2* Episode 1, level 9: A fairly iconic, yet simple, boss level. The main foyer shows a door off in the distance, and your escape from Wolfenstein. However, Hans Grosse is waiting behind the door with dual [[GatlingGood Gatling guns]] and wishes your a good day before aiming his gats at you ("Guten Tag!"). Hans Grosse in VideoGame/Wolfenstein2009 references this line before he kills somebody in a bar fight with his fists, and before he fights you as the FinalBoss.
3* Episode 3, level 9. Aside from the Fake Hitlers, this is the [[SignatureScene all-too-famous level]] where you get to face Adolf Hitler himself. In a [[StupidJetpackHitler Mecha Suit]] armed with [[GatlingGood quad-Gatling Guns]] no less. [[NoKillLikeOverkill And you get to reduce him to bloody mush.]] As [[WebVideo/Civvie11 Civvie]] put it, "you just don't get a better ending than killing Hitler".
4* Episode 6, map 9 is the boss level of Episode 6. For some players, it can be ThatOneLevel, but for others, it's a balls-to-the-wall slug-fest where you mow down an army of Nazis and then face-off against a pretty interesting boss. If you enjoy rooms packed with a lot of guards to mow down, then this level is probably your thing.
5* Episode 6, map 10, the secret level of Episode 6, provides four quadrants to explore, a fun amount of guards to mow down and plenty of challenge. This is also the only map outside of Episode 2 where you can fight Mutants again until [[MissionPackSequel Spear of Destiny]]. Three of the four quadrants have an encounter with [[DegradedBoss Hans Grosse]] who is just as strong as ever like in Episode 1. Besides one other level, this is the only level in the original series where you fight "Super-guards" like a more regular enemy.
6* ''Spear of Destiny''
7** The game has you single-handedly storming a heavily fortified German castle, stealing the Spear itself from under Adolf Hitler's nose, and killing a giant red demon from Hell. All in 1940. B.J. Blazkowicz has been battling Nazis and the occult a whole year before America even entered the war.
8** Floor 16 "King of the Mutants" puts a huge army between you and the Ubermutant boss. It's wall-to-wall action that has you holding on for dear life, culminating in a frantic duel with the King of the Mutants himself. The Ubermutant is fast, and you'll probably be running and gunning while backpedaling.
9* Even though the [[Platform/{{SNES}} Super Nintendo]] port was seen as a PortingDisaster that didn't do the source material justice, the title screen shows a nice representation of a shirtless [=BJ=] firing a [[GatlingGood huge minigun]] with a broken castle wall in the background. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2022_05_17.png A nice image]] summing up what Wolf 3d is all about. It might be considered a bit of a shame this image didn't end up on more box art.
