Gamers: Least favorite level/dungeon/area in a game?

[venomx]

CastleVania 1 - NES. Level 4 aka stage 10 to 12 (Frankenstein's Dungeon)

This level was always a challenge for me. Idk why lol...



Pic 1. If you dont have the clock to stop time the bats will fly all over you when you're jumping to the little platforms... get it wrong and you'll fall into the water for a quick KILL.



Pic 2. Frankenstein's Monster and Egor. Thats 'Igor'... whatever. Anyway It's hard to fight the Monster when Egor is jumping all over the screen shooting fireballs at you. Holy Water helps make this battle easy though.

Resident Evil for PS1 when the green head slicer guys come out.  Words can't say how annoying it is when you're one step from a save point and you get your head sliced off.  arrgggggg

[venomx]

Oh yes! The Hunters... they suck. Just when you think you are in the clear. NOT!

They are even a huge pest in the Rail shooter games.  They hit hard, dodge bullets, and they tons of damage!

Sonic 3.  The Carnival Night level.  And I speak strictly as a spectator here: I can still hear the screams.

Super Mario NES. The levels with 1up tricks. I could NEVER do it. It's too hard.

Going back to Mega man (still the hardest game in the series IMO).. I used to REALLY hate the things that would shoot at you while you had to jump on their heads.  If they shot you or you missed your jump you fall to your death.  And later on one of the Wily levels you get to traverse an area with spikes and these guys would be there.  If you stayed too long on one they'd push you up against the spiked ceiling.  $#!+!!!

I HATE the final boss of Fatal Fury 1, Geese Howard.  Cheap beyond belief, and MUCH easier in successive games in the series.

After all these years I still REALLY HATE the Eggplant men from Kid Icarus.

The damn clock tower level of Castlevania 3. 

[indianasmith]

Oh yeah!  I'd forgotten how much I hate the outer circle of Hircine's Ice maze in the BLOODMOON expansion to Morrowing.  I got killed like six times in a row earlier.  One werewolf, or two, I can handle.  SIX AT A TIME?  I go down like a submarine, only I don't get up again!

[Mr. DS]

I hate any level of the GTA game series when my guy is almost in the clear and then decides to get winded.  It drives me friggin' nuts because at that point he gets gunned down easily.

The stage where you unlock Yo-Yo in Jet Grind Radio for the Dreamcast.
Once you figure out where to go, it's actually fun, but there is NO indication as to where to go.
Or perhaps it's just me.

[Leah]

the third level of Battle toads.

[The Gravekeeper]

The Water Temple from Ocarina of Time. Yeah, I know almost every Zelda fan hates it and it's a bit of a cliche to say you hate it, but it is an unnecessarily difficult level with an ongoing puzzle that you're just about guaranteed to screw up if you don't have a walkthrough right in front in front of you.

At least the game's creator apologized for one of the most annoying aspects of that level: having to go into your inventory frequently to constantly equip and unequip the Iron Boots to sink or float as needed.

The damn clock tower level of Castlevania 3. 

It seems I agree again...

I believe most of the clock towers in the CastleVania games are difficult.
It's all because of those damn flying Medusa heads.

Actually Joe I'd nominate any level past the first one on Ninja Gaiden for NES.  I have bite marks on my NES controller from that game.  I beat it once, never went back.

I still have not forgiven that game, and probably never will.  Strangely, I still rate it an 8 out of 10.  To be honest, though, I'm not a big fan of the Ninja Gaiden series.  I wasn't all too impressed with the new stuff and I don't care for the arcade beat 'em up.  The first two on NES are the only ones I really care for.

As a kid I hated that ! I've never pleayed the game as an adult for all I know I could do it rather easily now, but it took over a year to do that level.
My sis then deleted the save files and, I kid you not, I cried.

Similar thing happened to me when I played Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.  I was really close to the end of the game and my mom let my niece play it.  She deleted my file.  Not nearly as aggravating as your situation, but still disheartening starting over.

Ghosts 'n Goblins Third level can't make it past the multiple gargoyles and still have never done it. 

THe GNG series is another one that only has select games that I care for.  By "Select games," I really mean "one game on the Sega Genesis."

I also seem to remember there being a really irritating dungeon in Beyond the Beyond that had invisible holes everywhere. I swear to god that dungeon took me an entire week to complete.  So not worth it, too, as that game is horrible.
