10 Video Games With "That One Level" Everyone Hates

10. Sand Bird Is Born - Super Mario Sunshine

Admittedly, there's no shortage of levels in Super Mario Sunshine that belong on this list. But Sand Bird Is Born holds a special, dark place in our hearts.

The level sees you trying to collect red coins on the back of a giant bird made of - you guessed it - sand. The challenge is trying to navigate a large, moving creature without falling off. The coins are precariously placed on the most narrow, most mobile parts of the bird, such as the tail, head, and tips of the wings.

But the real enemy in this level is the game's slippery physics. It doesn't take much for any movement of the bird to send Mario sliding. You'll often find yourself within arm's reach of a coin, only to slip and slide right into the sky below.

What's worse is the moment when the bird, for no reason at all (except to infuriate you), turns sideways. Sunshine's physics make this moment a nightmare. You can't trust your eyes - the point at which you slip isn't precise enough. It takes trial and error to find the sweet spot, forcing you to repeat the entire level for every error.

It's still so aggravating just thinking about it.
