10 Video Game Moments So Difficult They Were Just Unfair
10. Donkey Kong 64 - Beaver Bother
In this bonus stage, you take control of a little crocodile who has to bite at beavers, forcing them to run away. If the little rodents run into the hole in the centre of the room, you get a point. You need to make a certain amount of beavers fall into the hole before the time limit runs out in order to win a Golden Banana.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it isn't. Not even a little bit.
In fact, I have a theory that this bonus stage was only inserted into Donkey Kong 64 because the game hates you. First off, the timer is really tight. Even speed-runners tend to complete it with a second or two left on the clock.
The other problem is that the beavers don't always respond to your character. Most players lose the mini-game repeatedly with only one beaver left who refuses to fall into the hole no matter what you do.
Luckily, you don't need to complete this mini-game to win Donkey Kong 64. But if you are a completionist, I vow that Beaver Bother will be the bane of your existence.
