YMMV / Holiday Hex

• Awesome Music: Both of the Boss Rabbit themes, "Incisors" and "Omega". Both feel so Easter, yet they have a Christmas texture to it. It also alleviates some of the difficulty for the latter, but prepare to hear it a lot in that case.
• Demonic Spiders / Goddamned Bats: Some of the enemies that you use to grind can be either one of these, especially The Ornery Hares in the Silver Lake Base.
• Nightmare Fuel: The new game over screen is just a black background with the same text from EarthBound (1994) on the side. It's a bit unnerving to some who shiver at the sight of the dark itself.
  • The Omega Hare is clearly NOT the kind of Easter Bunny you'd expect for a final boss, though it's kind of less scary than difficult.
• That One Level: The Silver Lake Base has literally swarms of Attack Bunnies/Ornery Hares that can call for help, and almost always, there are other bunnies to join them. Also, they can hit like a SUV when higher numbers gang up on you, and the Orneries can breathe fire, which just amps up the difficulty. Also, the Stone Lizards (read: palette-swapped Crag Lizards from Mother 3) can get in the way when you're trying to blaze through the cave, but they are not that difficult, they're more annoying than anything hard.
• That One Boss: The Omega Hare. That blasted rabbit can cost people savestates if it decides to summon minions, use its assault attack(s!), bum-rush one of your party members, or all of the above. Additionally, the only way you can stop the rabbit from using its bum-rush attack (contrary to what Spencer says) is to use Tina's "Retrain" skill when you're clearly reserving it for better SP-intensive attacks like Double Strike. Additionally, the lack of Herd Hitting Attacks like Ness' "PK Rockin'" attack (in addition to the fact that the only Herd-Hitting Attack that you have is Kyle's "Fire" series of skills) can make it hard to take out the minions that it can summon. There's a reason why the Power Shield is one of the first skills you need to put up during the boss battle.
  • The Vorpal Rabbit is also a contender, but it doesn't hurt as much as its bigger brother(?) up above.
