Ninja Warriors | 86 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Mine would have to be Bopopolis (level 2K) from Donkey King Country Tropic Freeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,996 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Not sure if it counts, but I had a very high percentage on "Welcome To Jungle" on whichever Guitar Hero that was on, on the highest difficulty level. I wasn't one of those insane-o's capable of 100% the most difficult songs at the maxed settings, but I could be most of them at that level. At least the ones that were hard because of killer solos. Eventually you get to a point where you're not following dots on a screen, but patterns of play that had a "shape" on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Warriors | 86 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 I should clarify. Bopopolis using Donkey Kong from the Wii U release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Off the top of my head: Celeste B and C sides and strawberries - One of the finest games and soundtracks ever created. Super fun figuring out how to use your abilities as you slowly discover they exist. Defeated the final boss of Shinobi (PS2) - Relatively unknown and underappreciated game that is super stylish and hard as nails. Super Meat Boy 100% - Those bandages and that Wanna Be the Guy stage. The final levels in Trials HD/Evolution/Fusion - If you want a reason to smash your controller, just play these games. Holy difficulty curve, Batman! 45 Minute Challenge in Braid - One of the most fun and satisfying challenges I've ever negotiated. You have to plan out every move ahead of time and practice quite a bit, but totally worth it. If you've beaten this game, but never tried this challenge, you're missing out! Don't use a guide! Another all-time great. Awesome thread @Ninja Warriors! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,033 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Either 8-2 or 8-3 in Adventure Island. The game just gets ridiculously hard. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty doesn't change much in Level 6 and beyond, but those rounds are very challenging. You have to do so many of them to get the ending, plus each one has different enemy patterns to them. Tough, tough game to beat. I guess while I'm here, I'll also mention the last couple of pachinko stages in NES High Speed pinball, as well as the last stage in To The Earth.

In the same line, the Clu Clu Land stages when the coins start to flip over when you pass through them. Just like the later stages of Q-Bert, this totally quadruple the difficulty of the game all of a sudden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzombie | 929 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Difficulty is such a weird thing. If its something that I know I can do, but don't want to spend hours and hours memorizing and practicing, i'm not into it. Id rather let my 'skill' do the work. Which is why I haven't TRULY beaten Adventure Island (I did with a game genie, just to get to level 8 after playing for 2 hours and getting tired), or Ikari Warriors or Battletoads. So for that I salute you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,476 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 8-2 of Adventure Island probably. It probably wouldn't be bad if I played it regularly but it wrecked me. Even the jumps at the end of 8-3 I got down faster than I got down 8-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll throw in Battletoads, particularly the Terra Tubes, Rat Race & Clinger Winger. The waterfall stage in Werewolf: The Last Warrior is a pretty big PITA too.

I was thinking the Terra Tubes would be up there if it didn't have the 1ups that you can keep grabbing after you die. But it is a brutal stage, yeah. The Revolution is another contender because it's right at the end of a very difficult game, goes on forever, and only has two checkpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunsetflip84 | 3 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 8-3 of Adventure Island for me as well. Also the final level in Starship Hector is rough. Never beat Ikari Warriors, but it's on my "to do" list. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosoraptor | 468 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The I Wanna Be the Guy levels in Super Meat Boy. Before that, it was level A-D in Lost Levels and Overlord Baal in several Disgaea games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,611 Editorials Team · Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Pretty hard to say. Some that come to mind: Tiny Barbarian - final boss CoD World at War - any of them, on Veteran Battletoads - Rat Race or the Robo Manus level Super Ghouls n Ghosts - final level before last boss on 2nd loop Dungeon Master - final level Advance Wars - final level on hard Total Annihilation - Krogoth stage Darkest Dungeon - any Crimson Courtyard stage GoldenEye - a couple different stages on 00 Perfect Dark - War on 00 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Robo Manus level is one of the easier ones, IMO. Especially if you can hold on to the stick which lets you headbutt the fans and gas blowers. And there's the safe spot for fighting Manus on the far left. It's probably harder when going for low score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foochie776 | 1,064 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Some of the levels in Lolo 3 with the Moby’s nearly killed me. All those rounds of Beaver Bother in Donkey Kong 64... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m308gunner | 352 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 In modern gaming: The White Palace in Hollow Knight gave me a run for my money. Less recent: All of Battle Kid 1 and 2. (Would love to meet Sivak, but may just glower at him while giving him a firm handshake). Retro: Mike Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromite53 | 338 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, Reed Rothchild said: CoD World at War - any of them, on Veteran You are so right about this. That game was so tough to beat on Veteran. I remember the level in the flooded subway where they were everywhere. I ran into some issue when I made it to the end but the huge wave of water that ended the level wouldn't trigger. So I was lying down in the water getting grenades thrown at me and being shot from front and behind. Also Heart of the Reich when you are making that push into the front of the building. Grenades from everywhere. Wow thanks for bring back that trauma. Haha Edited November 7, 2019 by acromite53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
