I don’t really know. I haven’t played any of the older consoles games where you could do crazy stuff that the programmers might have overlooked (I find glitches). It’s harder nowadays.

The only one I can think of is Super Mario World. Yeah 16-bit era, wooo! Try to get all the secret areas in the game without the aid of the ”!” blocks (meaning you don’t use ! switch palaces). This isn’t that hard and it does count against you when you can’t get a “complete” mark next to you save file. There’s one place in Star Road that makes that really difficult.

I tried to make Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past “super easy” and super hard which bit me in the bum both times. Try to beat the level 3 boss in the dark world with a level 4 sword (meaning, yes, you have to get the gloves from level 4, beat levels 5 and 6, get the bomb and then upgarde your sword). Guess what- the boss isn’t affected by a level 4 sword.

Then I tried a new game. Using basic armor, the least amount of hearts, level 2 sword (and something else I can’t remember) I went up against Ganon. ...yeah, level 2 sword doesn’t affect him.

And that was how I wasted my youth.
