10 Notoriously Difficult Levels In Video Games

2. Mike Tyson - Punch Out!

Punch-Out was a relatively difficult game requiring a fair amount of skill and expertise in timing to truly master. And those skills were put perfectly to the test when taking on the legend himself, Mike Tyson.

One of the hardest challenges in gaming well known for being so, Mike Tyson can immediately decimate an unwary player (and a wary one for that matter). Primarily uses uppercuts that one-shot the player or obliterate nearly or their health if blocked, he requires a lot of expertise to defeat. Not to mention his unpredictability and the fact that you have to use his eyes blinking as a visual cue as to when to attack.

When it comes to difficult levels, Tyson ranks up there with the scene being immediately recognisable for its difficulty. The game was even named after him in certain parts of the world, becoming a testament to the challenge that the fight imposed. Notoriously difficult and for good reason - much like the man himself.
