{{quote|''"Here's an example of a typical scene: Trees full of apples. Unassuming, you stride under one, and an apple falls from the tree and crushes you, sending you back to the start of the screen. You approach again, this time cautiously poking your nose out under the tree in an attempt to goad the apple into falling before you pass. ...About halfway across, you notice an apple low enough you can jump over it. ...You jump over the apple, and the apple falls up and kills you. '''The apple falls up and kills you'''."''
If you want a picture of the future,
Video game protagonists often have bad days. It's not uncommon to have to [[Double Jump]] between [[Floating Platforms]] over [[Spikes of Doom|spiked pits]], dash between three sets of [[No OSHA Compliance|synchronized fire vents]], then bounce off a flying enemy to hit an item block, all while dodging those [[Goddamned Bats]] and [[Demonic Spiders]]. It may be [[Nintendo Hard|fiendishly difficult]], but it's still par for the course.
But not like this. ''[[The Matrix

'''As a rule of thumb, a Platform Hell game should meet several of the following criteria:'''
* Difficulty as slapstick comedy: these games try to make their sudden and completely unfair deaths so ridiculous as to be hilarious. The player engages in self-aimed schadenfreude.
* Difficulty as [[Running Gag]]: The difficulty never, ever lets up, and after a while it becomes ludicrous in its persistence.
* Self-awareness: The aforementioned comedy often comes from the game [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|knowing exactly what the player is going to do]], and catching them when they least expect it.
* Difficulty as [[The Parody|parody]]: These games deconstruct well-known videogame challenges, such as [[Mega Man (
* Twisted familiarity: The game levels generally [[Video Game Settings|fit the classic settings of the game they're based on]], and theme their deathtraps and challenges appropriately. This also saves time in level editing. Even original games such as [[I Wanna Be the Guy|IWBTG]] are generally one big [[Nostalgia Level]] [[That One Level|From Hell]].
Line 30:
* Traps at the end of the stage which result in your death unless you've prepared something from the ''beginning'' of the stage, such as the famous "[[Kaizo Trap]]" in Super Mario World romhacks: if you don't turn the coins into blocks, the auto-scroll as part of the victory fanfare will cause Mario to die.
* Traps at the beginning of the stage that will kill you a couple of seconds after entering unless you act immediately.
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]], typically in the form of paths that appear to lead somewhere interesting but instead drop you into an inescapable [[Death Trap]]. (Of course,

They will also usually [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels|go by names]] that outright suggest the cruel difficulty and trickery contained within, usually with names based on [[Harder Than Hard|'hard', 'impossible', 'difficult' and 'unfair']].

As it isn't a ROM hack, the designers were able to add even more preposterous traps and setpieces. It also makes very clever use of the [[Invisible Block]] trick, {{spoiler|most players would be genre savvy enough to check for invisible blocks, sometimes even being able to get an advantage in clearing the pit by standing on the block.

* ''[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mx1fSJrIxFM&feature=PlayList&p=07D13F6ABF7F1853&index=12 Super Kusottare World]'' - That's just a video of the very end of one level, and a hack that's seemingly so badly designed it took said video maker about 5 hours to get past one jump. It's all but unplayable even with save-states. The maker gave the game to someone to review on [[YouTube]]. The reviewer became so incensed at the game that he abandoned the project halfway through and told the maker never to contact him again unless the hack was edited.

With more Kaizo traps in the middle. And tons of ghosts in the Bowser battle. Pretty much defines cruelty.

* [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=G7zs2O_4f7Y Pit of Despair]. That's a Tool Assisted Speedrun of the level which has to utilize pretty much every glitch in the original game. It's also only one of three (Moltov Mario World and Lawler Mario World being the others) that the video creator has made based purely on being the hardest games ever.
** And the sequel, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAzxnJKCEdU&feature=channel_page Pit of Death]. Apparently, it took over 5000 reloads using TAS to beat that level for the creator.

* [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5GKNJQA5cu0&feature=channel_page Springboard and Shells Hack]. Yes, just that name, but freaking hard as hell. That video is a tool assisted speedrun the hack creator made of the last level, which makes you dodge almost endless halls of spikes while bounce on enemies, entering doors in mid air by bouncing off keys and blocks and having between only 50 and THREE seconds to beat each room. Then there's the boss...

* ''Yoshi's Island DS'' has [[Nintendo Hard]] secret levels...with the exception of the last one, Yoshi's Island Easter Eggs. That contains several incredibly frustrating and hard challenges, and doesn't even try to play fair (Ride an Arrow Ball through a room of spikes! Jump on platforms controlled by an enemy! Light switches last for 3 seconds!)
* A hack of Super Mario World, "The Second Reality Project," has various Nintendo Hard levels, especially in the last few worlds. However, the very last level is a very hard level. It goes like this, you go to {{spoiler|Bowser's Airship}} and once you're there, you are forced to shrink into Small Mario and go through about 16 of the hardest rooms (Including spinjumping on top of spike balls, floating with the balloon in a room full of spikes, going through a tower-like room with a bunch of Football Kicking Charging Chucks, swimming in a room full of Torpedo Teds, dodging giant spikes, and more) without getting hit once. The level is very tough and there is no checkpoint. In a newer version of the hack, "The Second Reality Project Reloaded," the level is remodified to where there is a powerup in every room and a checkpoint is offered after going through most of those rooms.

* Possibly the single most ridiculous hack in existence is one called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8_NEUclVBg Glitch Abuse], which is exactly what it sounds like. It requires using nearly every known glitch in the SMW engine for a successful playthrough, most of which require frame-precise timing.

* Along the same lines as Hard Relay Mario is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh2ig6GDatE Falling Mario]. At the end of each world Mario falls off into a pit and utters "Oh god! Wonder how many times I have fallen!" and the ending isn't any more uplifting. Even the music has been changed to a minor key, to make the atmosphere of the hack even more depressing.
* Going forward two platform generations is Kaizo Mario 64. There's an LP of the game [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81B11E2623B59F31&feature=plcp here]. Kaizo Mario 64 is different from the original Kaizo in that all of these levels are very clearly based on original SM64 levels, only made about a billion times more difficult.
* A game based in Syobon Action is [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535225 The Hell Evolution]. It has invisible coin blocks, kaizo traps, and evil blocks that look like the good ones and will disable them, blocking your way and forcing you to suicide.

** This level. The gimmick is that the very second you try to go left or spin jump, Mario dies on the spot.

See it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1dtBJ9J3EA&feature=channel_video_title here]
** The final level has random wind physics. As in, it pushes you left and right every half a second or so at random. The level itself wouldn't be so bad normally, but with random, uncontrollable movement along with trial and error gameplay? Awful.

* "Master Quest", which is a fan-made level of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', which is based on the hardest level in the game, "The Perfect Run", which is a harder version of the already-hard to beat Grandmaster Galaxy.

** Speaking of "The Perfect Run", there's also ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'''s version if it.

* The ''[[Dirty Harry]]'' NES game is somewhere between this and [[Nintendo Hard]]. While a lot of the difficulty is standard, it also sports a number of cruel glitches, as well as things more in this category. Such as the "Ha Ha Ha" room. An area, impossible to tell from the outside, that once entered, requires you to reset the game, and a one-way maze leading back to the start of the game.

** And as a shining example of [[Tropes Are Not Bad]], this is also by far and away the franchise's most well-known module.
** And just to show the difference between this trope and [[Nintendo Hard]], the 3.5E counterpart Red Hand of Doom is an insanely difficult (very generously, one early quest gives access to giant owls that allow it to be beaten by weaker characters) [[Timed Mission]] module which requires players to punch way above their weight class. In a lot of ways, Red Hand of Doom is more difficult since it uses harder (though still weak compared to an optimized party) combat encounters rather than [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]. But aside from that the adventure doesn't pull any unusually cruel tricks. Well, [[Killer Game Master|for the kind of game it is]].
* ''[[The Impossible Quiz]]'' - a non-platformer example, only by virtue of the completely ridiculous and hilarious "solutions" that the game expects of the player.
** A brief sampler of said "solutions:" Finding a completely invisible button to click on a white field, choosing an answer in a multiple choice question where the answers have nothing to do with the question, are not in english, or are blank, and ''right clicking on the window to deactivate the Flash control to keep the program from failing you.''<ref>This was possibly inspired by the quiz level in ''[[Earthworm Jim (
** To be fair, the game at least gives you the ability to skip questions. Except that some of them can't be skipped. {{spoiler|And that skipping any question makes the game unwinnable. And yes, this was [[Unwinnable
* The PC game based on ''The [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' is notorious for being very close to Adventure Game Hell. Many puzzles are ridiculous and insane, and the room descriptions contain outright lies. Not mistakes, '''lies'''. Many other [[Infocom]] [[Interactive Fiction]] games have even harder puzzles, but this is the only one that uses its difficulty in the same ironic manner as other Platform Hell games.
** In addition, it's ''extremely'' easy to make this game [[Unwinnable]]. Didn't pick up {{spoiler|the junk mail}} at the start of the game? Didn't {{spoiler|buy the sandwich}} in the pub? The game won't mind, it won't even hint that those things have any effect when you do them - but if you don't, woe betide you later on. Also, near the end of the game, you will find yourself in need of a certain item. The item is chosen from a list of twelve possibilities, and unless you have all of them, the game will always ask for one you don't have. So, if you're not using a walkthrough, you'll start over and make a point of finding the item you missed, only to get to the end and find that you need a different one. ''Repeatedly''.
Line 131 ⟶ 130:
* ''Wizardry IV: The Return of [[Sdrawkcab Name|Werdna]]'' is RPG Dungeon Crawler Hell. You know how weak the average monster in a [[Random Encounter]] is compared to RPG heroes? Well, in this game, you're on the side of the monsters. Not only that, but the puzzles take [[Guide Dang It]] to an extreme; most players won't even make it out of the first room without outside assistance.
** The same can be said about Samuel Stoddard (of RinkWorks fame)'s dungeon crawler ''[http://www.rinkworks.com/vault/ Murkon's Vengeance]'', which is basically a homage to ''Wizardry IV'' in every way. ''Including'' the difficulty. Watch as your 10-hitpoint-1-damage-dealing character barely scratches the enemies less than half of the time and spends the rest "too scared to act". Thankfully, it gets easier once you find the summoning squares.

** And then you get to drive back. And forth. And back. And forth.

* Non-video game example: ''[[Ninja Warrior]]''. Hopping around obstacles of varying difficulty within a time limit is harder than it looks, especially since only ''three people'' beat the obstacle course. (And none of them have repeated their victories as of yet.)
** To be specific, there has been 25 Ninja Warrior tournaments held, each with 100 contestants. So 3 out of 2,500 people have passed it...a whopping 0.12% success rate.
