The Challenge Gamer tends to focus on games with systems that can be exploited, [[Fake Skill|but not in the conventional sense]]. If he plays fighting games, expect to see him aim for stuff like time or combo records rather than beating other players. RPGs are all about gaining levels and cranking out ridiculous numbers, not [[Player Versus Player]]. FPS multiplayer? Sorry, gotta shave a second off my [[Speed Run]]. A Challenge Gamer also will not complain about exploits or bugs, but will embrace them as a means by which a skilled gamer can push the bar higher. Adeptness at exploiting the programming flaws or loopholes in a game may even be a requirement for joining the game's Challenge Gamer community.

* In ''[[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.
