This isn't actually in the spirit of the thread, but it's filed under frustratingly difficult console platformers in my head and pissed me off to no end during my childhood so here goes. Ladies and gentlegoons: Adventures of Yogi Bear This may look like your average cutesy platformer for kids, the kind of mass-produced drivel that gets pumped out wholesale whenever a soulless franchise discovers video games. And it was. The formula is simple enough, run along platforms, kill bad guys, collect lunchboxes, don't die or run out of time. You know the drill. The frustration came in the form of the minecart level, where you'd get in a minecart and ride along a set of rails, occasionally jumping to dodge steel bars. Hit the bar, and you get knocked off the cart and die instantly at the pottom of a pit. Again, pretty easy stuff except halfway through the level it started throwing higher bars at you that seemed downright impossible to jump over. For months my brother and I would play the game, get to the minecart level and then die to that first tall bar. We got so good at riding that minecart that we could play it in our sleep, but we never cleared That loving Bar. We could probably have walked across the level on the thousands of bloodied bear corpses below. It was taunting us. That loving Bar became our nemesis. It was our reason to get up in the morning, to finally get past That loving Bar. We didn't even care about the rest of the game anymore, in fact we hated it. Our hatred for That loving Bar was the only thing that brought us back, we refused to be bested by an inanimate rod. In the end we never beat the minecart level. We eventually decided to accept defeat, or risk insanity. Years went by, the game was forgotten and we went on with our lives. One day at least a decade later if not more, for absolutely no reason, I was reminded of Adventures of Yogi Bear and That loving Bar. Something dawned on me that made me want to cry. You're supposed to duck under the tall bar.
