Bananasaurus_Rex Keeps Breaking Spelunky
By Dr. Evelyn Reed | January 01, 0001 | 7 min read
Spelunky is a very difficult game. But of course some people aren’t satisfied with just plain difficult. Bananasaurus_Rex has already done the near-impossible solo eggplant run, so he had to invent a new challenge for himself. https://kotaku.com/http-youtu-be-lgrpeu5nwk0-this-is-a-solo-eggplant-run-1462760999
If you aren’t familiar with Spelunky, it’s a platformer with 
randomly-generated levels. If you spend too long on 
all yono rummy a particular level, a ghost floats in and starts following you. One touch from the ghost kills you instantly. B_Rex apparently got curious if the ghost itself could be killed, and asked someone to use Cheat Engine 
to find the answer.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1473211457","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); The result is this video from HecticXXX9001 who made himself invulnerable to test out the theory. He does a good job explaining why they’re y1 games latest doing this and how it works: Once that was figured out, Bananasaurus_Rex got to work and did it without cheats, resulting in the video above.
