I was going to write a clever intro for this topic, but I couldn't think of one.

Anyway, here are my most frustrating video game moments:

- Racing Rottytops (Shantae)
I don't think anyone else besides me has played Shantae, but I'll describe the level: Roughly the same as the infamous jet ski level in Battletoads, but you're not warned which platforms are comeing

- Putting up with noobs (Any multiplayer game)
No explanation needed

- Getting past the barrel thing (Sonic 3)
For the longest time, I thought it was a glitch in the game. I had to look it up

- The &quotrincess in a box" puzzles (Prof. Layton and the Curious Village)
It's a combination of a slide puzzle with the Rush Hour game. There's almost no strategy to win; the hints actually say to not look at the other hints offered because they won't help. Not fun.

- Any battle frontier brain (Pokemon Emerald)
These bosses are extremely cheap with the pokemon they use. And items like potions and stuff can't be used either. Such a pain.

- Event 51 (SSBM)
Everyone knows about this. In Melee's event 51, you have to fight Mewtwo, Ganon, and giga bowser all at the same time. If you didn't know about the Jigglypuff trick, you were screwed

- Figuring out what to do next (Any Zelda game)
Maybe this is just me, but in between dungeons, I have no idea where to go next. This is the one reason why I don't like Zelda games and I've only beaten 1 so far. It's easier to figure out where to go next in metroid games! This seems to be a problem exclusive to me.

There are few of you that know what I'm talking about...
Restarting the game, after beating it with so much effort......


Ah, all that effort required to get to a certain point was for nothing. Story moments also do this to you. You get to a certain point in the game and then the story demands that you go back and go through an alternate route.

I for one hate jumping puzzles. I hate jumping from place to place to get to the other side. Fail at making a precise jump, you either die, or worse, fall all the way down to where you must make the trek up to where you jumped again. This is why I hate Super Mario Sunshine. EVIL MIDGET SATAN MUST DIE!

o-- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City -- The rally car mission.
o-- Grand Theft Auto: SA -- The 'City Slicker' mission, Supply Lines and... um... Mountain Bike Challenge.
o-- Zelda: MM -- The fish boss. I had lots and lots of trouble with that big willy.

Some puzzles in Aludra were also very frustrating.
