DKC2 was definately a step up in difficulty, however by this point I was too good due to the first game having the level "Snow Barrel Blast". Seriously, that level pissed me off so much as a kid, as soon as the snow started getting bad and the bees got more ballistic, I would lose it. Luckily there is a port hidden at the bottom, but it doesn't matter since it was pretty hard to hit straight on. Oh and the kicker was if you get through the barrel part kick enough, they give you a 3 life balloon. Fuck you!

Battletoads was pretty tough, but Snake Rattle n' Roll was also super fucking frustrating. Battletoads was cheap whereas SRnR was just difficult to judge on what to do because of how the screen was set, also it didn't help it was timed and you could very very easily lose your footing. Battletoads has a few difficult stages, but SRnR seemed to just want to fuck with you the father you got. I only got to the 4th level before I turned it off, at least Battletoads was fun albeit difficult.

Catching the Hylian Loach in Zelda TP damn near broke my fucking arm.

Trying to be GTA: San Andreas without using any tricks. I'm not talking about using cheat codes, I'm talking about hiding, using vastly superior weapons in cases where you aren't supposed to use them or driving cars you're not supposed to. Now I know this game doesn't have some sort of linear gameplay and you're given chances to pretty much do what you want, but something like gangwars, no one is fucking stupid to just go into it and just start kicking ass, because you'll get fucked up...big time. Most of the time, you'll be looking for places to hide in a way to have some sort of advantage such as being on top of a building and moltoving the approaching gang with fire. Sure, it's not really cheating, but I doubt the game developers wanted you to do things like this, but NOT doing it might result in you getting destroyed in seconds. As far as using superior weapons when you shouldn't? There's a mission where you have to chase down a fleeing helicopter, get out of your car then shoot the thing down with a rocket launcher. Sure, it's not impossible, however the mission is quite long, and it's very easy to fuck up. So as soon as I need to start to chase down the heli, I stop by the airport and grab the heat seeking rocket launcher, which automatically locks on the asshole so it will hit no matter what. And driving a car you're not supposed to? There's a race you have to do very early in the game in the 2nd city. You can choose any car you want, however the terrain is shitty and it's very very easy to lose control and lose. The best car for the job is literally the Power Wheels ripoff 4 wheeler. You'll get your ass kicked as far as driving, but you can turn much easier and go over areas the other people can't. There are other cars to use here, but fuck that...I hate shitty races that spontaniously can fuck you up depending on what spawns in front of you. There's also about a dozen or so missions in the game that are flat out frustrating to the point you'll want to rip your hair out.

That's actually a much later mission. I'm refering to the mission where Mike Toreno is fleeing. I'm very glad Toreno lives, he was definately the coolest character in the game.

It's gotten to the point where I don't try for the loach anymore. I gave up on that premise forever ago.

If I didn't have to use the motion controls, I wouldn't be as pissed about it. The sinking lure definately works best.

Also I did this twice, because I triggered a glitch in the Twilight Temple that doesn't allow me to go any further. And Nintendo FAILS to acknowledge despite that I explained it to them.
