Notes:
This run took place over two days with a break after Cell Stage. The timer reflects all time spent in game.
Waiting for the Civilization Stage buildings to heal was not necessary for this challenge. I thought it would be funny at the time and I didn’t think they would take that long to be repaired.
I accidently deleted the cell for Generation 8 from the Sporepedia during the run, which is why it appears blank in the final timeline. This does not affect the game at all, but is pretty interesting!
This is my first run to include Saving restrictions. I tried to balance enough saves to make the run speedrun viable to reliably be beaten in one play session, while also preventing cheesing our way past the challenge.

It's always interesting to see the unusual challenges you come up with in Spore. Also, I like the custom Spore-achievement-style banners you use in the video thumbnails, they're a nice detail.
I really expected you to just reset after you got omnivore from cell, but you actually had a harder backup strategy, damn 😀
Are you playing spore on 60 fps or 30? And if you play on 60 how can i play 60 fps too?
Fire bro
The best Spore content creator of all time, love these videos!
i love you kinglyvalance
6:56 wait what really???
im starting to love what you're doing to spore, youre the one who can make a 15 years old game entertaining its awesome and it gets me more and more hyped for spore 2 but sadly it will never exist without making EA think its a good idea, because they may think they'll waste their money. and also i have like 1000 ideas of spore 2 if one of them is missed im disliking spore 2 so i think its better i do it myself somehow.
Yeah! Another KinglyValence video!
wait you can get vehicles from destroying tribes in civ stage? ive been playing this game my entire life and i never knew this what
I kinda do something similar, but a tiny bit more merciful: I'm allowed to take damage, I'm just not allowed to die; and this also extends to pack members, tribe members, vehicles, etc. Also no restrictions on breeding, but similar checkpoint restrictions.
If someone suggested that I do this damageless I probably would have laughed in their face.
A little trick I discovered in cell stage is lining up the spikes just right next to the carnivore mouth, so they’re pointing straight forward like tusks while not deleting the mouth by taking its spot. It’s a bit tricky, often takes me a few tries.
Once you do that, not only can you parry another carnivore’s attack, but you can actually stab through their mouth, eliminating the need to dodge behind them in a 1v1 to get a hit in. Might be helpful in a challenge like this to avoid being damaged while still getting the meat you need.
Can you beat spore with 1 HP? No need of reloading, just everything you have is on 1 HP.
comment for the algorithm 🙂
Hey King! I was thinking of doing your pitiful worm run, but with the omnivore cell mouth. The goal would be to finish as blue on every stage, the biggest difference would be doing civ on economic xD would you be insterested?

Back when I played spore as a teen this is why I always made anything but my mouth and spikes tiny in the editor.
Is there any reason you don't make these parts tiny so they're less of a target and the spikes as large as possible so they protect and attack better?
It doesn't cost any more DNA and just takes a second to scroll the mousewheel.
Oo, you watch obsidian… also great job done, GGs
How about an anti-pacifist run, where you can't do anything without being aggressive? So only eating food from cells/creatures you've killed, only gaining food in tribal stage by stealing it, and only using spice derricks and buildings you capture from other civs. I think it would be interesting because aside from cell stage, you'd actually be able to get any consequence traits you wanted. Oh, and it's a no-death run.
The joy I feel when I see a new video from you 😄
A Russian youtuber Obsidian Time have done this glitchless and without saving
Awesome run! I always love seeing your videos pop up on my feed.
One of the challenge runs that I always wanted to do in Spore. Thanks for doing it!
Very cool!
So excited to sit down and watch, thanks for your spore uploads and the subtitles as always!! ❤
can you do a space stage 100% run?
spore used to work on my pc just fine but around februrary it simply stopped booting up, it would crash at the main menu. the game will not stop manifesting my dreams. i can feel my creatures calling out to me whenever i sleep

I only have one question after seeing this beautiful gameplay: how the hell did you end up as an 'omnivore' in cell stage???
Thanks for the video!
Nice job!
awesome
Great run! I admire your persistense!
I wager that this arrow between Omnivore and Carnivore was just visually placed askew , but the in-game statistics or something counted your Cell Stage progress as Omnivore anyways,
Do new content. 😒🤚
Use content from Russian
youtuber. 😄👍
there's only one way to make this harder; No Damage Worm
I usually refer to the deflection with other cells as fencing, especially if it goes on for a minute. When they turn away you can get a good stab in, and that usually puts them on the run.
I loved the Shaman archetype, it made my life easier and happier in the Space Stage. Thanks to the ghost ship glitch and the Return Ticket it has been very easy to get to the Center of the Galaxy 🥳🌌
great epizode, looking forward to seeing more challenge runs!
That was really fun !
I keep learning new things about a 15 year old game! This gotta be a world record or something

Got a different even more evil idea:
Destroy every planet in spore without taking damage
love your videos man
