* Although some bonus levels in ''Super MeatBoy'' are manageable or even easy, the other ones can be very difficult, including MinusWorld parody, some of the retro levels and a bonus chapter.

The idea appears to be that if you're good enough to get there, you're good enough for whatever the game decides to torture you with.

** ''BeatmaniaIIDX'' also has Extra Stage and One More Extra Stage songs, but of particular note is ''Mendes'', the One More Extra Stage song from ''IIDX 15: DJ Troopers''. If you can actually clear it on Another (the hardest normally available difficulty), which itself is brutal, you unlock an even harder Black Another chart for it. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y57snv0G0TI here]] - the left side is Another, and the right side is Black Another.

* The Cow Level in ''DiabloII''.
** Actually the cow level isn't that brutal. The cows themselves are weak. Their only strength is in their sheer numbers and By the time you reach it as either class, you're more than likely to have some devastating skill at your disposal that will bring them down by the dozens in an instant.

** Also the House of Fun and House of Horrors bonus levels in Klonoa 2. You will need to have your full measure of wind-bullet shooting, enemy-head jumping, ear-floating skill, and be able to perfectly chain them all together to get through them. One slip up, and it's a life lost.

* The original ''CrashBandicoot'' had three kinds of bonus levels, reachable through collecting sets of tokens through the level. Tawna's bonus levels are essentially breathers, where the player can collect extra lives and save the game or get a passwords. Brio's bonus levels consist of much more challenging jumping puzzles, with bigger rewards to match. Cortex's bonus levels are the absolute worst, with absolutely devious platforming challenges. Sadly, only Cortex's levels are oligatory for HundredPercentCompletion, because beating them unlocks extra levels...but should you fail them, you'll have to restart the stage you came from for another chance, and one of the bonus levels happens to be located in the game's resident ScrappyLevel, Sunset Vista.
