*** Both of ''Shopping Wars''[='=]s objectives are by far considered by many to be the hardest, largely due to a plethora of {{Game Breaking Bug}}s: For the main objective, escaping Planet Bloxmart is much harder than it seems, because it starts with a Flash Sale that lasts the entire round, meaning that players will and can engage in PVP to sabotage others, but aside from that, there are multiple stage hazards that are capable to insta-killing you, making escaping from Planet Bloxburg harder. Hope you like hearing "IMMA CHARGING MY LAZER" a lot. The ‘’other’’ objective, required to get Sabrina's Cyber Shredder, is much harder. First, you have to flood the Bloxmart map in a ''very specific'' order. Next, you have to do the same to the Candy Kingdom map. Then, you have to use the Key Sword on a door to access the boss fight. On top of that, if you die at any point or leave the server, you have to ''start completely over from the beginning''. Considering the PVP-oriented nature of the game, combined with all the bugs, getting this badge is a ''lot'' more tedious than it sounds. Oh, and the Private Servers cost Robux (thankfully at a cheap price of 15 Robux). Not being helped at all was that the bugfixes were only announced ''after'' the 10k Golden Guitar Bits were given out, much like the final battle of RB Battles Season 3, sparking concerns about RB Battles' quality control. The only saving grace is that the main boss, Bob is rather [[AntiClimaxBoss pathetically easy to defeat in comparison]].
*** ‘’Tower of Hell'' requires you to finish the RB Battles Tower by collecting three halos and then going on top of the tower. Putting aside the fact that players can use power-ups to both the others' advantage and [[{{Griefer}} disadvantage]], some parts of the obby can be really hard to complete, and if you die at anytime, you ''have to start all over again''.

*** ''Wacky Wizards'' has an obby in which players compete with each other, and can boost their performance with potions. The catch? The effects stick until you win. This means that after drinking enough potions, the obby becomes a massive cakewalk.

* DisappointingLastLevel: Season 2’s final battle has been ''extremely negatively received''. In spite of being delayed, many have agreed that it was not worth the wait, largely due to it being [[ItsHardSoItSucks extremely hard]] and [[ObviousBeta buggy as]] ''[[ObviousBeta Mountaineers]]'' and general lack of playtesting. The negative reception to the final battle was so bad that ''they harassed the developers over the RB Battles Discord'' thanks to a question in the quiz section[[note]]"Did the devs do a good job?" The answer, "No", is not the correct answer.[[/note]] which led to players accusing the developers of [[CantTakeCriticism not being able to take criticism]], and it even reached to the point where ''some even refused to do the final battle because of how buggy it was''. The only positive thing most of these players said was that [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the end credits song, "The Friends We Made", sounded great]], but when that stood out as the only good quality, it says a lot about how bugged it was.

* ThatOneLevel:
** Season 2 had its fair share of annoying badges to obtain:
*** ''VideoGame/{{Robeats}}!'''s objective, especially if they're not a fan of rhythm games, especially ''Robeats!''. For starters, you have to get a C-rank for "Monday Night Monsters", "Smile [RB Battles]", and "Power Up". Problem is, while the former 2 songs can be completed without difficulty (as Monday Night Monsters is the first song Robeats players will unlock and Smile [RB Battles] is rather easy to C-rank), Power Up is a Level ''14'' ranked difficulty, meaning that inexperienced players will try to attempt to C-rank a song and fail often. The complaints generated towards the unexpected curve in difficulty from inexperienced rhythm game players led to spotco, the game's creator, to [[https://twitter.com/spotco/status/1331710523289776138?s=19 recommend the Goonie gear set to them]], and later downright [[https://twitter.com/spotco/status/1331797647754203136?s=19 nerf the challenge via making that they can complete the challenges by simply scoring the required points]] to make it easier for casual players to complete the challenges.
*** ''Build Battle!'''s objective. At least the above ''Robeats!'' RB Battles event at least required skill to complete. ''Build Battle!'', on the other hand, is notorious for having an incredibly flawed objective. For starters, unlike other topics, you have to win 2nd place or above on a RB Battles topic. You heard right, ''2nd place or higher'' or the [[AllOrNothing badge will be void]]. What really places it here, is that regardless of how well the built art looks, envious players who have less skill in ''Build Battle!'' [[TallPoppySyndrome will try to deliberately sabotage your work by simply disliking it until their work gets 2nd place or above]], meaning that it becomes less of a game of visual impression and more of a game of trying to cooperate with other players or use a good amount of alts. Because of this, it's not common for better-received artwork to lose to a ''single pixel''. Oh, and you can't cheese it by buying private servers and getting others to collaborate with you- for the event, private servers, which were originally free now costed ''1000 Robux'', causing the developer to be hit with accusations of greed and BribingYourWayToVictory from players (especially since the other colors are locked behind the currency and the only way to get them is to either place high or buy them, which makes it even worse for new players). The only silver lining from this is that [[https://twitter.com/frriendRoblox/status/1335001003955875840 frriendRoblox has at least noticed this issue and will implement an update that reduces a player's vote weight if they aren't voting seriously]], and that the Private Server price was reduced to a more tolerable 500 Robux for the event.
** And Season 3 was no better, with its fair share of annoying events:
*** The season began with a really hard Badge from ''VideoGame/{{Piggy}}''. While one of their badges required you to complete the RB Battles map which is rather easy, the hard part comes from getting the ''other'' badge. Simply put, you have to go into the final chapter of Book 1 of Piggy, and then use the dynamite ''not'' on the floor, but rather where an inconspicuous part of where you're supposed to blow it up, avoiding a JumpScare from a Sentinel in the process. Then you have to crack a code from a safe, whose hints are incredibly well-hidden unless you look up a walkthrough. Then you have to use a crowbar to mine some green crystals for some reason, and ''then'' you have to hope that no one used too many bullets, or otherwise [[UnwinnableByDesign you'll be locked out of the final part]], as you have to shoot the now-glowing green pillars in the middle floor. Fortunately, the final part isn't as difficult compared to the rest, but it's such an exercise in irritation that going on to a Private Server may not help for this one.
*** ''Funky Friday''[='=]s objective is also irritating. After going through an obby, you have to defeat [=DJMonopoli, RussoTalks, and SabrinaBrite=] in a WolfpackBoss fight with a 2022 version of "The Friends We Made". Oh, and it's the ''hard'' version, not the normal version, and while ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'''s mainstream popularity may helped introduce players to the RhythmGame genre, it can still throw off some players not used to it. The only saving grace is that you don't have to redo the obby to participate in the boss fight, and you only need to score 40,000 points. The objectives were later nerfed to simply participating in the song, making this a non-issue.
*** Both of ''Shopping Wars''[='=]s objectives are by far considered by many to be the hardest, largely due to a plethora of {{Game Breaking Bug}}s: For the main objective, escaping Planet Bloxmart is much harder than it seems, because it starts with a Flash Sale that lasts the entire round, meaning that players will and can engage in PVP to sabotage others, but aside from that, there are multiple stage hazards that are capable to insta-killing you, making escaping from Planet Bloxburg harder. Hope you like hearing "IMMA CHARGING MY LAZER" a lot. The ‘’other’’ objective, required to get Sabrina's Cyber Shredder, is much harder. First, you have to flood the Bloxmart map in a ''very specific'' order. Next, you have to do the same to the Candy Kingdom map. Then, you have to use the Key Sword on a door to access the boss fight. On top of that, if you die at any point or leave the server, you have to ''start completely over from the beginning''. Considering the PVP-oriented nature of the game, combined with all the bugs, getting this badge is a ''lot'' more tedious than it sounds. Oh, and the Private Servers cost Robux (thankfully at a cheap price of 15 Robux). Not being helped at all was that the bugfixes were only announced ''after'' the 10k Golden Guitar Bits were given out, much like the final battle of RB Battles Season 3, sparking concerns about RB Battles' quality control. The only saving grace is that the main boss, Bob is rather [[AntiClimaxBoss pathetically easy to defeat in comparison]].
*** ‘’Tower of Hell'' requires you to finish the RB Battles Tower by collecting three halos and then going on top of the tower. Putting aside the fact that players can use power-ups to both the others' advantage and [[{{Griefer}} disadvantage]], some parts of the obby can be really hard to complete, and if you die at anytime, you ''have to start all over again''.
*** Both of ''Arsenal''[='=]s objectives are a major pain as well: The main objective requires you to beat the Shooting Challenge in less than ''50 seconds''. The average time of completion is far above that time, to the point where it was nerfed to simply beating the objective in 90 seconds, but if you have to play on mobile, this still may not be enough to complete it on time. For the other objective, which is required to get the Green Bits in ''Build a Boat for Treasure'' alongside the aforementioned ''Piggy'' example, you have to dress up as the Delinquent skin, then strike 6-well hidden cubes around the map, some which even requires you to literally go outside the map box. Oh, and one person can only achieve it per match. Doing this on a Private Server is a must, though keep in mind it costs about 100 Robux.
** For a non-user created game example, getting the Doe. Even if you somehow knew [[GuideDangIt how to equip the boots and pet to get a jump boost]], the pet ''barely'' has enough jump boost to get past the platforms, which require ''very fast and precise timing''.
* ThatOneBoss: In the final battle of Season 3, [[spoiler: iBella is extremely nasty for being the ''first'' boss in a BossBonanza. You have to play on a modified version of the Lava Escape minigame, which is ''extremely hectic'', and chances are, if you don't memorize the course in time, she will likely curb-stomp you every single time, which is hard considering the pace she goes and the fact that she has a lot of moves to your advantage while your gadgets are disabled. It's possible to perform a skip on this step, but doing so is difficult. DJ Monopoli and [=SabrinaBrite=] were not kidding when they said that the games were rigged against them.]]

-> '''Bella:''' What are you guys laughing at?
-> '''Kreek:''' Don't worry about it, it's a guy problem.
* MemeticMutation: The series has a lot of quotable moments that have been turned into memes.
** Judges?! [[note]] Russo’s Catchphrase, which has been memed to hell and back. [[/note]]
** Anything can happen on RB Battles! [[note]] Another catchphrase, used whenever something strange happens in the series.) [[/note]]
** #LEGCHANGE [[note]] A moment in the Denis VS Keyin match from Season 2, wherein Denis changed his avatar’s legs into something more suited to the competition.) [[/note]]
** I AM RB BATTLES! [[note]] From Season 2’s Battle Back, where LetsPlay/{{Flamingo}} invaded the studio, kidnapped the hosts, and proclaimed this into the camera, complete with heavy breathing. It’s become an infamous scene ever since.) [[/note]]
** [=PingLeaf=] [[note]] [=PinkLeaf=] makes a lot of complaints about his internet ping in the Season 3 finals (owing to being in the Philippines, when most of the other creators in the finals were in the USA), leading to many people nicknaming him this.) [[/note]]
** Balls [[note]]There's a lot of balls jokes in this series, from one off videos to a whole lot of them in the final battle. See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB3JmC28cY8 here.]]
* HoYay: And ''a lot of it''. Let’s just say there’s a lot of [[HomoeroticSubtext ship-worthy moments]] in this series. [[https://youtu.be/Iv_fLeJVfa4 Here's a few examples, just from early Season 3!]]. As a result, there has been a large section of the fandom who delights in shipping the different competitors and sometimes the hosts together. (Much to other parts of the fandom’s dismay.) Of notable mention:
** [=KreekCraft=] X [=TanqR=], a favoured example of FoeYayShipping. It’s easily one of the most popular ships in the fandom.
** DJ X Russo is another common ship.
** [=DenisDaily=] X Calixo, owing to their HeterosexualLifePartners moment at the end of their battle in Season 3.
** [=DenisDaily=] X Sketch is another common one, and the creators themselves have made fun of this.
* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The 3D renders of the competitor’s avatars used for promotional material ended up going awry with iBella’s avatar due to her use of Rthro, leading to…a very unsettling image. [[https://twitter.com/RobloxBattles/status/1595733969680551944 Take a look at the reactions to this tweet.]]

[[folder: YMMV entries pertaining to the game, challenges found in the event, and the story:]]
* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: For all of the trouble you went against JP, he turns out to be a complete pushover once you get to the Robot. While he does have a dangerous MacrossMissileMassacre, said missile volley can be easily avoided by simply going near his HumongousMecha's lower half while almost punching it to oblivion. His final fight against you isn't much better, since you can simply hack at him away without major consequences.]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0pB1PE09Go "The Friends We Made"]], the ending credits of the Final Battle of Season 2. The lyrics constantly [[SelfDeprecation make fun of the song itself and the Final Battle’s]] [[NintendoHard extreme difficulty]], but it doesn't stop the song from being an awesome rock tune.
--> ''This song doesn't make any sense, but at least [[LampshadeHanging it sounds pretty good]].''
* BreatherLevel:
** Season 2
*** ''Wacky Wizards'' has an obby in which players compete with each other, and can boost their performance with potions. The catch? The effects stick until you win. This means that after drinking enough potions, the obby becomes a massive cakewalk.
*** ''Adopt Me!'' has the player simply touching three crystals, then going to the Sky Castle and complete a very short jumping sequence to get the Trophy, and the crystals are located in very obvious locations.
* DisappointingLastLevel: Season 2’s final battle has been ''extremely negatively received''. In spite of being delayed, many have agreed that it was not worth the wait, largely due to it being [[ItsHardSoItSucks extremely hard]] and [[ObviousBeta buggy as]] ''[[ObviousBeta Mountaineers]]'' and general lack of playtesting. The negative reception to the final battle was so bad that ''they harassed the developers over the RB Battles Discord'' thanks to a question in the quiz section[[note]]"Did the devs do a good job?" The answer, "No", is not the correct answer.[[/note]] which led to players accusing the developers of [[CantTakeCriticism not being able to take criticism]], and it even reached to the point where ''some even refused to do the final battle because of how buggy it was''. The only positive thing most of these players said was that [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the end credits song, "The Friends We Made", sounded great]], but when that stood out as the only good quality, it says a lot about how bugged it was.
* ItsHardSoItSucks:
** Season 2’s final battle received very negative reputation for how [[NintendoHard very, very difficult]] it is. The sword objectives and two of the challenge objectives listed in ThatOneLevel below, which were previously the hardest objectives in the event, [[DifficultySpike are nothing compared]] to the Final Battle. The Final Battle is released in ObviousBeta state despite ''the delay'', resulting in many bugs disrupting the gameplay, such as two players and four giant robotic hands showing up in the about-to-be described boss battle instead of one player and two hands. The boss battle with the hands which begins the Final Battle suffers lag on low-end computers, causing your ship and its lasers to be slow and making the battle harder, [[PortingDisaster is downright impossible on mobile]], and has to be replayed every time you die. The code section after that suffers from the GuideDangIt problem, not offering obvious cues on how to progress, sometimes the random codes [[UnintentionallyUnwinnable would result in no solution and softlock the player]], and there are DemonicSpider robots which spawn everywhere and shoot accurately at you, dealing mass damage in mere seconds. Worst of all, there are ''[[CheckpointStarvation no checkpoints]]'' after finishing the code section, and plenty of hard obbies and FakeDifficulty challenges follow. It took [=KreekCraft=] about ''7 hours'' to beat the Final Battle. Even the update which claimed to lower the difficulty still left the game in NintendoHard and ObviousBeta state.
** Season 3’s final battle was treated to this as well, despite being much less buggy, (though not without its fair share of bugs early on) it was ''much harder'', leading to outrage from players.
* SequelDifficultySpike: Season 3 is much tougher compared to Season 2, owing to much more challenging quests from within the user-created games. Oh, and while the final battle for Season 3 is less buggy, it makes up for it by being more consistently difficult, forcing you to solve a puzzle from ''the very first stage.''
* ThatOneLevel:
** Season 2 had its fair share of annoying badges to obtain:
*** ''VideoGame/{{Robeats}}!'''s objective, especially if they're not a fan of rhythm games, especially ''Robeats!''. For starters, you have to get a C-rank for "Monday Night Monsters", "Smile [RB Battles]", and "Power Up". Problem is, while the former 2 songs can be completed without difficulty (as Monday Night Monsters is the first song Robeats players will unlock and Smile [RB Battles] is rather easy to C-rank), Power Up is a Level ''14'' ranked difficulty, meaning that inexperienced players will try to attempt to C-rank a song and fail often. The complaints generated towards the unexpected curve in difficulty from inexperienced rhythm game players led to spotco, the game's creator, to [[https://twitter.com/spotco/status/1331710523289776138?s=19 recommend the Goonie gear set to them]], and later downright [[https://twitter.com/spotco/status/1331797647754203136?s=19 nerf the challenge via making that they can complete the challenges by simply scoring the required points]] to make it easier for casual players to complete the challenges.
*** ''Build Battle!'''s objective. At least the above ''Robeats!'' RB Battles event at least required skill to complete. ''Build Battle!'', on the other hand, is notorious for having an incredibly flawed objective. For starters, unlike other topics, you have to win 2nd place or above on a RB Battles topic. You heard right, ''2nd place or higher'' or the [[AllOrNothing badge will be void]]. What really places it here, is that regardless of how well the built art looks, envious players who have less skill in ''Build Battle!'' [[TallPoppySyndrome will try to deliberately sabotage your work by simply disliking it until their work gets 2nd place or above]], meaning that it becomes less of a game of visual impression and more of a game of trying to cooperate with other players or use a good amount of alts. Because of this, it's not common for better-received artwork to lose to a ''single pixel''. Oh, and you can't cheese it by buying private servers and getting others to collaborate with you- for the event, private servers, which were originally free now costed ''1000 Robux'', causing the developer to be hit with accusations of greed and BribingYourWayToVictory from players (especially since the other colors are locked behind the currency and the only way to get them is to either place high or buy them, which makes it even worse for new players). The only silver lining from this is that [[https://twitter.com/frriendRoblox/status/1335001003955875840 frriendRoblox has at least noticed this issue and will implement an update that reduces a player's vote weight if they aren't voting seriously]], and that the Private Server price was reduced to a more tolerable 500 Robux for the event.
** And Season 3 was no better, with its fair share of annoying events:
*** The season began with a really hard Badge from ''VideoGame/{{Piggy}}''. While one of their badges required you to complete the RB Battles map which is rather easy, the hard part comes from getting the ''other'' badge. Simply put, you have to go into the final chapter of Book 1 of Piggy, and then use the dynamite ''not'' on the floor, but rather where an inconspicuous part of where you're supposed to blow it up, avoiding a JumpScare from a Sentinel in the process. Then you have to crack a code from a safe, whose hints are incredibly well-hidden unless you look up a walkthrough. Then you have to use a crowbar to mine some green crystals for some reason, and ''then'' you have to hope that no one used too many bullets, or otherwise [[UnwinnableByDesign you'll be locked out of the final part]], as you have to shoot the now-glowing green pillars in the middle floor. Fortunately, the final part isn't as difficult compared to the rest, but it's such an exercise in irritation that going on to a Private Server may not help for this one.
*** ''Funky Friday''[='=]s objective is also irritating. After going through an obby, you have to defeat [=DJMonopoli, RussoTalks, and SabrinaBrite=] in a WolfpackBoss fight with a 2022 version of "The Friends We Made". Oh, and it's the ''hard'' version, not the normal version, and while ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'''s mainstream popularity may helped introduce players to the RhythmGame genre, it can still throw off some players not used to it. The only saving grace is that you don't have to redo the obby to participate in the boss fight, and you only need to score 40,000 points. The objectives were later nerfed to simply participating in the song, making this a non-issue.
*** Both of ''Shopping Wars''[='=]s objectives are by far considered by many to be the hardest, largely due to a plethora of {{Game Breaking Bug}}s: For the main objective, escaping Planet Bloxmart is much harder than it seems, because it starts with a Flash Sale that lasts the entire round, meaning that players will and can engage in PVP to sabotage others, but aside from that, there are multiple stage hazards that are capable to insta-killing you, making escaping from Planet Bloxburg harder. Hope you like hearing "IMMA CHARGING MY LAZER" a lot. The ‘’other’’ objective, required to get Sabrina's Cyber Shredder, is much harder. First, you have to flood the Bloxmart map in a ''very specific'' order. Next, you have to do the same to the Candy Kingdom map. Then, you have to use the Key Sword on a door to access the boss fight. On top of that, if you die at any point or leave the server, you have to ''start completely over from the beginning''. Considering the PVP-oriented nature of the game, combined with all the bugs, getting this badge is a ''lot'' more tedious than it sounds. Oh, and the Private Servers cost Robux (thankfully at a cheap price of 15 Robux). Not being helped at all was that the bugfixes were only announced ''after'' the 10k Golden Guitar Bits were given out, much like the final battle of RB Battles Season 3, sparking concerns about RB Battles' quality control. The only saving grace is that the main boss, Bob is rather [[AntiClimaxBoss pathetically easy to defeat in comparison]].
*** ‘’Tower of Hell'' requires you to finish the RB Battles Tower by collecting three halos and then going on top of the tower. Putting aside the fact that players can use power-ups to both the others' advantage and [[{{Griefer}} disadvantage]], some parts of the obby can be really hard to complete, and if you die at anytime, you ''have to start all over again''.
*** Both of ''Arsenal''[='=]s objectives are a major pain as well: The main objective requires you to beat the Shooting Challenge in less than ''50 seconds''. The average time of completion is far above that time, to the point where it was nerfed to simply beating the objective in 90 seconds, but if you have to play on mobile, this still may not be enough to complete it on time. For the other objective, which is required to get the Green Bits in ''Build a Boat for Treasure'' alongside the aforementioned ''Piggy'' example, you have to dress up as the Delinquent skin, then strike 6-well hidden cubes around the map, some which even requires you to literally go outside the map box. Oh, and one person can only achieve it per match. Doing this on a Private Server is a must, though keep in mind it costs about 100 Robux.
** For a non-user created game example, getting the Doe. Even if you somehow knew [[GuideDangIt how to equip the boots and pet to get a jump boost]], the pet ''barely'' has enough jump boost to get past the platforms, which require ''very fast and precise timing''.
* ThatOneBoss: In the final battle of Season 3, [[spoiler: iBella is extremely nasty for being the ''first'' boss in a BossBonanza. You have to play on a modified version of the Lava Escape minigame, which is ''extremely hectic'', and chances are, if you don't memorize the course in time, she will likely curb-stomp you every single time, which is hard considering the pace she goes and the fact that she has a lot of moves to your advantage while your gadgets are disabled. It's possible to perform a skip on this step, but doing so is difficult. DJ Monopoli and [=SabrinaBrite=] were not kidding when they said that the games were rigged against them.]]
