* Remix II, Stage 1 in ''VideoGame/NESRemix''. The first section is a simple "Enter the cave" scenario from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'', and is easy to get past even with the blue Lynels and the constant screen blurring and unblurring. After you enter the cave, the second section [[UnexpectedGameplayChange unexpectedly changes]] to ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'', except instead of playing as Mario, you're still playing as Link, who can't jump or use his sword (or the two Hammers in the level). The barrels fall in such erratic patterns that it becomes a LuckBasedMission to get to the top.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPC'', with over 200 levels, tends to have these:
** "Hopping Mad!", a stage which contains several witches (enemies who can TeleportSpam) and two Frankenstein's monsters, who needs two torches to kill and ''can'' recharge their lives by touching their spawner. Said level also drops giant frogs into the arena at random patterns, with the dropping frequency making them difficult to dodge.
** Literally any levels containing three or more {{mummy}} enemies - they are BossInMookClothing monsters who requires two zaps from a magic scepter to kill, where the first hit turns them into a fast-moving skeleton that chases you down. Add the fact that each weapon is good for single-use, you'll need to run like crazy to obtain another scepter while fleeing.
** "Attack of the B-Movies" combines BlackoutBasement with DeliberatelyMonochrome. Your vision is limited, there are five different monster types onscreen (at least one which is a vampire, EliteMooks who can FlashStep from your stake) and the monochrome filter makes locating a monster's regenerator ''before'' it recreates them a challenge.

** From the American and Brazilian version, the hot dog/soda challenge. The houseguests were split into two teams and had to climb onto the punching bag shaped like a hot dog or bottle of soda and then ride it to the other side while the teams had to operate a pulley to get it from one side to the next. The challenge encouraged teamwork, but at the same time was slanted towards taller people because shorter people would slip and fall right on off of the punching bag.
** One task in the British series involved the house having to sort various flavours of crisps. They knew which one(s) were which by ''licking'' them. By the end, everyone's tongues were sore from all the salt and some people lost their senses of taste for awhile.

** Cellar-themed levels, as they appear in Chapter 1 and are ''overrun'' with spider-themed enemies which are all either DemonicSpiders, GoddamnedBats, {{Asteroids Monster}}s, {{Action Bomb}}s, or ''any possible combination of those''. While these enemies appear throughout the game, the early game is when they are very difficult to fight off as you don't have the health and attack power to deal with their bullshit as they swarm you and drain your health. It's actually common practice for players to reset their run until they roll Basement or Burning Basement instead, ''especially'' during Greed Mode.
** Sheol. A very dark level overrun with every variety of DemonicSpiders and GoddamnedBats, a lot of whom are dark-colored and easily blend into the environment long enough to score a cheap hit. It also happens to be a very large level, has tons of minibosses including [[ThatOneBoss The Adversary]] and his [[ThatOneAttack near-unavoidable blood laser]] and pitch-black-room dash attacks, and has a fierce three-part MarathonBoss at the end. It's actually considered to be considerably harder than Dark Room that comes after, as at least Dark Room provides tons of new powerups and has the much easier boss [[BreatherBoss The Lamb]] at the end.

It barely connects to the main storyline, almost all the witnesses are unhelpful as well as downright rude to Phoenix, and a couple of the testimonies are tough to cross-examine; one witness is extremely chatty, causing Phoenix to be penalized if the witness goes into a random tangent (purely because the witness annoys the Judge), and this witness' last testimony will penalize you with an instant game over if you merely '''press''' the witness on the wrong statement, because the Judge is sick and tired of said witness. The fact that this case features one of the more convoluted murder methods and doesn't even have a satisfying breakdown animation for the culprit is just icing on the cake.
