Starfox adventures had a bunch of things for me. It's been a long time so I don't remember everything. But one of them was that a press section where you push your opponent into a hole
Lightfoot Test of Strength. It's coded to rubber-band much the same was as Canary Mary's button mashing races in Banjo Tooie; the key is to pick up a sustainable mash rate that gradually pushes him and then only go full speed right as you get close to winning, because it takes a bit of time for his rubber-banding to ramp up.
This, the Test of Fear is my most feared (lol) part of SFA each time I think about replaying it, and I always forget when it's coming up until it is too late
Finding you you have to play Command AGAIN to get the other nine endings. Doesn’t make sense with the meme, which is literally about wanting to play the game, but … NINE MORE TIMES WITH A WALK THRU SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE YOU MAKE EVERY APPROPRIATE CHOICE??
Heck.
The first run you're also locked to a certain path, so you won't be seeing EVERY thing multiple times but a vastt majority would be the same levels.
Unironically pulled a Shadow the hedgehog
Unironically pulled a Shadow the hedgehog
That... Is a lot more accurate than it has any right to be lmao. Never played Command myself, but I do own Shadow the Hedgehog and can say basically the same thing (except without having to play all 10 of the available endings to get the final "true ending" lol).
I once did a quick playthrough of the SF64 on my switch while waiting for something at an event. I mentioned to a friend that "this part took me hours of grinding to get the medal" and then I first tried it on accident and my jaw was on the floor. Cruel luck.
Either the Lightfoot Test of Strength, Krazoa Test of Fear, or that dumb 4-colored spinning flame wheel water spout puzzle in the second visit to Ocean Force Point Temple.
None of the more traditional games really have that pain point for me.
In SF64: Aquas
In Adventures: Lightfoot strength test, and also the part where Fox is strapped to a pole and they take turns stabbing him D:
In Assault: Probably the final descent into the Aparoid homeworld. I remember it as being particularly difficult.
The one that sticks out to me the most was Assault's Corneria. God, those radar jammers were such ass to deal with, especially on such a large map. It *kinda* made up for it in the second half of the level, but that doesn't change that the first half sucked lol.
I generally avoid Sector X, Z and Fortuna in 64 because they aren't nearly as enticing to me.
But you're talking to someone whose favorite levels are Aquas, Macbeth and Solar. I have no account of taste. 🤣
That smugger’s outpost in Assault, where you fight Wolf and his crew, the space part outside was fine but GOD the inside of the base was a pain
I would like to append my answer, as I have just been reminded of the hellscape that was the Apparoid city
That final Star Wolf fight in SF64 after Area 6. I keep getting straight PERSECUTED by Star Wolf! That said, it was the first time I felt that level of genuine satisfaction beating a video game boss.
For SD64, I actually like Aquas. I wish the Blue Marine got more use. I hated it when I was a kid, but only because it was hard. Felt great beating that shit, though. Area 6 can be annoying, but that's only because I'm a perfectionist and always need that gold medal.
Assault: Entire game is gold imo. The lack of checkpoints on on-foot levels for the silver/gold medals is annoying, but I never understood the seething about them. The default controls aren't hard or bad, they just came at a time before every shooter in the world used the exact same controller config. Which is still an option anyway, since can just change the control scheme to the modern version (Mode B) if you want!
Zero: The stupid fucking forced motion controls, and dual-use of the gamepad and TV. It's the equivalent of GameFreak forcing people to use the controller all janked to "throw" the pokeball in the Let's Go games (the "GO" mechanic being forced in ruins the game enough). When will these fucking goobers at Nintendo and friends realize that literally nobody wants forced motion controls? At least give people the option.
SF2: I played it for 20 mins, sucked ass, almost got nae nae'd by fucking Pigma, couldn't get used to the controls. Still need to give it another shot sometime.
I haven't played the original Star Fox SNES or Command... I did rent Adventures a few times as a kid, but I blow ass at puzzley games in general. For me, the thrill of "finally figuring it out" has never outweighed the 17 hours of being stuck on some bullshit puzzle. It was enjoyable as a rental, though, and I still think it's a good game (though not really for me).
When i played Star Fox 64, I always got stuck fighting Star Wolf the second time you fought them. They're so difficult, and it made me realize I was NOT good at this game, lol
Test of Fear.
Literally had to mute the game.
Even when you memorise the entire pattern there is absolutely zero room for a millisecond of imprecision.
I‘d go with the cloudrunner ride on dragon rock. The horrible aiming, constant missles and low hp was a real nightmare. I think I gonna start playing that game again soon, I really love it
God of war Ragnarok with the jotunheim part, it was fun and good story the first time, but after that it becomes a long 1-2 hrs of tedious fetch side quests that you can't skip and can't rush angrboda so yeah the rest of the game is great just that part is so long I get it's for story purposes, but it was so boring...as it was all fetch quests with one boss fight.

It's because of that segment, I am now a devotee to the Church of the Auto-fire Button (or whatever it's called).
I ran a spoon over the A button during that bit.
I did a electric shaver lol
I had to get my dad to beat that section for me because I was stuck on it for TWO YEARS

Just replayed that moment a while ago. Actually wasn't as bad as I remembered it.
As a kid I could never beat that without a trick or auto fire button. Now in my 30s, I can do it easily.
Test of strength in Adventures
Nothing compared to Test of fear, which I broke both my hand and the button from constant pressing.
This, the Test of Fear is my most feared (lol) part of SFA each time I think about replaying it, and I always forget when it's coming up until it is too late
Yeah, sometimes the red strip just goes the other way and never stops on matter how many times you press.
You know what. All of lightfoot village kind of sucked

Also, rescuing Tricky on the Jet Bike in Adventures before meeting the Queen Earthwalker the first time.
Me, decided to get the gold medal in all levels. The team members decide to be useful and blast one of the 6 missiles for me.
Oh holy hell when they blow a missile… that’s like stubbing a toe. Fuck.
I once did a quick playthrough of the SF64 on my switch while waiting for something at an event. I mentioned to a friend that "this part took me hours of grinding to get the medal" and then I first tried it on accident and my jaw was on the floor. Cruel luck.
Aquas.
Aquas in 64 and the default route in Command
Yeah gold medal on Sector Z for sure.
Pigma. Literally just…Pigma.
Either the Lightfoot Test of Strength, Krazoa Test of Fear, or that dumb 4-colored spinning flame wheel water spout puzzle in the second visit to Ocean Force Point Temple. None of the more traditional games really have that pain point for me.
God I HATED the color flame puzzle. Thinking of it fills me with rage
Mission for saving corneria in starfox assault
For me its gold medal Aparoid city. At least War Comes Home had the wolfen ride
Never had a problem with thr apparoid city tho
The Pigma boss fight in Assault.
SF64 Aquas and either of the landmaster levels. Basically if I'm not in an Arwing I don't want it.
I always thought the train level itself was cool but yeah landmaster is a batch to use
"STEP ON THE GAS!" The level is pretty satisfying when you hit all the switches and make him crash into the base
The enemy boss dialogue really adds a ton to this game! "I cant STOP IT!!!"
"NO! Get away!"
It really does. Most of them are super iconic to me. I still quote "UNCLE ANDROSSS!!" to this day.
Sector Y in 64 since your required to play it in order to do aquas and zones
Solar.
“My organs are melting!!!!”
*•points to my organs•* these babies can handle temps up to 9,000 degrees!! But my sustain pedal melted, so … there’s that.
Your father would never have done such a thing
The underwater mission in 64
Area 6
64: Aquas Assault: Aparoid Homeworld
Left face: Me playing through Corneria and Meteo/Sector Y in SF64 Right face: Me realizing I have to play Aquas, Katina or Fichina afterwards
In SF64: Aquas In Adventures: Lightfoot strength test, and also the part where Fox is strapped to a pole and they take turns stabbing him D: In Assault: Probably the final descent into the Aparoid homeworld. I remember it as being particularly difficult.
Every drone mission in Zero. I like the game but the drones slow everything down to the point where I have actually turned the game off.
great commander from star fox 1 unless you're using nova bombs, he's really hard to hit! 😣
Test of Fear, StarFox Adventures.
Peppy's sacrifice in Assault
Slippy getting his dumbass smacked down and the team having to rescue his ass. That entire mission brings up a hatred I didn’t know I had
SF1 left Corneria - right the framerate SF64 Zones - Aquas Assault Fortuna - Katina Zero Star Wolf in Sector Beta - Gyrowing in Zones
The one that sticks out to me the most was Assault's Corneria. God, those radar jammers were such ass to deal with, especially on such a large map. It *kinda* made up for it in the second half of the level, but that doesn't change that the first half sucked lol.
Out of This Dinension, Star Fox
Aquas in Star Fox 64. I loved every single other level in that game. Except for Aquas, that one sucked the most.
64 Titania/MacBeth/Aquas Assault - Aparoid Homeworld Command - Aquas Zero - Fichina
Freeing the long neck in Adventures. For the life of me I cannot stand the staff controls.
I generally avoid Sector X, Z and Fortuna in 64 because they aren't nearly as enticing to me. But you're talking to someone whose favorite levels are Aquas, Macbeth and Solar. I have no account of taste. 🤣
The entire SF Command
That smugger’s outpost in Assault, where you fight Wolf and his crew, the space part outside was fine but GOD the inside of the base was a pain I would like to append my answer, as I have just been reminded of the hellscape that was the Apparoid city
That final Star Wolf fight in SF64 after Area 6. I keep getting straight PERSECUTED by Star Wolf! That said, it was the first time I felt that level of genuine satisfaction beating a video game boss.
Aquas in 64. Slow slow and it kills your finger.
The whole series besides Star Fox 64.

StarFox on the DS. GOD SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!
Meteo and Fichina in 64
I always go hard route then back to easy through Katina in my games.
When i played Star Fox 64, I always got stuck fighting Star Wolf the second time you fought them. They're so difficult, and it made me realize I was NOT good at this game, lol
The last hurrah in SF64, for some reason the whole level gives me a massive headache, don't know why
Test of Fear. Borderline impossible, and if you fail you have to do the dungeon again.
Star Fox Command, the whole game.
Test of Fear from Adventures for sure
SNES Star Fox Route 2, Sector Y. Screw the boss.
Test of Fear in Adventures. Always have and will hate that part
Any time when I'm not on rails and in an Arwing.
For me it was the second time in the ocean force point temple.
Burning skies made me cry
For 64, it's Macbeth. I immediately press reset when I get there.
The Corn Area?
For 64? Sector Z. Hands down.
Test of Fear. Literally had to mute the game. Even when you memorise the entire pattern there is absolutely zero room for a millisecond of imprecision.
The Gyrocopter in Zero.
Me playing mgs1 on bigboss mode during the torture sequence
The "stealth" section of Cloudrunner Sanctuary in Adventures
I‘d go with the cloudrunner ride on dragon rock. The horrible aiming, constant missles and low hp was a real nightmare. I think I gonna start playing that game again soon, I really love it
Star fox 64 Star wolf hard mode. 🥲
Aquas All of Starfox Adventures
God of war Ragnarok with the jotunheim part, it was fun and good story the first time, but after that it becomes a long 1-2 hrs of tedious fetch side quests that you can't skip and can't rush angrboda so yeah the rest of the game is great just that part is so long I get it's for story purposes, but it was so boring...as it was all fetch quests with one boss fight.
Star Fox Zero’s mission on Zoness with the Gyrowing. It can take a while.
FFX nailing the special move
the thalmor embacy makes me feel like committing several war crimes in foreign nations.
The Sector Z medal in 64
