Questions about new game plus
Now I know this has been asked before bit I cannot find consistent answers so l guess I'm asking as well.

What achievements are possible on new game plus?

Like if I died on the first playthrough would deathless new game plus Give the achievement or not?

If I bought everything before starting new game plus would penny pincher still be possible?

Also is it true that there's a way to make deaths not save? (Yes this one would be a bit cheated but I'd like to know anyways)

This Is kind of important to know because this is going to affect how I play new game plus and how i go about these feats in general so any help would be appreciated

It used to be possible to earn Penny Pincher on New Game Plus in Shovel of Hope, but that was patched.

Generally, everything (e.g. time, money spent, tonics used, relics collected) carries over into New Game Plus, so you can't earn Hurry Up, Penny Pincher, Teetotaler, Make A Killing, Beeline, True Shovelry, or Naked Plague/Specter/King on New Game Plus, since you'd have already earned them at the end of your first playthrough if you met their requirements. The only ones I'm not sure about are Impossible and Perfect Platformer, but if every other stat carries over, I'd bet deaths do too. Those two Feats are easier to earn on your Hurry Up run anyway, so I wouldn't recommend trying them on New Game Plus where you take double damage.

Deaths are only saved when you complete the stage, so you can quit to the map or to the title screen after dying to get another chance at the stage. Time, however, is saved if you quit to the map, so if you want to get Impossible, Perfect Platformer, and Hurry Up all on the same file, make sure to quit to the title screen after each death instead of to the map. The wiki also says this about Impossible:
Losing a fight against Reize, Baz and Phantom Striker automatically returns to the map and autosaves the game. Making a copy of the save file before entering any of these fights is advised.

Since you can return to stages at any time to destroy their checkpoints, you can earn Checkpointless on New Game Plus if you want to, but I found that going back and destroying them all on my original file was much easier. In the credits of a campaign, the stages you destroyed all checkpoints on will be marked with an X. I think these X marks carry over into New Game Plus, so if you want a perfect New Game Plus file, go back and destroy all checkpoints in the original file before creating the New Game Plus file.
