8 Impossible Video Game Hard Modes You Must AVOID

The F-Zero games are well known for their ludicrous speed and the difficulties of winning races that come with this. You might literally grind your fingers to dust before completing some of the challenges in the later X and GX offerings. Seriously they were that hard in places.

However, it's not like the original SNES title was a slouch when it came to breaking sound barriers and players' limits, as the unlockable Master Mode was a nightmare that even sadomasochists would give a wide berth.

Here even regular or "stock" racer AI was dialled up to maximum and turned them from being just another obstacle to speed past into genuine competitors. Such was the accuracy you'd need to best these opponents that it was genuinely worth restarting if you suffered more than a few bumps of the barricades and to really hammer the point home, some players dug into the code and found out that completing Master Mode was literally impossible if you selected certain racers!

Even with a perfect tool-assisted run, they found it was impossible to generate the speeds needed to beat the games crushing AI racers. Imagine finding this out the hard way!
