AVG Brainstorming Seassion!

The hardest part was getting my dad to buy me the game.

Super Mario World: Yoshi Island 1 (the first level going left). The naked Koopa sliding toward Mario. <a href="https://ibb.co/ePkFHH" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ibb.co/ePkFHH</a>

Level 7 in Zelda was a tough one to find.

Figuring out you actually have to dip the physical letter in startropics to get a code.

Learning Van Keisers "tell" (a throwback to the Punch out Arc) or beating Jaws in the game jaws, or if you want just another reference, them beating the dragon in double dragon

Sticking with the SNES theme, the "Tubular" and "outrageous" levels on Star Road in Super Mario World.

Yes! In my mind, if you beat this level you've beat the game. Turn off the NES.

The water level in TMNT (without cheats). <a href="https://youtu.be/yF1KRe8u7k4?t=28m52s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/yF1KRe8u7k4?t=28m52s</a>

He wanted specific moments, not just the games themselves.

Getting past the first green enemy that throws crosses in Ninja Gaiden on the NES. Right next to a pit and was always super frustrating.

Wizards and Warriors Ice Fire Mountain level. Cobra Triangle, any level that makes you save swimmers.

Castlevania Medusa heads as just from the perspective of a kid, but any part of that game

The wall in Simon's Quest when you have to kneel with the crystal to pass. If it wasn't for Nintendo Power (I believe), I'm not sure we would have put it together from the clues.

As a kid in Zelda II: The Adventures of Link I always had a rather difficult time finding the hammer rather early in the game to get past a certain part in the overworld. The Great Wall of China level of Simpsons - Bart vs The World was by far the worst, but really any level in that game would possibly be a great choice. Those are specific instances I remember from my childhood that drove me crazy.

OH! Dark Link in Zelda 2 is another one.

Ice Climbers, Contra (Seriously, you need the code), StarTropics (Starts easy then boom, difficulty spike), and Air Fortress.

Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream fight

Christian Grimmett

The Underwater Stage in the Ninja Turtles game.

I remember my sister and I having a lot of trouble with level 4(I think) in the Gremlins NES game. It involved conveyor belt platforms and electricity. We would be screaming so loud that our parents eventually took the game from us haha.

Turbo Tunnel- Battleroads, Dam Stage-Ninja Turtles

Hmm, thanks to a video I saw yesterday I was reminded of something from Mario 3, the stage where you have to grab a shell and fly up to find the ending to the stage with no hint to put you there. I think it's world 3 stage 5? I'll keep in mind this post just in case I think of anything else later, but that's the only thing I can currently think of.
