** Bellbridge from the sequel. Best results come from playing Helen's story first. While the beginning of the stage isn't nearly as dramatic as Twin Seeds, there is just before the third course of the level...{{spoiler|The lights go out...Helen screams...Her red ideya is taken from her, and she falls...only to be saved by Will as the city lights up again, and the two of them fly the last course together as the musical embodiment of The Power Of Love plays.}} But if you play Will's story first, it's less breathtaking and more odd and out of nowhere.
** [[Ni GHTS]] is actually Sega's interpretation of the psyche. Each level representing a corner of the mind. [[Twin Seeds]] (the Growth) is the character realising they no longer need the Renegade Nightmaren Jester to hold their hand and dualize anymore. The "jumping to your doom" part is probably either belief that one ''can'' do it on their own, or just remorseful suicide. It's also here that Claris and Elliot first properly meet each other, despite Visitors (dreaming humans) are supposed to be isolated.

== Osu! Takatae! Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents ==
* Would be a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] were they original tracks: ''Ready Steady Go'' from [[Ouendan]] and ''Without a Fight/Jumping Jack Flash'' from [[Elite Beat Agents]] take the cake for world-shaking drama (when you finally beat them...) but it's hard to beat ''Over the Distance'' and ''You're the Inspiration'' for touching, life-affirming heroics.

** Heck, Mt. Coronet in any of the Gen. IV games is worthy in its own right. Climbing up a snowy mountain with great atmospheric music, taking down Galactic Grunts, and when you get to the top, a double battle fighting alongside your rival.
*** In Platinum, they introduced wild Absol to this area. So while the plot is rushing towards its climax, you can take some time out to grab youself one of the best-looking Gen. 3 Pokemon as well.

** There's also experiment room 16 with the most sighted-turrets of any other, allowing for ridiculous levels of inginuity about how to knock them down.
*** Once, that level was viewed as a [[Scrappy Level]]. But if you figure out the shortcut and the trick to aiming it becomes loads of fun for the trials you can avoid.
* The only thing more fun than blowing up turrets with [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] is drenching them in Repulsion Gel to send them careening around the room. Particularly if it's about a dozen or so at once.
== Prince of Persia ==
* The Tower of Dawn, the final level of ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time'', is everything great about the game in one dizzying climb - fast pacing, fun puzzles, fights that are fun without bogging the game down (thanks to your brand-new [[One

* Trojan Horse (and the cutscene half way through) from [[Saints Row]]. Driving a Carnales truck you stole earlier into one of their factories, and leaping out with about 10 other men to conquer it. Surprise, motherfuckers!
* https://web.archive.org/web/20160111234809/http://deckers.die/. From the intro sequence with Kinzie's avatar reboots, to the Text Adventure and Tank sequences, to the boss battle with Matt Miller, EVERYTHING about this mission is perfect, save that you can't revisit the area afterwards.

** And continuing a proud tradition, ''Serious Sam 3: BFE'' adds The Guardian of Time. Now with crates of infinite rockets!

** {{spoiler|Nanako}}'s dungeon, Heaven. Not only was the design for the area well done, but it's the only dungeon with a theme song that has lyrics.
* [[Digital Devil Saga]] has the Airport, an awesome dungeon with [[Crowning Music of Awesome|an amazing track by Shoji Meguro]] playing and a Labyrinth structure that isn't too confusing, but still fun to explore. Well done Atlus.
* The final sector in ''[[Strange Journey]]'', while it has some annoying points (the dark maze full of one-way doors comes to mind) makes up for it with a whole collection of new gimmicks and setpieces, some seriously nice music, a map that's complex without being [[That One Level|unnavigable]], and tons of plot as you officially decide which of the [[Multiple Endings]] you're going for. It also has some very cool monsters (Tzitzimitl, anyone?) and bosses that, depending on the route, range from "excitingly challenging" to "[[That One Boss|OH GOD PLEASE MAKE THE PAIN STOP]]." In the latter case, you then get to bask in the knowledge that you have successfully [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|beat the snot out of an]] [[Eldritch Abomination]].
Line 207 ⟶ 205:
** The Hilltop center in [[Silent Hill 3]] is when the scare factor really starts getting ramped up, as the mall level was mostly designed to ease players in, featuring Numb Body enemies, and going relatively easy on the disturbing imagery. The Hilltop Center has some truly haunting music, claustrophobia inducing enemies, horrifying imagery, and the [[Nightmare Fuel]] inducing watcher at the end of the level. One of the best moments is when Heather finds the magic words to defeat the monster...in a room absolutely soaked in blood.
** In [[Silent Hill 2]], the Hotel level. Full of great spooky ambiance, and some of the biggest plot revelations in gaming history, this level is as terrifying as it is heartbreaking.
*** The Prison and Catacombs together display the series' ability to drown you in despair and oppression without strictly resorting to overt blood and rust imagery. The two levels, back to back, are a sterling example of mindfuck physics and incessant terror brought on almost entirely by the environment itself.
Line 225 ⟶ 223:
== [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] ==
* Emerald Coast for ''[[
* The Casino/Pinball levels in most ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' games.
** Except in [[
** Though these kinds of levels go from happy to [[Scrappy Level|scrappy]] should you get three Robotniks on one of the slot machines.
*** And the boss of Casino Night Zone of [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2
* Speaking of Sonic Heroes, the last two levels with Team Sonic qualify. In these two levels, you get a sense of what the game could've been if all effort had been focused on Team Sonic, instead of making three other pretty much identical teams. In the first there's speed, killing things, flying...makes you like the [[Teamwork Puzzle Game|concept of the game]] more. The last stage isn't as much of that, sure, but the music is cool and it [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield|looks awesome.]]
* Despite the second part of Chemical Plant in ''[[
* Star Light Zone in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (
** Speed Highway as Sonic in ''[[
*** While Speed Highway does a great job highlighting the "run really fast" aspect of the Sonic concept, Sky Deck really makes you feel as though you're foiling Robotnik's plans as you tear apart the Egg Carrier. Good times.
* Stardust Speedway in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD
** And Collision Chaos. So trippy.
** Any Good Future level. So stunningly beautiful. Especially with the US version music.
* Green Forest in ''[[
** Its Shadow counterpart, White Jungle, is at least as gorgeous and has likely the best music in the entire game. You only get the full experience if playing the GC version though.
** Also from ''Sonic Adventure 2'', Cosmic Wall. This level alone justifies the inclusion of Eggman as a playable character. This level shows how to do low-gravity right. It's not just a few sections that have low gravity. ''It's the whole level''. It's just about impossible to die from a fall here. The difficulty comes from the enemies' sheer numbers, many of which are the game's main [[Demonic Spiders]]...on any other level. Here, there's a lot of room to avoid everything they throw at you. It's ''so much fun'' killing them all and getting utterly insane amounts of points for it. An A-rank on most levels is around 15,000 points, but here, getting '''five times that''' is common, and six not unheard of. And all this right after [[That One Level|Mad Space]]!
Line 244 ⟶ 242:
** Final Rush. Rail grinding at its best in the series, a bajillion alternate routes, some of which are epic shortcuts which give nice bonus points, good usage of the jump dash for platforming with the rails, a lot of speed, and of course, great music.
** {{spoiler|Green Hill Zone}}, the reward for 100% completion.
** Most of the bosses felt like this in Sonic Adventure 2. You were fighting G.U.N. mechs, with the controllors wondering how a hedgehog(or bat)could be so powerful, a giant golem, THE FREAKING KING OF GHOSTS, your final duels with your rivals, and the final boss. Good Lord, the final boss. The only time Omochao has ever given you good information, the Crowning Music of Awesome, and that moment you realize that you can {{spoiler|switch between Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow}} while {{spoiler|fighting the prototype of the ultimate life form, which is what one of your characters is.}}
** City Escape is the first level for Sonic, and it's a good one. It begins with a landboarding section down San Francisco style streets. After that, it's mostly platforming and high speed down hills and a fast pace. At the end of the level, a giant truck chases you. This level is set to return in [[
*** The buzzsaws are just in Act 2, but Act 1 is no lightweight either; here the GUN truck drives around demolishing platforms and trying to ram into Sonic. ''Generations'' also has Rooftop Run Act 2, which is peppered with a few challenging areas; the rest is a high-speed wonderland of rails and lane changes.
* Any level that plays around with the gravity. This includes Sonic 3's "Carnival Night Zone" (Barrel of Doom be damned), Sonic & Knuckles' "Death Egg Zone" (not to be confused with the Sonic 2 level of the same name), Sonic Adventure 2's "Crazy Gadget", and [[Sonic Advance]] 3's [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Cyber Track Zone]].
** Dead Line: [[
* Sonic's Casinopolis level in ''[[
* [[Sonic Adventure 2
* Despite being critically reviled, [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006
** Wave Ocean with its peaceful music and the homage to the whale chase from Sonic Adventure, which takes it one step further with the whale HURLING you with its tail.
** Crisis City with its gorgeous post-apocalyptic [[Scenery Porn]] and the final section where you outrun a tornado that hurls everything including the kitchen sink at you.
*** Crisis City returns with a better gameplay engine and new level design in ''[[
** Flame Core, best described as Red Mountain's distant cousin with KILLER music and insane corkscrews.
** Aquatic Base, a refreshing change of pace in that it's a final level that's actually fairly easy compared to some others, so it manages to provide JUST the right amount of challenge without being too hard or too easy, plus it has the best music in the game.
** The Very Hard DLC for the 360 manages to tone down the cheapness and offer truly difficult stages in interesting permutations (Doing the first part of Sonic's Wave Ocean backwards for starters.)
* Most Daytime levels in ''[[
** '''Spagonia - Rooftop Run, Act 1:''' Running along a rampart with three laser-toting robots keeping pace, just keep hammering down the Ring Boost and fling other bipedal robots at them. Dodging spiked wine kegs, catapulting up and running around Spagonia's giant clock, only to ''grind back down again at speed.''
** '''Holoska - Cool Edge, Act 1:''' Where a good few minutes of the course are devoted to being in a bobsled and mowing down enemies (and hopping to blow up the airbound badniks). Just when you see a lake, a damn {{spoiler|whale}} surfaces so you can slide along its back. Wanna dismount the bobsled? Crash it into a ledge and [[Made of Explodium|it'll explode]], despite being composed of carbon fiber and metal.
** '''Chun-Nan - Dragon Road, Act 1:''' Where everything great about this game comes together in one neat little package. Great music, quick reflexes, a ''beautiful'' background, and a whole bunch of fast-paced fun along the way. You know you're in something awesome the moment you fly into the head of a dragon-statue, only to grind all the way down its back.
** '''[[Eternal Engine|Eggmanland]]''' is made of equal quantities Crowning Level of Awesome and [[Scrappy Level]]. Both versions. No exceptions.
* [[Sonic Advance
** [[Sonic Rush Series
* Ice Cap Zone from ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles
** Hydrocity, also from Sonic 3. It's an underwater ruins level, so if you've played the previous games, you're expecting a hard, long slog, right? You'd be wrong. It's a blitzingly fast wild water ride with Sonic blasing across the surface of the water, bouncing everywhere with the bubble shield, rolling down hills at ludicrous speed, getting caught in currents that fling you miles into the air, and AMAZING music.
* Sweet Mountain in [[
** If you think the jelly bean rockets alone are awesome, just try {{spoiler|turning into Super Sonic}} and ''' ''BLASTING THROUGH ONE OF THEM HEADFIRST!!!'' '''
** If not Sweet Mountain, then the awesome beauty and platforming of Planet Wisp, or even Aquarium Park's underwater vastness, where you can drill to your heart's content, and better still, the music gets muffled underwater, making it surprisingly engaging.
** Starlight Carnival. ''[[Exactly What It Says
** Remember how we were just talking about the "running down the side of a building" mechanic? Well, {{spoiler|Terminal Velocity}} takes it [[Up to Eleven]]. Basically, {{spoiler|Eggman's amusement park is EXPLODING thanks to your heroic efforts}} and Sonic and Tails are making a mad dash {{spoiler|down a [[Space Elevator]] shaft to get back on the planet.}}When Sonic and Tails get to the last available [[Space Elevator]], Eggman tries to intercept our heroes in his new {{spoiler|Egg Nega Wisp Armor}}. Sonic gets a CMoA for himself {{spoiler|by getting Tails into the elevator and sending him to safety}} while he confronts Eggman. Sonic then proceeds to open up a can of [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|whoop-butt]] on Eggman, freeing the Wisps he's using for a power supply in the process. Once they're all free, they {{spoiler|[[All Your Colors Combined|combine their power]] so Sonic can perform the FINAL COLOR BLASTER! On the mech, destroying it.}} The final level features Sonic {{spoiler|trying to outrun a black hole made of hyper go-on energy and getting rescued by the Wisps and reunited with Tails.}}'''HECK YES'''!

* EVERY level in Conviction, with special mention to Third Echelon HQ. Sam returns to his former workplace, blows up the garage, takes out the [[Elite Mooks]] new Splinter Cells and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|scares a receptionist.]] Also has one of the best [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|end]][[Crowning Music of Awesome|ings]] [[Stuff Blowing Up|EVER]], courtesy of [[DJ Shadow]].
* The final level of Double Agent. All throughout the game, you've had to work with terrorists, earning their trust and placing yourself further from your old comrades, resulting in some very dirty work. Depending upon your choices, you may even {{spoiler|have had to kill Lambert.}} Now, you get to take out these bastards once and for all. It's awesome.
== [[
* The first [[
* In [[
* "The Dig". Your team is charged with retrieving a Xel'naga Artifact from a massive temple complex. To cut through the temple doors, you are given [[BFG|a massive, building-mounted]] [[Fricking Laser Beams|Fricking Laser Beam]] -- "''the power of a sun at your fingertips''". When the Tal'darim protoss attack your base, you are given ''direct control'' over this beam with explicit instructions to burn the attackers down as quickly as possible. The boring way to complete the mission: dig in with traditional troops and fire-support from the BFG, while it cuts through the door. The interesting way: build up a balanced force and wipe those smug Tal'darim bastards off the face of the map. The ''awesome'' way: using a cheap spotter, systematically incinerate their bases with your own personal [[Death Ray]]. (Also, this is the mission that unlocks [[Tank Goodness|Siege Tanks]].)
* "Media Blitz". Raynor's Raiders intend to hit up Korhal to force the local media to broadcast some dirt on the Emperor. Their ace in the hole? The Odin, a [[Humongous Mecha|building-sized siege walker]] that the Dominion think is on ''their'' side. After giving them a Barrage-shaped wakeup call, the Odin gets to stomp through their bases for several minutes before they respond; then it retreats home so you can do it ''again'' with backup.
Line 304 ⟶ 302:
== Star Fox ==
* Fortuna in ''[[
** Area 6 as well, gives a whole new meaning to 'target rich enviroment'.
*** Not as rich as Venom I. Gotta love that feel of Andross deploying every ship he has left, trying to keep you away. Crazier still is Venom I on ''Expert'' Mode.
*** But neither of these tops the epic feel of MacBeth - getting the opportunity to take out bits of the train throughout the entire level, and then seeing it careen to its death is just fantastic.
*** The train crash in [[Macbeth]] is THE reason the rumble pack was invented. So awesome. "NO! Hit the brakes!" *slam, slam, slam, slam* "...I can't stop it!!!" *CRASH*. Cue [[Chain
*** How about the massive dog fight on Katina? Followed by an [[Independence Day]] sized UFO. Also; whether you win or lose, you're still treated to an [[Earthshattering Kaboom]].
*** Bolse was pretty awesome, also, although going there means missing out on Area 6 and the better version of Venom. For starters, everything starts out with impenetrable shields, and you have to blast away the shield generators. Then the bogeys start streaming out. Then, the core appears, and right around the same time (unless you beat them on Fortuna earlier in the game), the Star Wolf team appears. Then once you start shooting at the core, ''it starts shooting back''. Dealing with all of those lasers flying around (from the busted panels of the core and from the Star Wolf team), it's quite exhilirating. Finally, once you bust all of the panels of the core, the entire planet-sized satellite blows up. There are a lot of large explosions in this game--the Saucerer on Katina, the Katina base if you ''don't'' take down the Saucerer, the weapons factory on Macbeth, the bosses of Solar and Area 6, Great Fox getting smacked with a Copperhead missile in Sector Z--but none of them are quite as big as the ''entire Bolse satellite''. Almost makes missing the better ending worthwhile.
** Zoness was pretty fun.
* The second course Venom 2 in the original ''[[Star Fox
Line 331 ⟶ 329:
** The best level is obviously the First, where you play as DARTH FREAKING VADER and then proceed to tear the ever-living shit out of everything in your path. The rest of the game almost seems like a bit of a let-down in comparison.
* Korriban in [[Knights of the Old Republic]], especially on a light side runthrough as you play every Sith on the planet like a fiddle.
** For that matter, the Battle of the Star Forge. Its like [[Return of the Jedi]] when you have to storm the Empire's very engine of Mass Destruction/Construction to [[Stuff Blowing Up|blow it up]]. Except you have to kill [[Big Bad|Darth Malak]] first and either kill or redeem [[Dethroning The Ice Queen|Bastila]] first. Along the way though? You fight [[Elite Mook|elite mooks]], [[Mini Boss|several minibosses]], whole armies of Dark Side Acolytes, Adepts, and Sith Masters, whole armies of the best 'normal' troops, a mecha army, and at times ''[[Beyond the Impossible|ALL AT ONCE]]''. If you go Dark Sided, you conquer the entire galaxy at the end (only to lose it in the sequel), if you go Light Side (which can arguably be better than Dark Side), you redeem Bastila, defeat the Sith, and become the Prodigal Knight of the Republic. Either ending is satisfying, and it is really fun to bring Malak down. What is it with [[
** Malachor 5 in ''KOTOR II'' is [[Wham! Episode|pretty damned impressive]], even without a lot of the content.
*** The return to Onderon; the whole damn thing, from the Tomb to the palace Throne Room.
** For that matter, Korriban in [[Dark Forces Saga|Jedi Academy]].

== [[Super Mario Series]] ==
* Level 5-3 of ''[[
** Then there's that level in World 6 with the hundreds of coins frozen in ice blocks. You defrost them with your fireballs.
*** There are also Munchers frozen in some of the ice blocks. Normally a bad thing, but there are a cluster of Munchers over top of a pipe, and recall that hitting a P-Switch turns Munchers temporarily into coins. When you eliminate the Munchers and enter the pipe, there's a Hammer Brother suit inside, and that Hammer Brother suit is one thousand times more satisfying to wear than any other in the game.
Line 367 ⟶ 365:
** Chief Chilly Challenge from the DS remake. It has the slides, the platforming and the whole place is focused around Luigi!
** [[Shifting Sand Land]]. Especially when {{spoiler|[[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|top of the fricking pyramid comes off!]]}}

** Say what you will about [[That One Level|the second mission]], but the ''first'' mission in [[Lethal Lava Land|Melty Monster Galaxy]] is oh-so very deserving of the title "The Magnificent Magma Sea". The level is absolutely ''epic''. We're talking ''cascading walls of lava'', people!

** How's this for a bold choice...{{spoiler|Grandmaster Galaxy}}. Sure, it's extremely challenging (and that's not even mentioning the daredevil run), but not in a way that ever feels unfair. The adrenaline rush that kicks in while you play it is amazing, and if you actually ''beat'' it...your <s> day</s> <s> week</s> ''year'' is made!

** Also, both are immediately after [[Scrappy Level|Scrappy Levels]].

** All of Special World counts. The whole World is a [[Nintendo Hard]] [[ROM Hack]] of itself, forsaking all logic in favor of the [[Rule of Cool]]. As if it could get better than that, after you beat it, the whole Game becomes a [[Halloween Episode]].
** Much of the whole game counts! A level where you ride a skull coaster on lava while dodging a googly-eyed lava monster (who is apparently named "Blaargh")? A level where you literally have to build a staircase out of coins and a P-Switch? Even the Scrappiest of [[Scrappy Level|Scrappy Levels]], known as "Tubular" has you fly through an entire level as a living balloon, which, once you learn how to navigate the darn level, is actually pretty fun.
* ''[[New Super Mario Bros
** While a lot of people say 8-1 is a [[Scrappy Level]] with all of its obstacles, it can be a huge adrenaline rush to charge headlong into the fray without stopping to beat the level and collect all of the Star Coins on the first try. Not only that but the level itself is very reminiscent of the many similar levels found in the Genesis platformer, ''Kid Chameleon,'' complete with [[Advancing Wall of Doom]].
* Tree Zone 2 in ''Super Mario Land 2'', where you swim through gravity-defying jello.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels
* World 2-3 in the original Super Mario Bros. comes right after the first water level, and perhaps the best strategy was to run like hell across the bridges and avoid the Cheep-Cheeps that jumped at you.

And then begins an awesome [[Best Boss Ever|boss battle]].
