Does Scrappy Mechanic include levels?
That One Level is for the hard levels, but is there a YMMV for the levels people just don't like playing in general? Like the Goddamned Level to That One Boss's Goddamned Boss?
A few months ago I added the Pac-Land stage on YMMV.Super Smash Bros Ultimate as a Replacement Scrappy to the Pac-Maze stage as I regularly see negative comparisons between the two; it was later removed as misuse, which I agree with, but even outside of comparisons to Pac-Maze, rarely does anybody actually want to play on Pac-Land (I regularly see people self-destruct when I pick it).
I know it's not limited to Pac-Land within Smash, as other stages like Hanenbow, Mario Bros., and 75m tend to elicit groans if someone picks them, but most of the time I see the "levels nobody wants to play" filed under That One Level (in fairness, it can actually be hard to play on some of these levels, so you could make a case that it would fit both that trope and a hypothetical "Avoid This Level" trope).
