Top 10 Hardest Video Game Levels
The Aztec is a very hard level. I beat it only once on 00 Agent, but I haven't done it ever since. It's still a fun level though, and it adds a challenge to the game!
*le sigh* This level was ridiculous. I tried my best not to rage, but after over 75 (I was counting) tries in 5 consecutive days, I gave up. The next day, my friend came over and tried Tubular. He beat it on his third try. I'm just gonna smash a couple of glasses now...
So hard I still haven't beaten it! I'm glad this is number one because it deserves it!
This level was so hard that I never played the game ever again.
Two players make things even worse because if just one of you dies, you both have to start over regardless of whether the other is alive and going strong. Sadistic level along with the Rat Race and the Clinger Winger.
Harder level than any level on this list. This level is notorious for being the hardest level in a video game.
This should be #1, as it aggravates more people than any other level. Very few people have ever beaten it.
You might not think it's that bad at first, but then... THAT WIND!
Just beat it. Finally. It's been so many years.
What's better than an underwater level with a time constraint? An underwater level with a time constraint and electric coral that gives you just a pixel's room of error to move through it.
That damn dam...
Might as well rename it to damn. Because you'll be saying it over 9000 times during this level.
To have any chance against Death (unless you're a ninja behind the controller), you need to keep the holy water you get at the beginning of the stage. This means you need to do a near-perfect run throughout the entire stage. This also involves getting through a hall with knights and Medusa heads, which is near impossible.
Just wait and see the darker side of the moon in Super Mario Odyssey. Although the darker side is not as hard with assist mode...
This and Champion's Road (that one was even worse) are the two levels of hell in the 3D Mario series. Thanks a lot, Rosalina.
Just beat it. Not even exaggerating when I say I died 500+ times trying.
The Newcomers
I've actually beaten this biotch of a boss rush. Took me 3 months, but I did it.
How is this 16? I get why Tubular would be harder, but this should at least be number 5 because it's boring and hard. Switching your boots every 4 seconds is the worst. Now, it did have Dark Link and he's semi-fun to fight, but I got ticked when I found out after all that crap, I fight a stupid water creature.
This level is pretty much a 100 km maze with three stories and different water levels to navigate between them. It took me a solid month to find three keys. Just jump down to the bottom, explore every room, raise the water level, jump back down to the bottom, explore every room again, raise the water level again, jump back down and explore, lower the water level, explore every room on the second floor...
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY.
Are you kidding me? How is this not one of the highest levels in difficulty? This level literally made you glitch it at a certain point just to even think of beating it! SO HARD!
Screw this one. You have to have a precise jump and there's always an enemy that reappears.
I kinda sorta had to look up a walkthrough to 100% this godforsaken level.
Oh my gosh. This level is a goddamn nightmare. It is Turbo Tunnel ramped up to EXTREME. I haven't beaten this level yet. I don't even want to explain how bad this level is. Don't even get me started on Rat Race...
If you thought The Perfect Run, Special World-8 Crown, and even Mystery House Marathon weren't already hard enough, have fun wasting countless lives here.
This is where you had to traverse war-torn Arnhem in occupied Holland. Throughout, you and many British NPCs had to fight four isolated battles, including snipers, tanks, and Panzer squads.
Probably the hardest level in the game. This has Panzer tanks, Panzergrenadiers, snipers, and riflemen, all attempting to shoot your ass off.
Why are all these easy-as-pie Nintendo games ahead of this? Arnhem Knights is a REAL challenge in comparison.
