Discovering stuff without Game Breakers and whatnot

Has anybody here ever tried this? By Game Breakers, I mean stuff like using the Screw Attack or DK's Down B to humiliate 15 Minute Melee in SSBM.

I find that by not using Game Breakers, you enter interesting situations that require more creative solutions. Remember the Startropics 2 boss rush challenge that this forum had some time back? It banned the Ultra (Broken) Psychic Shock Wave because it pretty much trivialized the game from the moment you got it, especially when having a full row of hearts was not particularly hard at that point. Medicine got banned too to prevent somebody from tanking the gauntlet with 9 bottles. I did two videos based on the challenge (one for the boss rush, one for Zoda-Z himself) with a catch: Katana only. Banning the 3-way shot means that for Zoda-Z's last form, managing an offense is harder so dodging his attacks would be even more critical, which is nowhere near the case with the U(B)PSW because you can just keep sniping Zoda-Z and tank HIM out.

Anyway, I find it easier to find stuff out when playing under a handicap or simply only using a crutch strictly as a safety net, if that. What do you guys think?

Every time I play SMB1 I get the urge to jump backwards through the entire game, but usually give up before I even reach the first water stage.

A lot of the time when I play SMB1, I'll hold down B for most of the game. I'll stop to get mushrooms for the extra hit point, but other than that, I'll just take ridiculous risks for my own amusement.
