for me it was batman forever. this loving game required you to use the grappling hook to get further in the first level, but required performing some arcane button combination like select+up. couldn't press them at the same time, either, it was on some kind of weird delay. i got the game from a garage sale without the instruction manual, and this was before the internet was really i thing so i basically never got to see more than the first 15 seconds of the game.

what games confused you with their wiles as a kid?

edit:whoa, i am a colossal moron. meant to post this in imp zone. do whatever you need to do with this, mods.

I will say that I'm pretty sure when I played Super Metroid I never fell prey to the infamous Noob Bridge (bridge leading to red brinstar you had to dash across) or the dreaded Noob Tube (glass tube leading to maridia you need to power bomb) as a child. Watching the attract mode definitely helped with that though.

Never managed to see the end of Great Cave Offensive in Kirby Super Star, though.

Was that a Game Boy game?

I was in a similar situation, I somehow got my hands on some Game Boy batman game as a kid and I just could not figure how to get out of the first room in the game. I did have the instruction manual, and it was useless.

No, this was on SNES. Although there was a gameboy version of Batman Forever, so it may have had a similar issue. I've never played the gameboy version though.
