A clarification that really should have been made years ago: at the time of this video's release, I hadn't done a single segment run yet. Avoiding killing the Core (letting Curly deal the final blow) wasn't discovered until the video was almost finished, so that segment was recorded separately. I hadn't thought the distinction was important enough to clarify at the time since the run is functionally identical from that point forward, but I've never felt comfortable with that justification. I'm sorry for being dishonest, and I've since completed an actual single-segment run to atone for my sins.
Don't worry bout it man.
If anything, even more respect for running a good portion of the game twice so it was accurate to the new techs
I value your honesty, thank you! And do not worry! Your work is great!
@@Just-Dan yes, actually. it only took... 8 years...
Gamechamp what you have done is unforgivable and I as a longtime viewer and supporter of your channel cannot bare witness to such a deciteful liar no longer.

Curly commits a murder
Technically, the panties are important cause in some versions collecting them allows you to play as Curly. And Curly, as stated prior, is NOT a pacifist.

@Cringy Persona Fan understandable, have a great day.
“Non lethally murdering” something doesn’t quite add up here.
Hmmmmmmm?!?
Oxymorons are funny.
it sounds to me like Batman xD
If you turn someone into a vegetative coma state / put them in permanent life support, then technically speaking you've non lethally killed someone.
Broski
1. Vegetative, not vegetable. Humans do not have the power of transforming anything into a cabbage, thank god.
2. I guess that would kinda count!
I haven't seen another comment mentioning this, but you technically only need to kill two Kurara (giant jellies) in the Grasslands due to a speedrunning technique known as Chako Skip.
Whenever you pause in Cave Story, you actually lose your i-frames. While usually this isn't helpful, you can actually use this to get some high damage boosts. Outside of Chako's house there are 3 bats. After resting up, exit the house and do a full jump at the last possible block. If everything worked correctly, the bats will be up against the floating wall each at different heights. Hit the bats and right as you reach the peak of your knock back, pause. Unpause and you should get boosted again, repeat until you land on the floating platform and jump over to victory. I should note, this is also possible on Cave Story+ by pausing the game and selecting the map from the item menu, if you use the more direct map button it doesn't work.
THE BEST TIP EVER
NOT PACIFIST
@@xxebicxx9505 yea it is??
@@elizathegamer413 HE KILLED AN EXTRA KURARA
@@xxebicxx9505 oh i thought you meant bat skip was not pacifist
This run has brought us a new (and possibly incorrect) definition for “pacifist”.
A killer robot that has possession of deadly guns, knifes and missiles? Completely pacifist, sure. I mean, no animals were harmed in the process.
Define possibly
This run brought us a very incorrect definition for pacifist lol more like, _minicidal_ (minimalist and -cide).
@Professor do I have your permission to steal that word for next time? Because that word is the best word.
@@Gamechamp3000 You most certainly can take that word Gamechamp :) Have an awesome day.

Ultima DoombotMK1 idk
8:35 Plus also if you just let them start the apocalypse, you have the blood of billions on your hands because you could have stopped doomsday but didn't, so technically the most pacifist option is to keep killing bosses
Now, some people would say that those don't count, as the people that would be killed aren't monsters like the rules state. But have you seen the things humans have done throughout history? Humans were the real monsters all along. Case closed.
Yeah...you cant do that ending. Because, yknow... APOCALYPSE!
Gamechamp has made it clear that she doesn't consider murders done by other people to be kills for the purpose of pacifist runs, unless it's more interesting that way.
@@timothymclean Well, you can't really stop Curly's bloodlust. You CAN stop the doctor, however
Cave Story blocks your way forward and then it hands you a gun. The game's message is clear. Violence is the only way. You chose another path.
This game isn't that deep
"Indie game that defines all indie games"
Good way to explain cave story lol
@Cringy Persona Fan it’s been 9 months I think the shrine is ok
Edit: IMPORTANT. You only need 2 jellyfish juice if you have 5 or more hp, because it's possible to double damage boost (pause in freeware, pause -> map in +) to skip using the first in Chako's house.
Story time! I tried to do this a few years ago, but with the added challenge of 1 hp only.
I got to Chako's house. Getting the jellyfish juice without being hit is insanely difficult, even if you allow yourself to kill the enemy that drops it.
Hot damn, I'd considered damage boosting for that but figured it wasn't feasible. Nice!
Project Overturn aka RareBeeph noice
Yeah, it's pretty tricky to get the setup right, and since you have to open the map from the pause(?) menu on CS+, it's counterintuitive to even figure out how to do enough damage boosts to make it up. The original isn't as hard to discover, because you only have to pause.
There is another damage boost skip in hell, if you are quick enough. You can damage boost through the big red spikes (where the rock throwing angels are), saving some time and (maybe) some damage. I haven't personally done it, but I've seen it done. If you can collect the two hearts, you might come up with a net increase? Edit: 11:31 for timestamp, just to be clear.

*_Beat Minecraft without building_*
Already been done!
Beat Minecraft without mining or crafting
Or without mining. Theoretically, this could work, as you can find stuff like Iron and diamonds in dungeons like pyramids. To make it at least tolerable to attempt this, I would only prohibid actual mining, not destroying any block, so wood would be fine, stone or any ore not. Also, I can tell that your suggestion is probably a joke, but I would really wanna see that.
Edit: FFS, you don't need to tell me that it's been done before. Three other people have already. Also, it doesn't matter since Gamechamp has done runs others have already completed, an example would be the coinless NSMB2 run.

IKR!!! LOVE THIS GAME!
10:49 you can enter the next room, collect some hearts, exit by going upward using the jetpack, then re-enter and all hearts will respawn. It's an good way of maxing out your HP for the next room. Enemies will also respawn however.
Yeah i also noted that
whoa what the fuck
thank you for the advice, I probably will farm the two hearts on the right and some butte from the ceiling with that before that section
@@aloysiuskurnia7643 also when you get to the big chrushing enemy, aim upwards and shoot but don't jump when not needed or curly won't fire her weapon making the bossfight 10x harder
That was my main reset point before I learned how to do it proper
I love how the pacifist run made it so that you found the fastest way to kill bosses so that you could avoid collateral damage. Now you have opened the way for non-pacifists to murder faster.
This game made me so frustrated when I was a little kid. I remember getting the demo for the wii and not even being able to beat it. I recently bought it for the Switch and beat it really easily. Good game.
The demo was my shit, dude, I played the fuck outta that
I started with Wii versio too, so good memories
Sewer Boys I’m stuck on balos
This is exactly the same case with what happened to me haha.
You just described me. I still have the demo on my wii and i beat it on the switch AND pc
Ooof. This sounds like a really difficult challenge.
See, the thing about Cave Story is that its game mechanics are specifically designed to _encourage_ killing every enemy you see. Since you drop weapon EXP every time you get hit, and you're likely to get hit many times over the course of any normal playthrough, the very design of the game itself subtly pushes you to kill every enemy in your path. Unless you play _much_ more carefully than the game expects of you, you'll have to kill as much as possible to make sure you're well-equipped enough to fight the next boss.
This is _also_ the reason why nearly every boss in the game continually spawns weaker enemies; it's so you can rack up easy kills to get health, missles, and weapon EXP.
Basically, Cave Story is a game whose very design discourages the possibility of a pacifist run. You're _supposed_ to play the game without showing any mercy, and doing otherwise makes it incredibly difficult to even survive.
well said
So the opposite of Undertale.
@@RabnawazReviews Wait, doesn't Cave Story and Undertale mean pretty much the same thing? I mean, it's all about a story. Or tale. Under caves.
Just like Super Mario Odyssey is a game where you're supposed to jump, man.
Zennistrad2 that’s why he did the run
Greatest game in the entire world.

In my opinion, it might not be the greatest game, but it's very perfect at what it is.
From all my browsing of UA-cam (it's a lot), never have I ever found a better UA-camr. He takes these amazing games and completes them in unintended ways. He doesn't just complete the games, he delves deeper in the things that the developers would not even think of. Keep up the great work man!

Great idea: Can you beat World of Light on Hard mode without the use of Spirits? A team of people did that already but they didn't get a lot of attention. Episode 1 of that only has around 70K views.
Or all spirits except Medusa
It’s broken
PikaPlayer Gaming another idea is “How many spirit fights does it take to complete the world of light while saving every fighter?
The prophecy!
It was heartbreaking to finally kill Ballos after never being able to beat him in the original shareware version and finding out that the achievements were bugged.
“Frogs are legally people”
-Gamechamp3000 2019
same with flowers
"Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom" without collecting shiny objects.
(If possible without glitches)
I loved this game as a kid and still love it today. It was pretty much my childhood. If the mighty GameChamp would do this run, i would proudly salute to you.
I don't know how possible it would be given the bow of light, but what about a Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild run without weapons/runes or a rune only run?
ass meme The bosses wouldn’t be possible then. A no kill run would be better, except bosses don’t count. But instead of going straight to Ganon, you have to free all Divine Beasts.
Actually, it would be possible, since I have done this very run. It’s just super tedious, I advise you to bomb kill the stalnox in hyrule castle to get the hyrulian shield, then you rapidly sheild bomb damage block as you kill the enemies. Koga can be beaten with bombs and magnesis.
Or bows/runes only
A no bow run? You can hit Dark Beast Ganon with the Master Sword beams.
I will make a list of best Gamechamp3000 "legally" quotes
"Frogs are legally people"
"Yes, flowers are legally people"

Would be too easy. Backstepping grants hyper armor during use, you can level up & grind as much as you want, you can still can use any equipment and the backstep can even be combined with the darkwood ring to give you invincibility frames.

Can you beat any Pokémon firered and leaf green without catching a single Pokémon?
At first I thought this would be easy since XY literally gives you 3 Pokémon and Sun and Moon have ride Pokémon making hms obsolete, however these games have mandatory captures with the main legendaries. Let’s go doesn’t have this problem but it also forces you to have certain pokemon to access the gyms. Which means that the only games that this challenge seems possible on are firered and leafgreen because you gain access to fossil Pokémon, fighting Pokémon and magikarp so you have to plan the route around getting Pokémon based on the hms you’ll need.
Random 11 It’s impossible. Bulbasaur and Charmander can’t learn surf. Squirtle can’t learn cut.
@@prmatthew2541 Random 11's comment makes it explicitly clear that in their suggestion it's okay to receive Pokemon from other characters, you just can't catch them. So you could buy a Magikarp and evolve it.
@@blarg2429 Ooooh ok.
It would be to easy there because you get 7 pokemons as presents in Kanto. I startet a no Catching run in Perl an there are only 3 present pokemon and the only Pokemon I allowed my self to capture was Wingull to flay from Canalave City to Celestic Town. Maybe try for yourself.
Black 2/White 2 has no mandatory captures and I believe all you need in terms of HMs are Surf and Strength, so just start a solo run with Oshawott and you're golden. It's the only game where you can do a true glitchless solorun.

Can you beat sonic 2 without touching any rings.
+DarkSonicYT
Does it count if you lose the rings after collecting them?
@@mergieismoronic even if you lose them you still picked them up so yes
Can you get 100 thousand subscribers without getting demonitized?
@Windows Codename Minecraft Non-required - no one said it has to be 100%
I highly doubt it's possible - most hacks that try and simulate that challenge need to edit levels to change it. Most notably Sonic 2 XL, where they add an item that nullifies the effect of rings you've collected after parts with large amounts of unavoidable rings - they wouldn't need to include that item if you could avoid getting any rings, unless just to make the challenge "easier".
I *do* think it could be possible in Sonic 1 though, due to the design being different enough.
Then I just remembered Spring Yard... Hm.
I'm beginning to think it's legitimately impossible for any Sonic game - I thought about SA1 and SA2 but those have moments where you're required to use the light dash, and I'm not sure if all light dash segments are skippable in SA2(actually I'm certain they aren't - the item you need to be able to perform the skips comes later than the light speed shoes, which is always followed by a light speed tutorial in that game. Shadow doesn't even get the skip item!)
My final guess would have to be Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations? Since any game with the light dash as a required upgrade is out, and Heroes has required light speed segments, and Shadow we're not certain whether it should be 100% or not - if so, then it's out.
I don't know enough about Lost World to make an accurate guess, though I think some required wisps force you to collect rings, and Forces - despite actually playing it unlike Lost World - I know even less about.
That all said, any game strictly using 2D is probably out due to how the 2D level design tends to work and the lack of the 3rd dimension to make skips easier, so the DS Sonic games, Mania, and 4 would also be out,
I say Colors since it's mostly 3D and any time a Wisp would be required I don't think it'd force you to collect rings? And Generations, while mostly 2D, doesn't ever require use of the light dash which is of limited use in the game, and I feel like the game's design is just right for a no-rings run. I'm not saying they are possible, I'm just saying my bets are on them.
I am now tempted to watch a video on Sonic 2 ringless since I feel it exists so I also doubt the games I listed as impossible *really are* impossible, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
It's just, unlike Sonic, Mario doesn't tie his health to coins, and it's rare that the level will take control away from the player in such a way he gets launched through coins. Sonic does, however - in such a run, without a shield, every hit is a 1HKO, and even then rings are *everywhere* and you will usually find yourself hitting a booster directly into a loop in more modern games that will force you to collect rings, or similar things to that.
I won't say it's impossible to do it in any Sonic game, I've seen crazier, it's just as a huge fan of Sonic I highly doubt it.
I still want to see him try though >3>

Yes the game play and plot are nothing alike... but the atmosphere and fauna are exactly alike, and that's why people are upset, Toby didn't list Cave Story as inspiration.
Man this series is AWESOME
Mene The mene this is the first episode of season 2 as well
Kian stewart cool :D
I remember trying this very challenge a few years back, but ended it at the Sanctuary. I thought it impossible, but it seems the impossible is still achievable, excellent job on this
Oh my god you're doing my favorite indie game thank you so much
I love your videos

Crash without spinning!
Was hanging out with my friend and her siblings and at one point her brother asked me what games I liked to play. I showed him cave story -the original one, not plus or 3d (at that point I'd reached the blood stained sanctuary).
He looked at it and watched me play it until I reached Ballos' 2nd stage and died (I just couldn't beat that part at the time).
He turns to me and tells me that "This isn't a game. Or a good one at least." I ask him why and he nit-picks about the graphics for a bit. I note to him that 3D exist and then ask him what games he like to play. He answers very simply "Fortnite."
I was rather disappointed. He was 13. Then again I'm not sure what I had been expecting (not saying that all kids don't have an eye for video games just... This was kinda sad to me...)
(Note: I'm not saying Fortnite is a bad game... It's just kinda sad that certain games with a lot of hard work are... Belittled when so much has been put into them.
This game was made by one person... Right?)
yeah sad that younger kids can't see the beauty in simplier games sometimes, me as a game dev am trying to teach my bro the beauty of simplicity and we're going to do a game jam tomorrow
Yeesh, that sucks. I consider cave story a masterpiece. (Also I don’t like fortnite but that doesn’t really matter here)
If you were, i wouldn’t complain
That game deserves to burn in the deepest regions of the underworld
The fact that you've managed to to beat blood stained sanctuary without killing ANY mobs IN A LITTLE OVER 4 MINUTES amazes me.
If I stuck around too long I'd be a dead corpse, so speedrunning was a very beneficial strategy.
You are an absolute madman and I love it
at 4:09 you picked up "curly's underwear" and said "This is very important" they were never used and i assume that was a joke, but do they actually do something in the game? like a dialogue change or something
curly's panties unlocks Curly Mode, a mode where you can play through the entire game as Curly Brace... but not much changes from the original game, in fact the Mimiga Mask sprite isn't even changed when Curly wears it
Can you beat Kirby Superstar 100% without jumping? It's a run i recently did on the ds remake that is a lot of fun to figure out and i was wondering if the original version is possible too.
Edit: Spring Breeze, The arena, Revenge of meta knight, Dyna blade, and Milky way wishes are all possible to complete without jumping in superstar ultra on the ds and there were other game modes added to Superstar ultra that dont appear in the original, of those modes, The true arena and certain helpers in helper to hero are the only things that are possible to do jumpless as far as i can tell.
No jumping? Then how do you elevate yourself?
@@DrRank well for my run, the act of pressing the jump button and causing the specific animation and sound effect of kirby's jump was banned, so as long as a move didn't feature those effects seen, anything else was allowed. this includes the uppercut attack when you have fighter ability which launches you into the air, and slide kicking off of enemies to bounce into the air. If you have the wing ability, fire ability, or wheel ability, you can use a dash attack into a wall which will cause you to bounce back and get into the air without jumping(provided you mash the y button fast enough before falling back onto the ground) Once in the air, Kirby's flutter ability becomes available because instead of jumping to gain height, he inflates himself and flaps his arms. Abilities like wing and jet also help out with his aerial movement. I also discovered that the yoyo ability can help you get into the air without jumping if there is nothing above you. Basically, the no jump run becomes all about finding and managing abilities that can help you get into the air without the dreaded jump animation playing, and avoiding certain softlock areas where you can't do anything but jump. Like how the only way to get out of a cannon, or get off of wheelie rider is to jump out, the same animation and sound effect play, so you have to make sure to get hit off of wheelie rider by an enemy and make sure the cannon you're in fires. The only issues with this run are swimming out of water, springs, and bouncing off your helper's head. all of these things have the same animation as jumping, With swimming and springs both being needed to fully complete the game. I consider these to be not really jumps because even though they look the same as regular jumps, they are something that happens automatically without any input from the jump button being needed, kinda like when kirby jumps in a cutscene outside of the players control. Anytime you get close enough to the top of the water or too close to the top of a spring, the player loses control of kirby for a second while he rises into the air, you could be pressing nothing and this would still happen, unlike a controlled jump. So, we could argue semantics about what a jump actually means but i choose to define it as pressing the jump button to cause kirby to rise into the air with that specific animation and sound effect.
Yeah, I actually tried it on the SNES, and it's impossible. You start each game mode in Normal form, which has no vertical movement options except jumping.
Also, Gourmet Race. Need I say more?
@@DrRank If you're in normal form you can achieve vertical movement by slide-kicking an enemy which bounces you into the air and you can start fluttering. and gourmet race is possible to win without jumping. You can beat the first level by just running and fluttering when you walk off an edge, the second level you can't beat but if you wait for dedede to finish itll automatically take you to level 3, and level 3 is possible if you flutter at certain times while dropping off edges, if you get enough food in level 1 and 3 you can still beat dedede and complete gourmet race.
YOU PLAY MY FAVORITE GAME AAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS LIKE 100 TIMES MORE THANK YOU MY SAVIOR GAMECHAMP
LOVED the video. Great work
"Jam to the best music in the game"
Sanctuary theme: *So you have chosen death*
Just my opinion, of course.
What do you all think it is?
Meltdown 2, but the remade version.
Balcony, for sure
gotta be Moonsong
Beat Cave Story using only the Polar Star.
Yes
Beat cave story with a level 3 nemesis
@Adam Senzai even if he does after getting to last cave I think it all gets resets to lvl 1 so unless he like hacks the level of nemesis to get locked into lvl 3
Oh god, you madman. I just picked this up for a replay last week and started out trying this. That didn't last too long for me.
I got this game off the shelf because I thought it looked cool. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a lot of zany snes charm, and smooth gameplay.
Cool vid
But is it possible to do a pacifist route of earthbound?
You can only kill enemies that are necessary for progression
If you do this
Gl getting past the moles playing rough
pokemonmastepower , extreme luck might work too....
