Water is arguably the most maligned type of level in gaming and for good reasons, but every once in a while a game will have a water level that's extremely well-executed.
Some of my picks: Stage 5 (Demon's Crest) Dire, Dire Docks (Super Mario 64) Great Bay Temple (Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask) Amiss Abyss (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze) Lake Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey) Dire, Dire Docks probably wouldn't make the list if I'd just recently played SM64, but it has a lot of sentimental value for me; possibly my all-time most nostalgic video game level. I'm not even gonna attempt to justify my enjoyment of the Great Bay Temple because I know how much the majority of people who've played MM despise that dungeon. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Great Bay Temple from MM
and Lakebed Temple from TP both come to mind They have pretty cool puzzles and interesting/challenging setups, but weren't a bore/annoyance like the water temple --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

I think it's telling that pretty much every game for the past 50 years has had a water level, and people are struggling to come up with more than 5.

Gafemage posted...Dire, Dire Docks (Super Mario 64) Honestly, the only real reason I like Dire, Dire Docks so much is because the top floors in SM64 were easily my favorite section of the game, and getting that first star in Dire, Dire Docks meant you were just about to reach that point. I also have super fond memories of getting both the metal & invisible power-ups at the same time (IIRC that was the only place in the game where you could do that) and getting sucked into that black void only to end up outside the castle instead of dying. Oh yeah, there's also the fact that it has the full version of the best song in the game. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gafemage posted... Demon's Crest is actually the third game in a trilogy; it goes: Gargoyle's Quest (Game Boy) > Gargoyle's Quest II (NES) > Demon's Crest (SNES) Just like DC, the previous two games have really good graphics for their hardware. I'd say the NES one is the weakest of the three because Firebrand's jumps are really slow, the game has a really lofty difficulty curve, and it lacks the atmosphere of the first & third games. Gargoyle's Quest 1 is actually pretty good despite being an early GB game. Its difficulty is still a little uneven (the early levels are actually the hardest point in the game) and there's a couple things like random enemy encounters on the world map + levitation being temporary that make it a little tedious at times, but it has a nice gloomy atmosphere to it and the level design is really ambitious for its hardware. I recommend it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
