Completing Super Mario World without activating Switch Palaces

Getting through Zeldas without picking up heart containers (3-heart run)

F-Zero GX Story Mode (just playing it)

Getting a population of 500,000 in SNES Sim City without plopping any gift buildings (some maps had ley-lines where "tops" were sure to develop, and I discovered them)


I've done these.

One thing I like to do is test the extent of rubber-banding in racing games by imposing a challenge on myself. I'll give the AI a head start of so many seconds and see if I can catch them up before the race ends, and basically keep extending the amount of time I give them each race before it becomes impossible to catch up. Or, if the rubber-banding is bad enough, I'll go the wrong way around the track until the AI laps me, then turn around and race properly and see if I can catch up and win.

That just seems unnecesary lol.

not really know... the closest thing I can think of is that I used pikachu in my party always and didn't let him evolve in pokemon yellow. Because I wanted pikachu to follow me around. Even he sucked

no,I just put it on the easiest mode and rush through the game. I do this,because I just don't have time to play games nearly as much as I'd like 2.

He wouldn't evolve even if you tried. If you happen to obtain a thunder stone and try to use it on him, he just ignores it or something

*This is just for Pokemon Yellow (they wanted it to be like the anime)

Oh, I never knew this, how dissapoint. I remember having a raichu, one time, but maybe I traded from red/blue. they should have made him suck less like the anime then, maybe they did and I again didn't notice.

And Ash decides not pikachu I thought... just like ash always lets his good pokemon go free XD.

I've done a Vaan solo run of FFXII, which isn't that hard, since you can overlevel in the beginning and get damn good equipment.

I also did another run of FFXII, where I would get the best equipment for my characters as soon as it was possible. Some equipment took a long time to get, since drop rates and stuff were annoying. Getting one of every piece of equipment in FFXII is also a hassle, with some weapons like that one dagger (Danjuro) in the crystal place.

I'm going to be attempting a 100% run in Okami soon, which people will probably know is a pain and can take a long time to get everything.

Can be done in less than 20 hours.

So you can collect all Stray Beads, feed all Animals, catch all types of fish, get all Brush techniques, buy all Dojo techniques and do everything else in 20 hours on a brand new game? That's my idea of a 100% game, and I don't believe it can be done in 20 hours.

Well nothing as crazy as that, but I do subtle challenges sometimes.

yes mainly i play games on the hardest setting available at that time. in shooters and online multi-player i don't use radars, maps, silencers, radar jammer.

i usually don't upgrade. tell me how it goes when you get to the omega ruins. then tell me when you bet sin.
in FF10 i upgraded my ass off, even now with my last play through(haven't beat sin yet still in the omega ruins and i'm here everyday) 5 of the seven characters have 9999 HP and 999 MP without the legendary weapons.

sometime upgrading is harder then killing your self for fun. are you crazy? naw just kidding i may do the samething soon?
