* In ''[[Cave Story (Video Game)|Cave Story]]'', there are generally two popular challenges: The 100% challenge and the minimal items challenge. The latter means that you only pick up the three weapons you absolutely need to pick up and that you play through the entire game (including the [[Brutal Bonus Level]]) with only 3 max HP. In that same Bonus Level, there is also a timer, so of course there are plenty of speedruns both for 100% and minimal items. |

* Play though ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina of Time]]'' without buying anything (other than the required Deku Shield), and without picking up any heart containers, and without catching any fairies in your bottles. Yes, that means one solid hit from an Iron Knuckle will kill you. Still, it's quite simple compared to some of the other examples on this page... |

* [[God Hand]] (already a [[Nintendo Hard]] game) has a "Jukebox" that the player can use to listen to the game's [[Awesome Music|soundtrack]]. The soundtrack is split into four sections, each requiring a "CD" to unlock another section. Sounds normal enough? You get the first CD by simply beating the game on normal - and that's the easiest challenge. The second CD is [[Fake Difficulty|fake difficulty played in spades.]] The third CD requires you to finish the '''entire''' game from Stage 1-2 without unleashing God Hand or using any Roulette moves '''once''', which are pretty much the only ways to beat any [[Elite Mooks]], let alone ''bosses''. And the fourth CD? Beat the game on ''hard mode''. Also bear in mind that these aren't even [[Self-Imposed Challenge|self-imposed]]. |

* [[Asura's Wrath]] has the Mortal Gauge that lowers your health significantly, and it allows bosses to kill you in one direct hit. ON EASY MODE. Now, try playing with the Mortal Gauge on Hard Mode. [[Shmuck Bait|Go on,]] try it... |

*** Yet another variation where there's only [[Mooks|common infected]] and the Boomer special infected (Who can draw the commons to you with his attack), they do much more damage to you than usual (Even more than on Expert!) and your only weapon is the Magnum (Which only has 8 shots before it needs to reload). |

** One that hasn't been released yet, but announced, might possibly [[Up to Eleven|outdo them all]]. What is known so far is that '''there is no [[HUD]] whatsoever''', along with everything else that applies to Realism mode (No auras around players and items, enemies take less damage, [[He's Just Hiding|dead players don't magically respawn in random closets]], etc) |
