10 Awesome Video Game Levels Nobody Remembers

1. The Glitz Pit - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Released for the Gamecube in 2004, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door belongs in the Psychonauts hall of fame for especially impressive level design.

The Glitzville Fighters Pit level in particular may be a touch lost to time now, especially for new gamers, but hey, that’s what this list is for. You’ll initially seek to take the Crystal Star off of the current arena champion Rawk Hawk but it’s a little more complicated than that. Eventually you discover there’s a great mystery going on around the arena, and meeting and interacting with its characters is delightful.

It seems like you’re just doing a basic set of arena matches and then the real story and gameplay of the level unveils itself.

You’ll get a series of cryptic emails to decipher from someone known only as ‘X’ and I won’t spoil it all here just in case but it’s a load of fun to get to the bottom of everything that’s going on here. Admittedly this one is pretty long for a single level but it’s well loved by those who remember it and not remembered enough so there you have it.
