20 Most Frustratingly Difficult Video Game Levels Of All Time

8. Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Super Circuit)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PzfeGcaKwg On whichever edition of Mario Kart you play it on, Rainbow Road seems like an unfairly hard track, despite ostensibly seeming like a fun, colourful, jubilant area. Indeed, the pretty colours can be used against you €“ the tactical placement of a banana peel on the yellow sections of track make them aggravatingly hard to see to a sleep-deprived gamer. Combine this with the lack of guard rails and sloppy grip and it€™s no wonder that this track is widely considered to be the hardest of any racing game, whether you play it on the Wii, SNES, N64, GameCube or DS. However, the iteration of Rainbow Road on the GameBoy Advance is the most frustrating; the Inland Taipan in the pit of venomous snakes, if you will. The boost pads littering the map make it far too easy for your ill-fated kart to lose control and fall off the map€™s edge and the track generally feels a little narrower than other Rainbow Roads. These difficulty enhancing properties are catalysed even further by the limited visual of the GBA which makes winning this track a matter of luck more than skill. WhatCulture Tip: Know the course like you know your own mother€™s voice.
