dah I’m not a water level Oh welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst water levels in video games
for this list we’ve chosen the worst
levels that are set in or around water
the lethargy difficulty confusion and
gameplay changes that are sometimes a
stigma of water levels are taken to an
absurd extent with these soggy stages
for water levels that you might enjoy be
sure to check out our list of the top 10
video game water levels number 10
crashed frigate orpheum Metroid Prime
Samus actually boards this space vessel
in the game’s first level but after
defeating a group of fairly weakened
space pirates and the parasite Queen the
ship crashed lands into the waters of
talent for when Samus returns it is a
submerged wreck guarded by a few
stragglers and shrouded in murky
darkness it’s this darkness that hurts
an otherwise interesting level as it
makes the player all too reliant on the
bright fluorescent thermal vision to
find anything it’s also not a good idea
to enter the frigate without the gravity
suit an item that’s really easy to miss
by the time you get here number 9 the
combination Conker’s Bad Fur Day
upon meeting miss catfish and her school
of catfishes conquer reluctantly makes a
deal with them to get back their fortune
for them in exchange for 10% you’re
offering me cash oh okay that’s a catch
part of the insanity he has to deal with
is diving into clangs lair a series of
dark maze like pipelines that are home
to the titular clangs which are giant
metallic jaws with a green eyeball
inside since conquers a slow swimmer
it’s difficult to balance his air supply
with recharging his flashlights to keep
the clangs away but worst of all the
animation that hints how much air you’ve
got left is not the most intuitive so
it’s basically a guessing game that
keeps you from not drowning number eight
underwater hunts Monster Hunter Tri
monster hunter try and it’s rereleased
Monster Hunter 3 ultimate are the first
and only games in the long-running RPG
series to feature underwater battles but
not without good reason there’s an issue
where monsters would be a cakewalk to
battle on land and then become
overpowered when they’re at sea it also
doesn’t help that certain weapons are
near useless underwater altered controls
compared to those on land makes these
levels even more frustrating as moving
your hunter and the camera underwater is
a chore top it all off with egregious
collision detection and it’s enough to
make you surface and kiss dry land great
concept not so great in execution
number seven forty fathoms tombraider to
hitching a ride on a SUP lara travels to
a wrecked cruise ship the Maria Doria to
recover an artifact but miss Croft is
left in a bit of a sticky wicket when a
shark capsizes her sup most of the area
is shrouded in darkness and it’s fairly
easy to find yourself swimming in
circles as Lara loses air she must face
two great whites with her fairly weak
harpoon gun as her other guns are
useless underwater if she makes it to
the ship the worst is over
but it’s a big if and a lever filled
maze an Italian cult and more deadly sea
life await her number six world seven
for Super Mario Brothers 3 since the
very first mario games
water levels have had a special place in
our heart that place is generally a deep
dark corner where cheep cheeps try to
kill us the soul water level of
pipelined takes the cake as it mixes the
standard hazards of water levels with
auto-scrolling in short the level
literally pushes you ahead with little
to no time to explore or fight off
enemies but the real danger starts after
a swarm of electric gillette row appears
since they are invincible to Mario’s
attacks players must work quickly and
precisely or they’ll end up on the
blooper reel number 5 mount koozai Skies
of Arcadia
in the search of the blue moon crystal
buys in his crew enter the underwater
caves of mount cos I’m inside they have
to traverse a multi-tier maze and solve
tricky puzzles to get to the enchanted
stone this works against players as the
game’s random encounter system will
spawn enemies every few steps diving
underwater is enemy free but it’s done
in a clunky diving suit that slows
movement to a crawl the biggest
annoyance of the lengthy level is
tortuga not only can the flying sea
turtle monster heal all its health but
it has a technique that renders every
attack but the team moved Prophecy
ineffective number for Great Bay temple
The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask link
travels to the cursed water temple to
stop the pollution that has tainted the
Great Bay similar to the water temple in
ocarina of time the Great Bay temple can
be an aggravating and tedious adventure
to get where he needs to go link must
open valves in two different pipes and
do it in a somewhat specific order this
does include a lot of backtracking
causing first time players to get lost
especially when you factor in the
inclusion of some really unforgiving
currents upping the ante may be the most
difficult boss and mid bosses in the
game link has to jump into the water to
damage guy rock at the risk of the
masked fish boss swallowing him whole
number three the labyrinth zone sonic
the hedghog for as much as sega gave
their hedgehog loads of attitude and
coolness they forgot to teach him how to
swim he’s totally the guy that wears
socks and sneakers to the beach am i
right
anyway hydrocity zone still to this day
expands of the blue blur but that’s
nothing compared to the unfathomable
frustration that is the labyrinth zone
it’s an underwater maze do I have to say
more this stage is three acts of Sonic
walking in water climbing and avoiding
every ridiculous badnik and death traps
set in the place then there’s being
stalked by the totally not the jaws
theme when Sonic’s about to drown better
get an air bubble before it’s too late
number two Atlantica Kingdom Hearts 2
the last time Sora Donald and Goofy were
in Atlantica they battled some nasty
underwater heartless and it was a bit
tedious but still enjoyable this time
around
no heartless er to be found just a love
story and a quick time rhythm game
disguised as a musical wait what did you
think attention Shikoku and the music
move you you couldn’t do it while the
classic under the sea is still here the
rest of the songs are unbearably bad
like bad enough to make those Disney DTV
sequels look oscar-worthy all of this is
capped off with an anticlimactic boss
battle with Ursula we do not want to be
a part of this world
I think so before we dive into our top
pick here are a few dishonorable
mentions
number one the dam level a k-8 that dam
level Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
let’s be honest if shredder and Krang
were ever this clever in the show the
heroes on a half-shell would have been
turtle soup by now here their evil plan
is to spread time bombs near a dam which
will flood New York City if they blow
the Turtles jump into the dam to defuse
the bombs only for it to be loaded with
electric seaweed underwater lightning
and other insanely cheap traps clunky
swimming controls add yet another
wrinkle to an already volatile scenario
with a whopping 2 minutes and 20 seconds
to diffuse all of the bombs it’s enough
to make anyone say damn do you agree
with our list not over yet do it Tim by
which water level cramps your style for
more awesome top 10s published every day
