Worst Levels Ever # 37

Unfortunately, although there are lots of fantastic levels and stages in video games, there are also a fair few awful ones.
Star Wars has had many ups and downs during its long and lustrous, opinion may be heavily divided on what these are exactly.
But for me, the single worst thing to ever come out of this franchise isn't from the movies, but from a level in one of the SNES games...

""this sounds like disney music" Palpatine: ironic.

I’m quite impressed by this game’s soundtrack. It’s actually pretty good. The escape sequence, on the other seems pretty obnoxious and unenjoyable to play, it seems pretty tough to tell what’s coming towards you sometimes.

[@dardanik]

Even the sound effects are spot-on.

[@theceoofeggmansempire5214]

That final level & Vader's final bossfight in SSW: ESB are the hardest sh*t in this trilogy.

I will NEVER forget this level for the same reason. Rented the game when I was a kid, and managed to beat everything - EXCEPT THAT LAST DAMN LEVEL. I just ended up giving up in frustration and returning the cartridge. Thank you for accomplishing what I never could and showing me how it ended. Considering how nice the rest of the game looks, why they chose to end it with this poorly controlled, ugly designed mess, I'll never understand.

[@Mordaedil]

Even at the time there were comics with Palpatine being resurrected, like in the Dark Empire trilogy. Honestly, it's sad how much they took from those comics for the final movie.

[@judasbooth5455]

The problem is that Dark Empire is badly drawned and colored garbage

[@zeldasmetaknight]

My dad and uncle were star wars fans, they showed me star wars through the movies as well as Shadows of the Empire and Rouge Squadron. I know Empire Palpatine was designed to be creepy, but that game over is just creepy.

Heh, it was my father and uncle that got me into it too!

[@crazycactuar1465]

Shame there's no undead Han Solo in this game!

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Sadly that wouldn't help in the hardest parts, since when fighting Vader and the Emperor you're stuck with just Luke and the escape is done by Lando. Undead Lando/Millenium Falcon would be useful, but Han/Chewie/Leia's last level doesn't even have a boss.

Is it just me, or is the Death Star exploding in this game more satisfying then it was in the movie?

This game doesn't seem too bad as a whole. Nice graphics and sound design, and Luke's moveset looks neat. It seems like a lot of fun! I hate it when good games screw up the final act, it just hurts how satisfied you are about a game after beating it.

Ah, return of the Jedi. Now this is a journey to my childhood. And I know first hand how much of a life sponge that last bit is.

[@GamerponGill]

I've always wondered how the Star Wars Battle Pod game would look if you deep fried it.

That ending sequence would be infinitely easier if the game let you shoot, because then you'd have some idea of where you were in relation to the walls. But nope, you can't.

That final stage was a nightmare, I don't know how I managed to keep my sanity intact back in 1999 when I played it for the 1st time, my bros. gave up at this finish line while I kept trying until I managed to win, despite this stage being kinda annoying, I find myself revisitng this game from time to time and doing 1 credit runs of the game on Jedi mode (and that says a lot of this game as being the easiest of the 3 SNES games, the other two I have a very hard time even on Easy).

It seems awfully long for such a complex thing.

[@Sonikku2008]

I'mma be real, I'm in full agreement with you on this one. It took me years to beat the final level of Return of the Jedi; I'd beaten Empire Strikes Back multiple times over before I could beat that one because of the escape sequence. There's some bullcrap in Empire Strikes Back that irritates me, but I could still pass those on a good day.

[@frenchyproductions9692]

There is something to be said about the unique way the developers used Mode 7 here. I think it could almost be tolerable if it wasn't used for a time sensitive mission at the end of the bloody game.

[@acedelta12]

Chewbacca! Use Darkest Lariat!

[@MarioGamer052]

I honestly like how the mode7 is used in that stage, it's very impressive for an SNES game, I really like it. I don't know when Star Fox released, maybe the SuperFX chip wasn't invented yet. However, I think the main problem of this level is that is hard to tell where you are, it would be more manageable if it was in third person or have a rectangle representing the falcon hitboxes. Also, some of the backgrounds don't appear quick enough to react when you boost. Lastly, it's at the end of the game, which makes doing a game-over-less run very frustrating. Very cool concept for a level, but executed very badly.

[@5witchy676]

It released a whole year after Starfox.

[@Awoken_YKW_Fan9001]

Press 9 on a keyboard for whoisthisgit's face reveal and Palpatine's laugh.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

'Who made this freaking Death Star tunnel? It's been Palpatine all along!' I've actually completed the entire trilogy and there are a few levels that don't implement their gimmicks well resulting in frustration. Ironically the Falcon section in Super Empire Strikes Back is comparatively easy. It's also funny how SESB reduces IG-88 to a recurring minor enemy instead of a boss like Boba Fett (and his ship!).

[@rodrigobravo2047]

If you ever do an episode on Star Wars Episode I: Racer, Grabvine Gateway and Abyss must appear there. The former is a huge difficulty spike from all previous tracks so far and has that swamp section that can really catch you off-guard, so you must go very slowly in order not to crash; while in the latter, if you get knocked off from the upper section at the beginning of the track, you have to take a longer path that will make you lose the race very easily.

[@gcapeletti]

I played this a lot. The last level is absolute shit. But I think the most annoying thing is on the first game of the trilogy. When I played on hard, if I lost a life before beating the boss on the hangar (the giant robot), it meant I couldn't upgrade the blaster to plasma again, and I just couldn't beat it. So I would reset the game every time I lost a life. It was painful.
