Prove your manliness! Play these games straight up, no obscure ways of cheating, and no non-obscure ways of cheating!

One more thing, the game gives you an option to change your starting lives count. You may set this no higher than the standard 2. Obtaining more lives in the game is alright, it's just the starting lives is all.

Here's how you earn your grit:
-Beat the game as Mega Pony

this nets you 1 cool Man-Grit
extra Man-Grit are as follows:
-Beat the game with 1/3 of the optional characters
-Beat it with 2/3 of the optional characters
-Beat it with ALL optional characters

Go forth and be manly, here's a video with the description that has a download to the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwMOOHb1aeA

THE GRITTY VICTORS:

Jason - 1

-No turbo controls! This goes for the inclusion of certain games I may or may not have Man-Grit challenges for in the future that have turbo built-in too.
-No cheats! No using any cheats of any kind. This can be anywhere from built-in codes, game genie/shark/ action replay stuff, or even glitch exploits. The only exceptions are for glitches that are nigh unavoidable.

This is pure Man-Grit, here. You play the game like it was meant, withOUT warp whistles. And you play it good!

Today's Man-Grit challenge is for Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES and for the SNES. Pick your version of choice.
As for the GBA version, I don't want it in here as they gave Mario Bros 2 physics to the characters, meaning that luigi has the doofy flutter-kick and super jump. Also, you can have Mario World's Roc's Cape and Mario Bros. 2 veggies if you have the e-reader and those rare mod cards to add in those and many other items. I'll watch a playthrough of it, sure, but it's not eligible for the contest. Sorry.
And as for versions of the NES and SNES versions, any should be fine. Even the wii-re-release version of Mario All-Stars (though I'd recommend using gamecube controller as wiimotes seem to have a minute delay, but I'm just picky)

How you participate is simple. You record yourself playing the game. If you get caught breaking a rule, you lose your Man-Grit. If you can successfully beat the game, you earn your Man-Grit. If you have to take a break, well, tough. For the NES version, at least. You can use the save feature in the SNES version, but ONLY at the start of worlds, and you better hope that I won't catch you cheating by grinding item houses. =_=

Now, some may think that Mario 3 isn't manly enough for this challenge. And to that, I'd just like to remind you that Mario was voiced by WWF wrestler Captain Lou Armano back then, and that's about as manly a video game character can get.
On the points side, though....

You must beat the game by beating EVERY level in EVERY world. NO WARP WHISTLES MAY BE USED, but you can collect them if you like wasting inventory space. This includes Hammer Bro and Piranha Plant encounters, but does NOT include Toad Houses, Roulette spaces, and the secret Fire Bro encounter, as it's impossible to get to them all anyway. You also don't have to play the memory match minigame or collect on White Toad Houses. Also, if you run out of lives and get a Game Over, then you lose. Try again from square one, junior!
Oh, and P-wings are right out. That's indirectly skipping the level, and I won't have that.
All of this earns you 1 Man-Grit.

Bonus Man-Grits:
-Beat every Koopaling (the world bosses) with Fire Flower fireballs and/or Hammers
-Beat Bowser with Fire Flower fireballs and/or Hammers
-Do not ever use Jugem's Cloud or the Music Box, or even P-wings to just get rid of the item in your inventory. Be manly, deal with it! It's in your inventory, and there's little you can do about it.

Beating the game without skipping any level in any manner earns you 1 Man-Grit, each Bonus Man-Grit is worth 1. Total of 4.

Hop to it, Grit-less!

The Gritty Victors:

Jason - 2 Grit



P.S. For clarification, you CAN use P-Wings IF you overwrite them with another item before entering another level, BUT it exempts you from the Bonus Man-Grit for just holding onto junk items.

Today's Man-Grit challenge is for Metroid on the NES.

How you participate is simple. You record yourself playing the game. If you get caught breaking a rule, you lose your Man-Grit. If you can successfully beat the game, you earn your Man-Grit. If you have to take a break, use the game's way of letting you do that: passwords. And I want to see you punch in that code each time!

Bonus Man-Grit for those who 100% the game (get all treasures), but not necessary.

Completion earns 3 Man-Grit, bonus completion earns 1 more Man-Grit. Breaking any rules expels all Man-Grit.

Hop to it, Grit-less!

Edit: It is brought to my attention on Metroid's ambiguity for 100% completion. So, here's the list of optional stuff:

-You only need 6 of the 8 E-tanks as you can only have 6 tanks max. You are allowed to use those other 2 at anytime for instant full health.

-Only one ice beam is necessary for 100%.

-Wave beam is not necessary as you'll need to replace it with Ice Beam anyway.

Jason - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSoEHPCfU8Y&list=PLUOrSPXEG4aO496ZK9RfjQPTVkgBH_B5W

The Grit gauge so far:

Jade - 3
Jason - 4
Meowskivich - 8000000

P.S.
Remember, you can retry for more Man-Grit! Your highest Man-Grit score is what you'll keep, so if you don't do a 100% run this time, you can try again in the future!]]> -No save states, not even for saving.
