** In terms of getting lum completion, Don't Shoot the DJ has a very strict lum count that basically requires you to memorize every spawn point, because lums and lums and enemies will come fast and at odd angles.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The game is well-known for making the fairy girls (all of them) [[MsFanservice absolutely blatant sex-objects]], complete with HartmanHips, JigglePhysics, suave voices (albeit in pig-latin), porno-like music when you save them and the trailer shows Rayman using his hair to blow Betilla's skirt up...also, Betilla created him, so that technically makes him [[ParentalIncest his MOM]]. Just to top it off, the manual describes Betilla as a badASS.

Too vague. And the trope is That One Level, so if all Mosquito levels are hard, none of them are this trope.


* ThatOneLevel:
** Some of [[UnexpectedShmupLevel the Moskito levels]] can reach near-BulletHell levels at points.
** Mecha No Mistake [[MemeticMutation is too damn hard.]] Unlike the rest of the game, which is rather fairly designed, every way you can die in this level just SCREAMS FakeDifficulty, especially in the sections with the crushers and the light-up platforms. And the Time Trial is near impossible. Some people consider it even harder than the Land of the Livid Dead itself!

** The music of the swimming levels in general. For the most part, it's ridiculously cheerful.

And try to [[PlayedForLaughs play it for laughs]], even.
