Hardcore mode

Hardcore mode was a special mode which was unlocked in Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. It was only unlocked after the player had acquired 24 skill points.

Specifications
In Hardcore mode, the player must start a game from scratch (however the save isn't erased). The player can't save and he comes back to the beginning of the game if he dies once. There's no checkpoint, since any death is a game over. To beat this mode, the player must make his way to Otto Destruct and beat him without dying a single time.

This mode is available on all versions of the game (PSP and PS2, PAL and NTSC).

Reward
Beating hardcore mode unlocks nothing, but the first ten people who beat this mode were featured on the High Impact Games website
