Unlike the other rival battles, which can be challenging due to their random jumping pattern, the Turd merely makes small hops back and forth, making it easy to jump over. If you have the Fukonami Swear N' Scout 9001, it becomes even easier because it reveals elevated platforms where it can't hit you.

* ThatOneLevel: Virtual Insanity. It's a gruelling gauntlet through the toughest challenges the game has to throw at you. Many players have trouble just getting off the ground floor, which makes you WallJump back-and-forth across a OneHitKill laser with spinning flames and death blocks and requires extremely precise timing to pull off, and even if you survive that, you still have to contend with buzzsaws everywhere, a huge monster gauntlet near the end, and the Nostalgia Critic or Fred Fucks (depending on version), who has no easily abused attack pattern and thus becomes a pain at higher difficulty levels. Though it's expected that a final level be difficult, it particularly exemplifies this trope in the ''Deluxe'' version where it's likely to be the one level preventing you from unlocking the bonus chapter, ''Tower of Torment''.
