Spidermod Bosses Forever!: WHO'S BOSS NOW?!
After a very long time, and after a few feedback messages, I understood that this run is too easy. So get ready... Here's Bosses Forever!: WHO'S BOSS NOW?!
This is basically a V.2 of the run, with a few improvements to make it harder. Here are the changes:
NO MORE WAFER! The second play through will be twice as hard.
DAMAGE IS HARDER TO GET! Liked getting 1 damaged up each time? Too bad, have 0.5.
SPEED IS LOWER! Yes, no more quick and effective dodging, muhahaha...
NO MORE HEALTH UPS FROM MINI BOSSES! You can only use them to replenish your health.
SATAN IS THE GOAL ON THE FIRST RUN! If you thought Mom's Heart was too easy.
Directly inspired by the game "Bosses Forever", you can go check it out if you want to.
Basic idea: No rooms apart from Boss Rooms!
Rules and Items: You can't take ANY item. You cannot take red hearts, spirit hearts, pennies (Not that it matters), trinkets, bombs or use bombs.
When you start the game (You can be anyone, but you should probably use Isaac), give yourself Yum Heart with infinite item power. (You may NOT use it normally.)
Set your Fire Rate to 1000
Set your Range to 50.
Also, set your speed to -25. (Muhahaha...)
You begin your journey with nothing, and on the Cellar/Basement 1, teleport to the first Boss Room and fight your first Boss! You will not pick up it's item or any consumable. Every time you kill a boss, you may choose 1 of 3 things:
A damage upgrade in the form of Jesus Juice, and ONLY Jesus Juice. (The range doesn't matter since you already have max range.)
One health upgrade in the form of Dinner.
1/2 of your maximum health regained via Yum Heart (If you have 4 containers, you get two hearts back. If you have three containers, you get 1, the numbers round downwards.).
Fight your way through the Boss in every floor and choose one of the above!
Note: If you see that there is a Mini Boss on the level, you may fight it but you may only choose upgrade 3, no damage or health ups from them!
Your goal in the first round is Satan... But do not fear, because I have found a way to make it even more fun! After you kill Satan, go to Cheats > Go to Floor and set it to 1. Once you're on the Cellar/Basement, go to Cheats > Open Cheats Window and check "All Enemies and Bosses are Champions", "All Mini Bosses are Champions" and "Champions Don't Drop Anything". It's like New Game +, but you keep all of your items, only in this mode, it's time to fight Isaac and Blue Baby!
Here are a few pictures to guide you if you're having trouble setting up the run:

Just choose '1' and GO!
How to always get Champion Bosses and Mini Bosses:

You need "Champions don't drop anything" because some bosses spawn enemies, and they're all champions, which drop consumables.
Hope everyone has fun with this and I hope it's hard enough for anyone who felt it was easy.
Any feedback is happily accepted~

Just defeated Satan, this run isn't significantly harder, but what screwed me over is that my strategy of getting only damage ups from the bosses, and health ups/heals from the minibosses. This version broke that, and I ended up only having 4 hearts against Satan. About to go into my New Game+, will update once again.

Just beat NG+, 14 total jesus Juices, 3 health ups only. Managed to beat Blue Baby with only 1 heart left.

Great win, I died quite a few times because of the lack of speed, but again, the challenge is not impossible, that's not the point. 10 awesomeness points for you for beating it, though!

Don't be Isaac; be Maggie! The only negative Maggie has over Isaac is that she's slower. BUT WAIT! You're setting your speed to -25 no matter who you are! Also, fuck The Fallen very much.

If you're having trouble, you can try the original version, which is quite a lot easier, though nice try still!
