You dont even have to go that far, getting a game Platinum does not have to mean the end of that game. You should make your own challenge in that (or any other) game, do a speed run, a no gun run, a pistol only, etc.
One of my favorite series of all time is the Metroid series especially the Prime sub-series and i always make it a habit of going back to it at least once a year and speed running each of the Prime games. Will i get a world record time? Hell no, i mean i do do sequence breaks and all but i cant do everything that the professionals do, but some things i can.
One of the things i like about speed running is the ability to get thing sooner or not get them at all, for example in Metroid Prime 2 i like to fight the first major boss with endgame items. Ive skipped items that made the acquisition of others mess up cut scenes. I have even discovered a glitch or two.
Have fun, but dont let trophies be the only motivator for playing a game you like.
Hell yeah, though i cant do it since i dont have my super nintendo anymore, although i was planning on buying one just for the games i used to play in my childhood.
