Levels that drive you bonkers

[Michael Danehy]

The first part of the "Traps" level for Shinobi 3 is killing me! The game is pretty much a cakewalk until this level... I mean, you'll have racked up 7 lives and then burn through them all trying to make those @$#%#% jumps on those increasingly small stone platforms and winged ninjas throwing stars at you... Arghghghghghgh. You'll make a ton of progress and then one botched double jump and it's starting over from the beginning.

 

But it's such a fun, immensely playable game that I have to keep trying, y'know?

I remember the level with the Demon fish in the Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden.   I go up them and one would grab on to me and then the rest would join in and tear me to shreds.   I spent about 20 minutes getting past it until I gave up and read a GameFaq.   I found out you should switch to your nunchuk and use the spinning fire spell.   That made it easier, and this level actually became fun.

I finally gave up on NG when I got to chapter 12, the level with the ice and fire caverns. I couldn't figure out what to do anymore. Then I sold back my XBOX so I'll probably never see the four subsequent chapters. Oh well.
