I've done a lot of challenges during my gaming years, but some of those that i'm really proud of are:

- Beat the Black Rabite on Secret of Mana 2 with an underlevelled team (even with a level 99 team, it's almost impossible to beat it)

- Completed Order of Ecclesia Hard Mode Lvl 1 challenge (think NES Ninja Gaiden is bad with off screen enemies? this baby will make you cry, since not only you have off screen enemies and random projectiles, everything OHKO's you).

- Completed the original Contra without using the Konami Code.

- Completed Battletoads solo.

- Finally managed to defeat the last boss of Mushihimesama Futari Ultra Mode.

Lulz! Battletoads. Made for co-op play and you beat it on solo. That is pretty cool.

 

Probably the most I have ever tried to destroy others scores on is when I had my Atari as a kid. We were always fighting for domination when it came to points. I would sneak out in the living room at night just so I had extra time to play. With four kids in the house you had to take turns. At night I had plenty of time to demolish records of others.

Well, to be fair, the game can be a bit harder in 2-Player mode if you have a lousy partner, since you can hit your partner's character with normal attacks or throw enemies at it, which often resulted in OHKOs. Not to mention the critical 2nd player bug in Level 11, which made you lose an entire continue in order for the 1st player to be able to actually finish the level.
