[General Discussion] Games that make you feel retarded

Probably the most shameful one was Carnival Night Zone on Sonic 3. You know, the bobbing platform that you can't move past unless you press down on it while you're spinning on it? I didn't figure that one out until last year. I'll let you do the necessary math and come to the shameful conclusion.

Also, Down the Tubes from Eathworm Jim 1. There's this part where you have to carefully navigate a glass bubble past craggy rocks before your air runs out. At one point you're given 99 seconds. I felt I had that part down to a science, but could never reach the finish line in time. Fast-forward three years later, while thumbing through an old Nintendo Power, I discovered that there was an air-refuel pump behind an illusionary wall midway through that 99-second part. I don't remember anything after that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
