* ''Super Soccer'' on the SNES has a tournament mode in which the player is put up against all of the other teams in the game, one by one until the player has defeated them all. So what happens when all of the teams are defeated? The player wins and the game is over, right? Wrong. The player is put up against one final team that doesn't even exist on the select screen. A team that is so hard, it makes the rest of the game look like a joke in comparison. A team that clearly only exists because some sick game designer wanted to laugh at your sad attempt at beating it. To actually win against this team is next to impossible. What team is this? Why of course, it's team {{spoiler|[[Nintendo Hard|NINTENDO]]}}!
* ''[[Punch -Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!]]'' is notorious for its difficulty. The final three or four boxers on the World Circuit are absolute monsters, to say nothing of Mike himself. It gets really upsetting to work your way through the World, finally beating Super Macho Man for the title and earning your shot at Mike Tyson...[[One Hit KO|only for him to knock you down in one hit.]]
** It's similar to Castlevania 2, actually, where most of the challenge is simply finding out what you need to do (King Hippo is the perfect example). Sandman is actually the second hardest opponent; once you beat him, you shouldn't have too much trouble with SMM (and you get a code after beating him). I do agree that Tyson is a beast (as he should be); even at my best, defeating him was at most a 50-50 proposition. He actually gets more aggravating after his one hit knockdown phase, believe it or not.
** The [[Video Game Remake|remake]] for the Wii isn't too bad...until you beat everyone and win the World Title, which unlocks the absolutely ''merciless'' Title Defense Mode. You have to fight every boxer you've beaten before, except they've all learned new tricks that are guaranteed to cause headaches for players. To put this in perspective, Title Defense Glass Joe, the [[Warmup Boss|very first boxer in the game]] sporting a [[Jobber|1-100 career record]], is [[Took a Level In Badass|almost as hard as Mr. Sandman]], the undefeated champion who you just beat. And he's the first, and undoubtedly the weakest, guy you'll fight in Title Defense.
