this level still haunts my dream...

Ouchies81 · 10 months

What's amazing is that despite not touching it for the better part of 2 decades, I still remember the sound of touching the seaweed and dying.

Grumpy_Kong · 10 months

And the worst part, is when you finally beat it for the first time, and exit up to street level... you WILL get run over and have to do it again.

Fakirr · 10 months

One game I have never completed. I hate it for that fact alone.

DannyInternets · 10 months

This is the kind of thing best spoken about over a beer, with long periods of somber quiet punctuated infrequently by barely audible sighs. It's like my generation's Viet Nam.

Samury · 10 months

I hated this level so much that I can taste in in my balls.

toolhedtim · 10 months

it puts the seaweed on the skin and it gets the zap again!

This level don't have shit on the technodrome part. Use to love the game though.

MizterFreez · 10 months

What about the part where you have to jump over the gap, but the ceiling is incredibly low...forcing you to go all the way around over and over!

flatlander00321 · 10 months

That's as far as I ever got in that goddamn game.

Decades later, I had to lack of sense enough to buy this game on the Wii, and I got no further.

Fuck. Hardest game ever.

This is right up there with the battle toads hover bike level, and any room filled with darknuts in the legend of zelda.

Frandaman760 · 10 months

The secret is that you can switch your turtles while your playing so if you were about to die with leo, you switch to raph and drain his life bar. That level is a mere precursor to a fowl and dispicable game

redux46 · 10 months

The nostalgia is strong in this one

MrEngenz · 10 months

So many controllers thrown in that level alone.

shinero · 10 months

I almost downvoted this submission simply because that level still makes me so angry. I had to restrain myself. A reluctant upvote for you, sir.

i used to watch my father do this level when i was around six years old. i thought he was god for completing it. honestly, i still think hes god for completing it.

shhitgoose · 10 months

Just a total nightmare. I loved that game up until you reached that level. Just unreal the hate that generated. I am getting angry right now looking at that pic...

LordPootington · 10 months

I knew what this was just from an cursory glance at the itty bitty thumbnail. That's how intensely this level is burned into my memory.

blitzkriegpunk · 10 months

Fuck EVERYTHING about this level.

yammez · 10 months

I remember this level being aggravatingly difficult when I was a kid, but when you play it later on, it's not so bad!

wx3 · 10 months

Sometimes, I wonder if it was the fact I was 5 that made it so difficult... Or if I still would lose to this day

FormerSlacker · 10 months

Pfft, with a little practice that level is a breeze. The later levels in the game are damn near impossible though.

BigBabyLuc · 10 months

Fuck that level, and fuck my dad for being boss at it!

I always considered it beating the game if you were able to get past this level without losing a turtle.

Not to brag, but...BOOM! I'm kind of a big deal.

OMG...I'm positive this level is what made me fear touching seaweed when I was a kid...it was all electric. I remember when I beat this for the first time.

Come on it's not that hard. I could beat it when I was 8. No, the Technodrome levels were hard..

the_nil · 10 months

Here is the whole game done in 19 and a half minutes.

The end of this game is randomized in that you don't necessarily fight the correct boss. The fellow playing this had played all the way to the end many times before getting the final boss.

Nitero · 10 months

Not even fair to put that level in front of a 5 year old. It has haunted me to this day...I JUST WANTED TO PLAY TTNG!!! :( totally tubular.

[deleted] · 10 months

This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

boredatworkbasically · 10 months

I really think that there is a whole generation out there (us) whom were trained in videogame difficulty to an extent such that we now, in our adult life, have a huge challenge trying to find difficulty in new games. This is perhaps because the new generation of games is much easier, but it also might because we have spent decades manipulating things with control pads and these days it is impossible to make a game that an 8th grader can get into but we would find challenging.

toafer · 10 months

this game was SUCH a love hate relationship

WaywardWit · 10 months

Wow... that sucks that your one and only dream is ruined by one of the most frustrating levels from TMNT. Hated that shit.

Ranilen · 10 months

Man, I remember being able to pretty reliably complete this level. Occasionally lose a turtle, but usually not even that.

These days? Can't even get to the first dam level...

BipolarBear0 · 10 months

I'm pretty sure every water level in the history of gaming has sucked.

Fortunae · 10 months

After dying endlessly on that level, I finally took the game cartridge to the garage where I smashed it into pieces.

I felt better, but my parents found out and refused to buy me any more video games for a year. lol

chriszerocool · 10 months

I was graceful as shit swimming in mario brothers! If I made it past this level I was lucky!

Rommel79 · 10 months

That level sucked dick.

GateheaD · 10 months

I used to mash all the buttons on the keyboard and you could just noclip through it

rimrimpimpim · 10 months

I have a video of my friend beating this game on my laptop at home. No cheats. Took weeks of practice. The video is hilarious. I'll have to upload it sometime.

kap216 · 10 months

This level is actually easy if you know where to go and switch turtles. It is not until about the 4th level where the game decides that you should not be winning.

fishcakes1254 · 10 months

i beat in in a month of non-stop playing

Wittyfish · 10 months

I actually got quite good at this level since i would always die at it. The last bomb was a mother B.

I kind of feel like I'm the only person that got through this level and I suppose I found it so easy that I don't remember having any trouble with it.
Now immediately afterward dealing with the enemy cars was a whole different issue.

McSqueeze · 10 months

Oh, this game... THIS GAME! I could never finish it. To this day I always die at the same spot. Some tight hallway in the Technodrome filled with guys in spacesuits and jetpacks. So hard. :(

lycao · 10 months

Fuck electric seaweed! and timers.

SadJoel · 10 months

It's that horrible sound in the background, and the timer... oh the timer... I had it for NES... Someone else must have as well.

Bro, why did you do this to me. I had forgotten all about this level. Life was good man! It's not fair, it's just not fair.

chaosblau · 10 months

Omg fuck you ninja turtles, this game was tough

Thanks for hooking me up with something to do for a little while. I'll be watching:

I'm already shaking/sweating from the anxiety...

This level was not NEARLY as bad as the next (or the 4th, which I only ever reached twice.)

[deleted] · 10 months

This game was so difficult.

FattyWantTwinky · 10 months

Why must you remind me of the pain and frustration of my childhood? I don't want to go back and replay this. I think I have may beat this level once.

weealex · 10 months

Holy crap, I just realized the 2 hardest games I ever played involved anthropomorphic water animals.

And I still need to beat one of them.

I'm not going to lie. As soon as I saw the pic, I had a brief flash of panic. Damn you, Goku, DAMN YOU!

DewFuel · 10 months

The worst part was the moment when you realize you're not going to finish it but still keep playing out of self-masochism.

PANTSoRAMA · 10 months

The platonic example of Nintendo Hard.

[deleted] · 10 months

This level was a piece of cake, it's the next one that gave me problems. Pretty sure I could get through this now without losing a turtle despite having not played the game in well over a decade. I beat the next level once, and my NES promptly froze. I haven't played TMNT since.

Git_Off_Me_Lawn · 10 months

I never used Raphael up to that point to insure I had a fresh turtle to do that part with.

Eventually I got way too good at it and could make it through with only a hit or two.

SonsOfLiberty86 · 10 months

Identification of this image should be a requirement for entrance to r/gaming, IMHO

demechman · 10 months

This was one of the few games I owned for the NES when I was a kid. I played it so much I actually wrote by hand a strategy guide with diagrams and notes. I even was able to find glitches that allowed for some easier play in difficult areas.

So yes, I remember this level but overall it wasn't hard if you were trying.

toadwarrior · 10 months

That game was the biggest bag of shit I've ever played. Even with the game genie hooked up I hated it. It was such a let down after playing the arcade version so for me there were no TMNT games on the NES until they ported the arcade version.

thebubz · 10 months

I went back and played it... beat it first time. I NEVER beat this when I was little.

Dr_Explosion · 10 months

I've heard there's an entire game after this level...

Barb0 · 10 months

No joke, I played this level at a buddy's house after never seeing it in like 15 years and beat that level first try... because I probably spent all of ages 6, 7, and 8 trying to beat it the first time.

soulonfirexx · 10 months

I remember the same sort of level but in Earthworm Jim 2? I think. The one where he's a worm sperm and has to navigate the vagina. Good stuff.

GoGoGadge7 · 10 months

That whole game was complete bullshit

megamanz7777 · 10 months

The PC version of this is worse. There's a level that has no record of being beat without a cheat code
