Challenge Run	comment	To a Challenge Gamer, merely beating a game is not enough. Such players will want to play on the highest difficulty level and beat the Superboss while imposing all sorts of strict limits upon themselves. Game developers know this, and may choose to suggest to players a Challenge Run. This can range from an Easter Egg or Video Game Achievements for those who beat a game while respecting certain conditions, to entire game modes that the player must pick at the start of the game, which automatically enforce the rules of the challenge. If the game allows the player to select which level they want to play, it may be possible to fulfill the Challenge Run on each level one at a time; if not, the player may have to play through the whole game under these rules. The important distinction between this and a Self-Imposed Challenge is that here, the game acknowledges the challenge, while a Self-Imposed Challenge is, well, imposed only by the players themselves. Unlockable Difficulty Levels is one of these challenges. May also be presented in the form of an Arrange Mode. Hard Mode Perks may or may not apply. There's a very high chance that the challenges lack any form of Anti-Frustration Features. Beating these challenges, however, usually reward the players with a Cosmetic Award for bragging rights.

Challenge Run / int_12381dc	comment	Divinity: Original Sin II: Near the end of the main quest line, a player can bypass one minor quest to complete the Path of Blood if their character has never killed anything, stolen anything, or taken Source. It's a Guide Dang It! requirement that's far more difficult than just doing the quest, but it nets the character a permanent buff and a bit of unique dialogue.

Challenge Run / int_19b7308b	comment	Wynncraft: When starting up a new character, the player is given the option to place the character into four different gamemodes, like an Ironman mode ala Runescape or being permanently locked into Player Versus Player as a few examples. These gamemodes are unlocked when another of the player's character has met a certain criteria like reaching a specific level or having a certain quest completed. These gamemodes can also be stacked, meaning the player can be under the restrictions of two gamemodes at once. This led way for the HICH gamemode, where the player is under the restrictions of every gamemode.

Challenge Run / int_1ec960a9	comment	Solatorobo invokes this in-universe, thanks to the Duel Ship Tournaments that you can participate in. One of the rules states that if one of the fighters declares a challenge, then it is imposed onto the current round, with the caveat of instant disqualification should they fail to complete it. Red learns this the hard way when he was trying to act tough in front of a Fangirl. Though it's also revealed that the challenger doesn't even need to declare the challenge themselves, as third-parties like Cyan or the announcer could easily throw in different winning conditions on a whim, such as needing to perform a triple-throw combo a certain amount of times or enforcing a No-Damage Run during the match.

This ability makes it possible for daring players who want to play the games at level 1. Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- instead implements an option called EXP Gain, which functions similarly to EXP Zero.

Challenge Run / int_2a04866b	comment	Guild Wars has two notable challenges which were so impressive the developers eventually commemorated them with in-game titles. Legendary Defender of Ascalon required the player to reach maximum level in the Forced Tutorial of Prophecies. Because the monsters stopped giving experience well before that, players resorted to getting themselves killed by monsters, which caused them to level up and be worth experience. Survivors reach the maximum level without dying once, while Legendary Survivors gain ten times that amount of experience. Nerfed when the developers allowed the title to reset on death rather than being permanently removed.

Challenge Run / int_2d940749	comment	beatmania IIDX has the Hard modifier, which starts your gauge at 100% and removes the requirement of ending with 80% or higher to clear the song, but it makes your gauge drop much faster with each missed note, and it fails you if your gauge hits zero at any point. This can actually make certain songs easier if their difficulty is concentrated at the end of the song. If you're a good enough player to hold your own until the ending massacre, the fact that a Hard gauge removes the 80+% requirement can make songs easier to pass than on the regular bar. The EX-HARD modifier, introduced in IIDX 19: Lincle, makes the gauge drop even harsher.

Challenge Run / int_2dc12aeb	comment	NetHack features a bevy of conducts, i.e. voluntary challenges, including a Pacifist Run, an "atheist" run (not using the "pray" command to ask favors from the gods, or dropping anything on altars to test for alignment, or chatting with priests, or...), an "illiterate" run (not reading anything, and not writing anything beyond the letter X), a "foodless" run (not eating anything, including non-foods), and for the truly psychotic, combinations of any or all of the above resulting in things like "wishless genocideless polyitemless polyselfless illiterate atheist weaponless vegan" (actually achieved). You get nothing for completing these other than satisfaction, but the game will keep track of what you've accomplished. Nethack is already Nintendo Hard of itself, so these challenges add replay value only for the truly hardcore. The config file also lets you make your character blind. This makes the game extraordinarily difficult for obvious reasons and also because, as a traditional roguelike, Nethack involves a lot of painstaking item-identification, and being permanently blindfolded makes this nearly impossible (you generally can't read scrolls, see what potions look like, etc.).

Challenge Run / int_2e86bae9	comment	Ikaruga, or at least the Xbox 360 version, actually provides for a scoreboard for "Dot Eater" play - meaning you don't fire a single shot, collecting points by surviving and by using your shield to absorb every last bullet you can. This is much harder than you may think, as there are points throughout the game that are literal walls. Without the ability to fire and destroy these walls, you have to align the Ikaruga just right to slip through the single pixel holes in them.

Gets EXTREMELY difficult when you're on the rooftops; circular saws will pass right through zombies (especially fast zombies) and go clattering into the streets. Even if you carry a cinder block with you everywhere you go, there's still about a 50% chance that it will bounce off any given zombie and go flying over the edge. It helps considerably if you just run like hell through most of the level.

Episode One ups the ante with "The One Free Bullet", an achievement which challenges you to fire one bullet throughout the entire game: to shoot a lock off after you get the pistol. Thankfully, the achievement allows you to use Gravity Gun, Rocket Launcher, SMG, and hand grenades, the Crowbar (when you get it), and auto-mounted guns left by the Combine. That being said, finding things that you can toss with the Gravity Gun will be hard, especially against the antlions and zombies. Episode Two has "Little Rocket Man": find a garden gnome in the first map, carry it with you for most of the game, and drop it into a rocket.

Challenge Run / int_4ba244d1	comment	The last night of the first Five Nights at Freddy's is Custom Night, where one can adjust how difficult each animatronic is. It can be used to make them super easy and give you a relatively relaxed night... or you can crank the AI up to make it harder for yourself. The most difficult is '4/20 Mode', where you set the AI of all four animatronics to 20, which is the maximum. It's insanely difficult and only beatable by really skilled power management, reflexes, and a lot of luck and perseverance. Not even the creator of FNAF has been able to do it.

Playing as small German/Russian city-state next to powerful and ambitious countries is not easy. This, however, isn't considered hardcore in the community: the real challenge is playing as a minor Native American (weak, decentralised, and technologically inferior to Europeans who will inevitably invade with fancy guns), African, or Asian state.

Challenge Run / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale actually acknowledges the player doing certain challenge runs - you get a special message if you manage to complete the game under a certain restriction. These are: no saving, no using healing items, finish the game wearing the Bandage (the weakest armour, which turns into a healing item when removed, meaning you can't re-equip it), finishing the game at level 1 (easier than it sounds, as killing enemies to gain EXP is actively discouraged in this game for spoiler-intensive reasons) and finishing the game with a Snowman Piece in your inventory (a healing item that you can get early in the game that heals 45 HP, in a game where if you play "normally" (i.e., as you would a standard RPG) you'd have about 35 HP by the time you fight the pre-final boss). You can do many or all of them at once; Doing "No Healing Items", "Bandage", and "Level 1" all at once even gets its own message saying "You really like to challenge yourself, huh?" In fact, since Undertale is a game that actively deconstructs many standard gaming tropes, the Genocide/No Mercy run could be considered a deconstruction of this. When you gain enough LOVE, most bosses die in one hit, but there are a couple of bosses whose difficulty level is far above anything you would encounter on a Neutral or Pacifist run. The latter, Sans, even explicitly says that you know you won't gain anything from doing it, and the only reason you are doing it is to prove that you can.

Challenge Run / int_65a47935	comment	Newer installments of Popn Music have "Challenge mode," which is essentially the game's normal mode, but after picking a song, you can choose up to two objectives to complete within the song for extra "Challenge Points." These challenges range from the tame (such as scoring x points or getting less than y misses) to the not-so-tame (having the scroll speed of the notes multiply or notes do spiraly animations at regular intervals) to the insane (having song characters go into "Dance Ojama" mode and block your view of the notes or completing the song with a perfect score). If you get enough Challenge Points, you'll get an extra stage. Should you desire even more challenge, there's the Cho-Challenge Mode, which is the same as Challenge Mode but with the "Cool" note judgment (in addition to Great, Good, and Bad), which makes scoring brutally hard.

There's one that causes your shields to recharge only upon meleeing an enemy, one that causes every enemy's health to double, one that removes your entire first-person HUD and arms, leaving you with no way to tell what gun you're currently using unless you fire it or tediously look at its shape with your own shadow, one that causes you to restart the whole level if you die on solo or revert to the last checkpoint if ANY player dies on co-op, and those are just a few. Some skulls are actually helpful (though those are mostly just in Halo 2 and Combat Evolved Anniversary), but in most cases, they greatly increase the games' difficulty in many unique ways.

You score points by doing things like killing more than 1 enemies at the same time, or scoring a kill while airborne, etc. The challenge part comes in how the points will be reset to 0 when 1) it's banked (by using the more powerful Special Skills or touching a Checkpoint), 2) you get hit (depending on the setting, the points will only get reset when you get hit the third time). A common way to maximize the point you get, thusly, would be a special skill-less (at least before the boss fight), no checkpoint, No-Damage Run so that all of the points are only "banked" at or near the end.

Melee gives you points for certain accomplishments in battle, and in single-player mode, it even lists all these accomplishments for you; naturally, some have become fodder for challenges. For instance, you can lose points for relying too much on a single move, but you get a lot of points for only using a single move. Some challenges are a lot harder in certain modes; a No-Damage Run is a lot easier in All-Star Mode (but it's brutal everywhere else), and "Switzerland" — i.e. win around without ever attacking or taking damage — is pretty easy to get on Adventure Mode stages where you don't actually have to attack anything to win.

The game encourages a Pacifist Run, as morality plays a large part in the story. There's an optional timer for speedruns. Right before the final boss, if you've already beaten the game at least once, there's a computer that supercharges him, giving him loads of health, increasing the rate and power of his attacks, the number of projectiles and the size of their hitboxes, and so on. You are specifically warned that doing this is a very bad idea if you don't know what you're doing.

Each functioned in a similar vein to the game's story mode and requires the player to unlock all of the dinosaurs and research items as they progress by pursuing a higher star rating for the island being played on. The requirements to successfully reach a five starred park obviously increase with each difficulty, but despite the "par time" for each island, there's no time limit to achieving it and acquiring a new skin for one of your dinosaurs, and each island offers two new skins as rewards (one for getting 5 stars on any difficulty, and another for getting 5 stars for Jurassic Difficulty. Successfully achieving the five star rating within the par time does, however, reward the player with an Achievement as well as one or both of the skins.

There is the Pacifist Run (which nets you at least a Pigeon rank and is needed to get higher ranks), the Stealth Run (which nets you at least a Chameleon rank and is needed to get higher ranks), and a no-kill no-continue no-Alert Speed Run on the highest difficulty will get you a suitably heroic title, usually Big Boss. There's stranger challenges (like eating all possible animals in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater which nets you the Markhor rank). There's also some very bizarre bonus titles that take a strange mind to get or see the worth of getting - ending Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty with a Ration-eating sea louse in your inventory nets you the Sea Louse rank, and ending Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with a Stamina-sapping leech attached to your body gives you the Leech rank.

It can be used to make them super easy and give you a relatively relaxed night... or you can crank the AI up to make it harder for yourself. The most difficult is '4/20 Mode', where you set the AI of all four animatronics to 20, which is the maximum. It's insanely difficult and only beatable by really skilled power management, reflexes, and a lot of luck and perseverance. Not even the creator of FNAF has been able to do it. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 ups the ante with 10-20 mode, with both the old and new animatronics (including Golden Freddy and BB) set at 20. Five Nights at Freddy's 3 has no Custom Night, but it does have Aggressive Nightmare Mode, consisting of playing Nightmare Mode (the 6th night) with the Aggressive cheat (which makes Springtrap more... well, aggressive). Five Nights at Freddy's 4 includes two difficulties from previous games: Nightmare Mode and 4-20 mode. The DLC introduces a new difficulty called Blind Mode, in which you are not allowed to use the flashlight. Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location brings back Custom Night, with the ultimate challenge (all animatronics, including ones unique to this night, at max level), being Golden Freddy mode, though confusingly enough Golden Freddy does not actually appear. Ultimate Custom Night takes this up a notch with 50/20 mode. And yes, once again Scott can't beat it, though he did program in a victory screen, labeled 'UNBEATABLE!'.

Finally, Green Comets appear only after defeating Bowser for the first time; they create Green Stars in hard-to-reach areas of normal levels, which need to be collected for 100% Completion.

Challenge Run / int_d4e454e6	comment	Dofus has been adding more and more challenges like this, and two in particular have become ubiquitous - every dungeon includes a success for beating them: The "Duo" challenges require players to beat bosses with only two characters - dungeons are designed for teams of 4 to 8 characters, as the number of enemies is tied with the number of characters with a minimum of four. While this is fairly easy with overlevelled characters in basic dungeons, it can become absurdly hard in dungeons for levels 190-200 (200 being the max level in the game). The "Score 300" challenges require players to beat bosses using idols to multiply their score (and, as such, their XP and loot) by a factor of 300%. The catch being that those idols tend to make the fights significantly harder - they can progressively increase enemy damage, increase enemy movement, half your health if you finish on the same line as an enemy, etc... 300 requires you to use five or six of them, which can make an already very difficult fight hellish.

It functions similarly to the Gods mechanic in Bastion or the Beast Signs in Pyre in that you give all enemies bonuses or implement hostile mechanics against yourself in return for a reward each time you defeat a boss. The Pact operates on a 'heat level' where every debuff or enemy bonus adds one 'heat', and in order to get more rewards you need to play with a higher heat level than the last time you beat the game with that weapon.

The games appear to have anticipated this, since in III, Delta and Final the game will give you a Force Device for the final stage of the last boss if you don't have one. Delta and Final also keep track of various handicaps you might impose on yourself, like beating the game without Force or Wave Cannon.

This item removes Mega Man's helmet, revealing his hair. But wait. Without his helmet, Mega Man takes MORE damage, and if he loses even ONE life, his helmet comes back, thus requiring the item to be bought...AGAIN. If you're looking to obtain the achievement for beating all 8 bosses without your helmet, expect your screw expenses to overflow to be screwed over. There's also the Mr./Ms. Perfect trophy run is a No-Damage Run through the entire game. If you're going to do this, you might as well combine it with the No Helmet Run mentioned above.

The best would be "Challenge: Really Bad Day", which only lets you choose from two professions: Tweaker (suffers from meth addiction) or Shower Victim (has only a wet towel and a bar of soap, and as the towel lacks storage space, they can't even hold that bar of soap until they find something better). Additionally, the starting building is on fire, surrounded by zombies, your character has the flu (penalty to all stats) and depression (cannot craft, also penalizes stats), and an infected bite wound. That last one is the nastiest, as it regularly causes nausea, so you cannot eat or drink most comestibles, and will kill you shortly if you cannot find some rare antibiotics. The best hope is to start in a house, immediately rush to the bathroom before it burns down, check if there are any antibiotics, and restart if there aren't.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix adds trophies for doing a few basic challenge runs. You get one for finishing the game without using any continues (you are allowed to die, but if you do you have to select "Load Game" rather than "Continue", which usually results in losing a lot more progress) and for completing the whole game without changing Sora's equipment (which includes both keychain and accessories). Extra challenge can be gained from not changing Donald and Goofy's equipment, doing both at once, or doing either (or both) on Proud Mode. Beginning from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, the games have added a recurring ability called either EXP Zero, Zero EXP, or No Experience, preventing the protagonists from ever gaining experience or leveling up. This ability makes it possible for daring players who want to play the games at level 1. Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- instead implements an option called EXP Gain, which functions similarly to EXP Zero. Kingdom Hearts III: Re��Mind introduces PRO Codes, which makes the game harder by adding up to 13 restrictions: the party's stats are reduced to Level 1, their defense is reduced to 0, their health and mana are constantly draining, they cannot use battle items, Cure magic, Attractions, or Team Attacks, playable characters cannot use Shotlocks, Formchanges and Grand Magic, Kupo Coins in Sora's possession won't work, Sora can't use Links, and Sora can only equip up to 30 abilities. Players can obtain merit points by defeating certain bosses with PRO Codes on; mercifully, the PRO Codes only need to be on while fighting these bosses, so players who dare accept the challenge can simply play the rest of the game without those restrictions.
