(No) Active Challenge

So, you’ve found the hidden page — congratulations!
Back in 2020, this section was part of a small community challenge created to keep gamers entertained during lockdowns. Players took on retro gaming tasks like clearing Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive, and other classics, often streamed live on Twitch or YouTube.

It was a fun little project that connected people when we all needed it most. Who knows — if there’s enough interest, it might return someday. Until then, feel free to take on the challenges yourself and share your results with the world.

Challenge Rules

§1 Each event has its own set of rules that may override these general ones.
§2 Cheating is strictly forbidden.*

This page is currently under development. Therefor, please return later for a complete rulebook.

*Cheating includes the use of ROM hacks, cheat codes, save states, or any form of modification that grants an advantage not intended by the original game. Exploiting glitches, warps, or skipping content that the game does not explicitly allow is also prohibited.

However, using in-game mechanics as designed — such as equipping stronger weapons, selling items for faster progression, or choosing a character better suited for a stage or boss — is completely fine. Co-op play and passwords given during normal gameplay are also acceptable.
