That One Level/Quotes

"Oh, the blood trail maze...sure, I could go on and on about how awful it is and how unfun it is, but isn't that just beating a dead horse? The question we all should be asking is: 'Who thought this was a good idea?' And more importantly, how did this get past testing? How did anyone look at this and say, 'Yes! A semi-blind jumping puzzle that requires precision jumping in a third-person shooter. That's what's going to win us awards.' I guess it'd be the same people who thought that they could hold a company down for 10 years based on two game franchises, one of which has become the punchline to a joke everyone is sick of. So great job 3D Realms. Great job."

- Proteus4994, on the blood trail maze in Max Payne.

"So there you go, Metropolis Zone. It's fucking hard, and annoying, and I HATE IT - but at the same time, it's a good level."

- Cybershell, on a level hated and respected in equal measure.

"These levels [World 9] can range from mildly annoying to downright frustrating, especially when trying to collect the level's Star Coins. 9-7,9-7,9-7! I'll leave it at that."

- Somecallmejohnny,on a certain level.

"''It's beginning to look just like an ice world,

Oh boy, here we go

It's a platformer's greatest foe,

Moving around is slow,

Because of all the irritating snow!

Yes, it's clear that we're in the token Ice World,

Warm yourself with rage!

For instead of you fighting through,

Your controls are fighting you!

Through the whole--darn--stage!

You've been through meadows and desert and water and forest and sky, all since level 1.

Now is the time for your talents to shine

As you brave the tundra a ton.

And slip and slip and slip and slip and fall onto your bum!

Oh, we're struggling through the cliche ice world,

Death-defying jumps!

Falling icicles hit the floor as you beg and plead "NO MORE!"

In this frozen dump!''"

- Brawl in the Family, "Ice World"

"AAHH! FUCKING MARBLE GARDEN!"

- Classic Sonic, after getting hit by a spiked ball in Amy's mission in Gentendo Poop #22
