[2012 Wont Happen]

I did not care for the underwater section of Manaan on KotOR 1. The map was built about the size of a normal map on that game, but with the slow move speed getting around became a chore.

Spoiler: This One

I'd go into more detail about why this level can fuck off straight to hell, but it would quickly devolve into incoherent swearing.

Oh dear lord no.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I now hate you for reminding me of the nightmare of disarming the bombs with all those crystals nearby.

 

[Shynobee]

Wow, for realz? Just Ocarina of Time alone, I thought the water temple was epic! Now Sonic underwater... no thanks. Hedgehogs and H2O do not mix.

 

[daftalchemist]

I'd say Ecco the Dolphin had the worst underwater level. Oh wait...they were all underwater levels...

 

[NoriYuki Sato]

WATER TEMPLE OF DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think they need to remake LoZ and make the Water Temple..only BURNING and full of DEATH!! and...that's death of the water temple...not..the death of Link...

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

Banjo Kazooie.

Clanker's Cavern can die. The water part was bad, the out of water part was bad, too!

You read my mind. As soon as I saw the question, I immediately thought of Clanker's Cavern.

 

[Adaephon]

Atlantica from Kingdom Hearts 2....not that that really counts but I'm voting other for that anyways.

 

[Denamic]

TMNT, hands down.
I cannot think of any water level that even comes close to the level of shit that level was.

 

[Varewulf]

Alex Kidd. Hated that one.

 

[Someperson307]

The water levels in Super Mario Galaxy were SOOOOO frustrating. It was just really hard to actually move.

Yes, this was very evil.

To throw one of my own in there I'll vote the entire auqaman game. Yeah, there was an aquaman game . . . I know, right?

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Sonic, for this reason:

As soon as you hear it, a frantic panic takes over you and you cant help but scream at the TV "Gimmie some fucking bubbles!" Especially when youre stood on a bubble patch and waiting for one.

I still get nightmares of that...
What? I'm White and nerdy.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Manaananananananaaa...
Ahem. Manaan in Kotor. I really liked the surface for the architecture, but the underwater part (especaially with the walking) was just fucked.
And Oblivion. Right up until I downloaded Alive Waters, and went fishing. I mean genocide. Combined with stumbling upon Fin Gleam, the breathe-under-water helmet about 20 meters deep off the shore of some island close to Anvil. That was fun.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

BIOSHOCK!
Nah, just kidding, although I didn't like the game.
But to be honest I haven't played any games with real underwater levels.

HA! Ninja'd. I would also be kidding. Bioshock is my favorite game of all time.
And I have also never had problems with underwater levels.

 

[twcblaze]

1) The Water Temple is one of my favourite levels in any game.

2) TMNT's damn dam is my second most hated.

3) The absolute worst? Kingdom Hearts. GET THAT GODDAMNED MUSIC OUT OF MY HEAD!

I was about to come in here and say I've never had a problem with any water level... and then JEB here reminded me of kingdom hearts... I actually had to play the game on mute, I am definitely not a fan of the little mermaid.

edit: just to clarify, I have played every single zelda game since... I think it was link's awakening on the snes? can't remember the name of it, I was pretty young.

 

[Rakkana]

Sonic, for this reason:

As soon as you hear it, a frantic panic takes over you and you cant help but scream at the TV "Gimmie some fucking bubbles!" Especially when youre stood on a bubble patch and waiting for one.

This is why those damn sonic water levels scared the hell out of me as a child!

 

[JediMB]

Labyrinth Zone (and Scrap Brain act 3) in Sonic the Hedgehog were pretty horrifying.

TMNT's underwater bomb-defusing mission was a living hell, but fortunately enough I never owned the game myself and didn't spend much time fighting it.

OOT's Water Temple only really had this one key that was really frustrating to find. People exaggerate, I think.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

I'm not surprised that the Legend of Zelda (currently) has the most votes. The one in Majora's Mask was torture.

Actually, it's probably more Ocarina of Time that's getting Zelda most of its votes.

Earthworm Jim. Anyone who has played the first one knows what level I'm talking about. Sooooo much anger.

Yeah, the water level used to be the end of the game for me:

*Crash* Shit...
*Crash* SHIT!
*Shatter* NOOOOOOOOOO!!! T_T

For some reason though something just clicked one day, and I don't have nearly as much trouble with it now as I used to. If I were to pick-up the game right now and play it, I'd probably beat it no problem despite having been years since I played it last.

Oh yeah, then there's those tubes with the invincible cats where you have to jump on the wire above and hold yourself up, or else they'd grab you and punch you about 20 feet back. Those guys got nasty when they started comboing you into each other. x_x
