You mean like a jump you can't seem to make, or something you have to time right or else you to restart the level?

Could be Scrappy Mechanic, but if one part of one level is infuriating, I think it becomes That One Level by association

@kenshinta

Well, yeah, a jumping sequence, an Elevator Action Sequence full of Camera Screws, a brief but infuriating Unexpected Gameplay Change… all kinds of things.

Maybe it's just That One Level But More Specific but maybe it would be better to have a supertrope… Scrappy Mechanic seems like a fine substitute though. For most of the cases.
