I might try MMX again. I know what you meant about SMW, I was just using capeless as shorthand for "special stages without a cape or blue Yoshi". The P-Balloon special stage was hard for me, but the Koopa Paratroopas are positioned in a way that blue Yoshi can fly through the stage if you maneuver carefully. There are just enough pipes and single blocks to land on to grab a new shell and refresh the swallow timer. As for the whole game, I don't think you can reach Soda Lake without cape or Yoshi, you'd need at least one to get the Cheese Bridge secret exit. Maybe if you can do the speedrunner shell jump but no way I could do that.
