2. Propeller Knight Boss Fight - Shovel Knight
The Challenge: This superb throwback to classic NES games is even more unforgiving than some of those games ever were, and is never more of a pain in the a** when taking on the Propeller Knight boss. Why It's So Difficult: Propeller Knight darts around the level in unpredictable, incredibly fast fashion, jabbing at you with his blade, firing projectiles and even having a ship fire cannonballs at you from a distance. The game as a whole has earned a fair share of both infamy and fandom for its difficulty, and no moment in the game is quite as punishing as this fast-paced and immensely stressful battle.
