Now you might be raising a Plasticine eyebrow as to why beloved British comedy duo Wallace and Gromit are appearing on a list of brutal sidequests, but let me adress this right now. The reason is simply because the sidequest to collect all of the coins on the Lava level is utterly broken.

The issue arises from the absolutely abysmal programming job that's been done on this game, especially the GameCube version, which thanks to having a code with more holes in it than Swiss cheese, means that a vast number of the barrels being thrown at you by enemies here ARE INVISIBLE. Great, just what you wanted from a game that has bizarrely accurate hitboxes, invisible obstacles that will kill you time and time again as you try to collect all the bloody coins in this bastard level.

Arguably one should never even bother attempting this challenge simply because the game stinks harder than even the bluest of fromage, and you'll be blue in the face should you ever try to complete this un-brie-lievably hard side quest.
