10 Times YOU Made A Video Game Harder

5. Playing As Proto Man - Mega Man 9 & 10

Mega Man 9 introduced the ability for players to play through the game as Mega Man's "older brother" Proto Man, who despite offering up a slide ability alongside his Proto Buster weapon, makes the game decidedly more challenging in a number of ways.

First and foremost, Proto Man receives double damage from enemies and is knocked back twice as far as Mega Man when hit, and worse still, he can only fire two shots at once instead of Mega Man's three.

This ensures that the already-challenging game becomes genuinely infuriating for all but the most hardcore devotees, and while players may have been allured by the prospect of something different, Proto Man really isn't worth a potentially broken controller.
