[General Discussion] Hardest. Level. Ever.

I can't think of a single game I've played that was harder than either Ghosts 'n' Goblins or Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. Both are among the hardest games ever made, especially when you consider we were playing them back in the day where if you died, you didn't get to go back to a save point or use a password (and I played these pre-emulator). No, you started back from the freaking BEGINNING. And of course, the beginning even had those little red fucks who would just swoop down and kill you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Doubly so, since you're forced into the battle if you save at the one prior to it and can't backtrack.

Yeah, I'll agree with that for the last part. I saved and I wasn't sufficiently buffed and usually died within a few hits. To be able to get past it, I had to start completely over at the beginning of the game and buff up before getting stuck in that trap again (also kept an additional save right outside just in case).

Wasn't a hard battle, just impossible if you didn't know it was coming.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
