reach out with more questions at some point, thanks for the help!
