Super Mario Bros. X Forums

I was just wondering if anyone in this community has done any challenging runs on certain games... So here's some video game challenges I did! :

• 4 heart run of the Nintendo GameCube game, Wario World

• Tried a BP only run of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (I kinda stopped after a while, I would love to do it whole though. )

• 3 heart run of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I'm almost done, just had to defeat the final Ganon battle)

Are you talking about challenges that you set yourself in games.

I have tried beating NSMBWii and NSMB2 levels with the least amount of coins possible, if that is what you mean.

A challenge I tried was a Pacifist Run in NSMBW, only killing enemies if necessary.

A starman 1up run in Super Mario Advance 2, Super Mario World.

A small speedrun in World 2-2 as Superstar baby Mario in SMW2, Yoshi's Island.

I've tried completing Mario levels without touching the ground unless absolutely necessary, in a "the floor is lava" sense.

I think I've done Mega Man 1-8 without using boss weapons unless absolutely necessary (I'm looking at you Mega Man 2) but I may have made a few exceptions against like...Mega Man 7's final boss...And I think I tried the same thing with no E-Tanks too (but not MM7 final boss because seriously, yikes)


I've done a few challenges in the Mega Man X series as well. My favorites were my normal X only run in MMX6 in Nightmare mode, and my "speedrun" or MMX1, which wasn't super fast but it was my fastest, and I only visited each level once and didn't lose a single life. I wasn't even focusing on not losing a life, it just worked out that way.

Yes, that's what I was saying.

I beat Mario World in like 20 minutes using the Yoshi fire koopa coin glitch if that counts.

I'll count it!

Bumping this thread! I'm now doing a Under-level run of the original Paper Mario 64.

Bayonetta 2 with Gaze of Despair.

Now that's a gaming challenge worth doing! Even I can't do this challenge myself.

I may try doing a pacifist run of Super Paper Mario, which means defeating enemies only when absolutely necessary.

Now that's a little challenging task to do!

Sadly, I couldn't do any Pokemon Nuzlockes ever! I tried one on Emerald though!

I played this and made a review on it.
