10 GENIUS Ways People Beat Video Games

Topping this list is (as expected) Dark Souls. People have found many ways to beat one of the most challenging games of recent times. Including using a Rock Band guitar, voice commands, toasters, and the most ingenious one, bananas.

Now, you’re probably confused when I say somebody played a game with bananas. I already know what you’re thinking: they used the Donkey Kong banana controller from the Nintendo 64, right? No, this person beat Dark Souls 3 using approximately nine actual bananas.

By plugging in a series of bananas to a power source, Youtuber and Twitch streamer SuperLouis64 could trigger a command by tapping or pressing down on one of the pieces of fruit, whether it's attacking or using a classic Estus Flask.

After doing this, he proceeded through Dark Souls and streamed the game in 2017. He went through everything, including boss fights and PVP; some sections were more challenging than others, but he managed to deal the final blow to the Soul Of Cinder and beat the game with bananas. Later on, in 2020, he redid the challenge and managed to raise 700$ for St. Jude.
