History YMMV / BlastCorps

*** It completely broke Vincent "Vinny Jabroni" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYHtDtjFTf0 during his play-through of it on his Vinesauce channel. He went into a meltdown during his stream.]] Bearing in mind, Vinny was a complete professional during this, and was even willing to give the [[TheScrappy godawful-to-control Blacklash]] the benefit of the doubt that it was all his, the player's fault. But this ''evil'' level nearly made him RageQuit.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The side level Orion Plaza. The stage is some sort of giant billiards table in space, with TNT crates in place of the 15 object balls, the Ramdozer in place of the cue ball, and a cue stick in each pocket that needs to be destroyed with said TNT. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext; even the moon and planet stages at least get [[ExcusePlot SOME sort of significance]].

* StopHelpingMe: Your team will always chime in to comment on how well you are doing or how you need to hurry when the truck is close to crashing into something. There's no option to shut them up.

* GameBreaker: With the Z-Button Glitch, you can become the ultimate supervillain, and destroy ANY building the game by '''simply getting out of your vehicle.'''

*** With or without the Z-button glitch, Oyster Harbor is filled with Guide Dang Its. Metal blocks that all blow up together, but only if you drop TNT in them middle between two blocks (otherwise just one block blows up and there's not enough time to do that for each block). Little grooves that need to be filled in with blocks, and then (if not using the Z-glitch), the longest TNT run in the game by far. To add insult to injury, the boats near the end give you a signal when they're lined up so that the carrier can get through, but the signal sometimes thinks the boat's placed okay when it's not, which means you might be on the way to deliver that last piece of TNT, and all of a sudden BOOM!, as it crashes into a "well-placed" boat.

** Diamond Sands. It requires the Backlash and you have to get rid of buildings [[PrecisionFStrike ON FUCKING TRAIN TRACKS.]] That wouldn't be a problem, except that ''you're not allowed to drive over the tracks'' - you have to use out-of-the-way tunnels to switch sides. Combine that with the already-frustrating spinning attack that you need to use for any sort of power with the asshole truck and the fact the buildings seem to be placed specifically to slow you down and you have this level. At least the last few buildings are surrounded by bomb crates.

** J-Bomb Circle. J-Bomb's chief attack involves touching the ground. J-Bomb Circle is a set of mini-levels that asks what if you CAN'T touch the ground? N64 controllers will be broken. And just as a nice "fuck you" from the developers, the last level is the aformentioned CameraScrew Baboon Catacombs. That is your reward.
** Jade Plateau is a race level. Getting Bronze isn't too bad. Silver's ok. Hey, even the Gold time is fairly easy. The Platinum time? You need to take a shortcut through the grass for every lap. Problem is, sometimes this grass slows you down a little, and sometimes it slows you down a lot. It all depending on ''exactly'' how you maneuver into the shortcut. There's no trick, you just have to hope you take the pixel-perfect trajectory the game is looking for every lap ''and'' nail the rest of the race to have any hope of matching the Platinum time.
* UncannyValley: The bulldozer-ish trucks that serve as the Ghosts in Gibbon's Gate and Baboon Catacomb (both Pac-Man esque levels) just look bizarre, as if they've been stretched up or something. They also turn up on Mars, so that might be an explanation.

** CreatorsPet: The Backlash is one of the most common vehicles in the game, and a goodly chunk of the solo-vehicle levels are devoted to it. As are a lot of random bonus levels, including the solar system tour. Get used to seeing it, as much as you won't want to.

* GoddamnedBats: There a lots of obstacles such a blocks, indestructible walls, and moments when the carrier gets in your way, and knock some of the vehicles around.

* ScrappyLevel: Oyster Harbor.

** '''''DIAMOND SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS!''''' * shakes fist*

* ScrappyMechanic: Using the dump truck, Backlash. Though they do make up for it, more or less, with the moon.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Practically the whole soundtrack, although [[http://www.graemenorgate.com/main_files/music/bc/Graeme_Norgate_Simian_Acres.MP3 Simian Acres]] takes the gold. Composer Graeme Norgate has the entire soundtrack available for download for free on [[http://www.graemenorgate.com/ his website.]]

* ExcusePlot: If the truck hits anything, the warheads will go off, so it's been set to go to its destination straight through anything in its path. What?
** After that, the government hires you to destroy their space stations on the moon, for fear of... space pollution or something. [[LampshadeHanging Even the game says your team is playing along with this "ridiculous plot".]]
