  Before the countdown even began I was having flashbacks when I saw Snow Barrel Blast

  One thing I want to add about Snow Barrel Blast: In DKC you cannot leave a world until you find Funky, and you cannot save in that world until you find Candy. Snow Barrel Blast is the first of FIVE difficult levels you have to beat in that world before you can save, and if you run out of lives, it&apos;s game over! No wonder we became masters at it, we had to play it a thousand times.<br>And I have to say, Animal Antics is difficult, but it might be my favorite stage in any DKC game... I don&apos;t even think it is the hardest stage, maybe I just got used to the parrot.

  All of the Donkey Kong Country games had some tough levels. &nbsp;That combined with the graphics did make it a great game.

  It can&apos;t be overstated just how fantastic the names for the levels were in the DKC games. Trick Track Treck, Barrel Canon Canyon. Great stuff.

  The trick to snow barrel blast and any barrel level is to not hesitate. The longer you wait, the harder it is to do. If you do it first flip of the barrel you will breeze through. It taught me to have the balls to go for it. And I say this as someone who hasn&apos;t played it in over 20 years before the new Nintendo switch emulators. &nbsp;But I remember it fondly.

  The &quot;how did I beat this as a kid&quot; statement is one of the most interesting phenomenons in gaming. I feel safe in saying I am much better at games now that I was as a kid, but there are times when I revisit a game I beat as a kid and all I can think is how on Earth did I do that?<br>I think it&apos;s a combination of practice and having nothing else to play. I would only get a handful of games a year, and if I was stuck with a hard one it was either play it or play nothing. I would record game footage through my VCR, so I have evidence that I finished the aforementioned Spiderman/X men game but if you put it in front of me now 28 years later I wouldn&apos;t have a clue how to do it. I can still finish Super Castlevania, but I certainly don&apos;t have the patience to do a no damage run of the entire last level.

  I personally found the minecart levels harder on Donkey Kong Country but the snow effect in that level is the first time I was ever like &quot;wowed&quot; by a video game. I was obsessed with that game as a kid.

  My strategy for getting around the Tubular level of SMW was to go back to the Star World and rescue a blue Yoshi so I could just fly with relative ease above the fray. I&apos;m honestly not sure I&apos;ve ever beaten the level the way it was intended to be beaten

  I’ll never forget 100% super Mario world for the first time. Getting home from school and beating tubular was a feeling unlike any other.

  The final stage of Super Castlevania 4 with the ascending spike floor is insanely nerve wracking
