I was wondering what the hardest thing to in a Gamecube game is. Here are a few tough things. If you have any others in mind just post them, and let me know what you think is the hardest.

1. Getting Master on Super Monkey Ball 1
2. Getting all the trophies on Super Smash Bros. Melee
3. Getting Everything in Metroid Prime (100% complete and all four parts of the image gallery)
4. Unlocking and beating Ace Mode on Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
5. Getting every item in Animal Crossing
6. Getting the best rank and house in Luigi's Mansion
7. Getting every shine sprite in Super Mario Sunshine
8. Unlocking and Beating Master Extra on Super Monkey Ball 2
9. Getting a platinum medal on every level in 007 Nightfire
10. Getting all 180 emblems in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Getting all 180 emblem thingies in Sonic would definitely be harder than the SSBM trophies. . . I'm only one away from having all of those.

Gads, Gamecube games have so much extra stuff to do. I've been debating with myself whether or not to try to get the best ending in Metroid, and I've decided to do it when I get a new television. I can't see jack crap on the one I have now. . . it's too dark. The onl way I could see in Metroid Prime was because I played it on vacation, where there was another television.

But yes, I'd say those are just about the hardest things. . .

you could adjust the brightness on your TV... or even in game (via the pause menu)

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #3 on:** February 23, 2003, 07:36:23 AM »

Oh believe me, I've tried. Metroid Prime and my television are on full brightness, and I still can't see anything. It's just the television is old and dark. I need a replacement.

Getting everything in Animal Crossing... Man...that's crazy.....

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2003, 08:36:09 AM »

I havent gotten everything in Timespitters 2, thats hard crap IMO.

CRAP just beating TS2 on HARD is one of the single hardest things to do, this side of trying to do a real live "morph ball" move.

Nearly broke my back on that.

11. Getting a warezed Gamecube game to boot.

The single hardest thing to do would be to burn GameCube games. I used to burn Playstation and Dreamcast games. I still can't figure it out although I bet in the future someone will.

MarioFoxZelda · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2003, 11:57:00 AM »

I think the hardest thing to do would have to be to play a new Rare Gamecube game on your Gamecube. Yeah that would be pretty tough.

Gamer Donkey · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2003, 01:04:12 PM »

I have to agree with Rogue Leader. Its the only game that I looked up cheat codes just because I couldn't beat it.

Calibretto · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2003, 02:24:11 PM »

I would have to say getting everything it Rogue Leader. Beating every difficulty and getting everything in Time Splitters 2 is insanely hard also, but with Rogue Leader I can not even envision it a possible to get all the golds. I am sure people have, but it was way too hard to even begin to be fun for me to try and get every gold.

PIAC · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2003, 03:47:11 PM »

the hardest thing other than getting ignorant xbawx/ps2 fanboys to even try playing a gamecube?
hmmmm
well i would go with either getting all of rouge leader done, i only just bought the game, but a friend of mine who got his cube at release date with rouge leader still hasn't done it

all the trohies on smash bros melee isn't easy either, i still have 1 or 2 of those to get..

The hardest thing to do in a GameCube game?

Dance.
I know if I was stuck in a GC game, I'd find it very hard to dance, I mean, c'mon; the discs are so damn small! I couldn't swing a cat in one of those. Not that I do anyway.

*Looks around, puts cat down*

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2003, 04:32:35 PM »

Rogue Leader is definately the most difficult challenge on GameCube. It was all I could do to get silvers on every stage. I have a few golds, but not even half the levels. And I won Golds in every level of Rogue Squadron, so I am no newbie to the genre. It's just insanely hard.

rodtod · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2003, 04:40:45 PM »

bump mapping.

oh, as in most difficult feat for a gamer to attempt. I'd say #4, beating Ace Mode on RL.

RahXephon · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2003, 04:59:43 PM »

sorta off topic, but my gf has EVERY item in Animal Crossing. She plays everyday at least an hour since launch.

WTF is this bloody obsession with bump mapping? It's no harder to implement on a GameCube than on a PC. And there are just as many GameCube games that use it as PC games.

Alliedrally68 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2003, 07:53:31 PM »

I'd say beating Resident Evil on Hard mode is one of the most difficult things to do on Gamecube. Well, that and having the patience to beat Eternal Darkness three times through.

4. Unlocking and beating Ace Mode on Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader

Damn you guys must be lazy or something. Unlocking Ace mode is the hard part. But Ace Mode itself? Piece of cake. All you need to do is dogde a sh1t load more than usual and your home free. The thing with ace mode is that the laser fire is not more accurate or anything, just more of it. From light rain to horizontal rain. Enjoy

I'd say the hardest thing to do on Gamecube is wax Gracie's car in Animal Crossing good enough to get a Gracie original design shirt. I jam on that A button as hard as I can and I've never been able to pull it off. My brother has managed to do it only once. The "test of strength" in SFA is also ridiculously hard and again I had to have my brother do it for me.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about in both situations the only way to win is to press the A button as fast as possible. They both rely entirely on button mashing and any sort of skill doesn't play any part at all.

The hardest overall game I've played on Gamecube is either Rogue Leader or Super Mario Sunshine. Probably Mario because you have to beat numerous hard parts just to beat the game while Rogue Leader only becomes super tough when you try to get medals. Plus Rogue Leader is more "fun hard" while Mario is more "frustrating hard". Isn't Mario Sunshine supposed to be suitable for kids? Why did they make it so difficult?

Uglydot · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2003, 12:27:57 PM »

Bump maping is everyones favorite catch phrase, half don't even know what the hell it is.

I would say that SMB and RL get the top two slots.

Razex · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2003, 02:42:57 PM »

I'd have to say unlocking and beating Ace Mode in RL, because I have absolutely no idea how to do it.(I guess get all golds?) I haven't even gotten silvers in all the levels, or maybe I have...I'm not sure. But getting any gold is so insanely hard...I never even felt like trying. SMS I did not think was THAT hard, I got all 120 shines. The only slightly hard thing was getting all the blue coins...but I liked searching every part of each level to find them. And Master Mode in SMB 1 and 2...maybe I'll go back one day and try to unlock it and beat it in SMB, I don't know about SMB2, I just don't like the levels as much. Getting all golds in all the challenges and arcade leagues in Timesplitters 2 is pretty hard too. But I've actually gotten a few platinums. I haven't even started story mode yet. I think the challenges and arcade leagues are just pure fun, but those pare in comparison to the multiplayer, which is unbelievably fun.

I'd imagine it would be really hard to cook an egg on my GameCube.

Uncle Ed · « **Reply #26 on:** February 24, 2003, 04:41:31 PM »

Wait for the new griller expansion Windyman, it also hooks up to the GBA SP and is required to use in Animal Crossing 2.

Hardest Single Thing to do? Have fun with Simpsons Road Rage, hahahahaha...

Hey, I'm the king of rapid button mashing. I mean I can get over 110 on Domination in Mario Party 4 no sweat. And I consider that a true "skill".

Hardest single thing to do on a Gamecube?

Stop playing it.

Vegetendo101 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 24, 2003, 10:22:35 PM »

For me the hardest from the games i own has to be getting all 180 medallion things on Sonic 2. I usually tend to finishe a game beginning to end before i start another, and Sonic Adventure 2 is the only game whiche i havnt finished completely yet, that i dont play with anymore. Not to brag or anything ,but i consider myself a more than average gamer, I was given a god like talent when it comes to video games,ahahahaha! well compared to anyone i know. ^_^.

Rouge leader wasnt hard, just that last stage were u have to beat "Wave after wave of imperial planes". Oh god, i went brain dead a couple of times. Getting all SSBM trophies wasnt hard either, just got the list of the thing i had to do and went to work. Those Blue coins in Mario sunshine was just time consuming, not hard just had to look and look and look. Luigi's mansion was a breeze,lol, why even mention it. Metroid Prime i just tackled all at once and got everything except the Fusion suit cuse i dont own a gba or fusion.

And with Animal crossing, well I just got it at the begining of this year, so im far from nearly collecting everything in it.

Or how about this:
-getting all the gold Skulluta spider coins in OoT Master quest? I just passed the game but only have like 30!. Good grief.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #31 on:** February 25, 2003, 03:38:26 AM »

Seriously though, any game that requires you to get medals or some such thing is an impossibility for me. I have Nightfire and Rogue Leader, and I just can't get any better than I already am. I mean, take Rogue leader. You CAN'T go through Battle of Endor, Imperial Academy Heist, Ison Corridor and Raid on Bespin without the targeting computer. And Strike at the core is just crazy. I as soon as I get shot down (about 3 seconds in), the cut scene immediately shifts to see the Falcon/Wedge getting shot down without even giving me a second chance at trying it. Another thing is that Factro 5 should have done done just that little bit more homework on the ships. The Y-wing is just too slow. Screw the great shields. Beign that slow, you can get hit a million times over before you hit the ground. But the worst ships are the Falcon and Slave 1. The are undoubtedly the coolest ships in Star Wars, but in the game, they are slow as an ant carrying a jumbo jet, and their shilds are worse than the A-wing. It's crazy.

Sorry. I love the game, but there are just a tad too many faults in it then I'd like.

PIAC · « **Reply #32 on:** February 25, 2003, 04:33:33 AM »

true its not super acurate to starwars but they do have to ballence it for the games sake, the Y-Wing is pretty much what i expected it to be but it does't have the option of fireing your ion cannons like regular lazers which would hae been nicer (more acurate too)
but still, im having fun with it

Dolphin64X · « **Reply #33 on:** February 25, 2003, 08:47:47 AM »

Hey, Factor 5 did the Falcon and Slave 1 accurately enough. Ever read the novels? It's pretty obvious that those aren't starfighters, and thus can't be expected to compete with them in terms of speed and maneuverability.

And if you want to talk hard, how about beating Resident Evil on Invisible Enemy mode? Yeesh. I don't even want to think about it.

And really, Mario Sunshine was hard, but I didn't have any real troubles getting 120 shines. Did it in a week and a half, as a matter of fact. Now, my skills with Time Splitters 2 are another story...my friends regularly destroy me, even though I've made it halfway through on hard mode.

Rogue Leader? Hard, but not impossible. I have something like 7 or 8 golds, and the only reason I don't get the others is becuase they are so frustrating: play a 10-minute level, find out your accuracy was 2% too low, do it again, ad infinitum. But really, I never used my targeting computer, I just kind of thought of it as a crutch.

Hardest thing to do on 'Cube? Save a sports game's season without like, 90 MC59's

Damn memcards are too small. Even the mighty 251 is almost entirely gone when and NCAA Football 2003 season hits my 'Cube...

As for actual hard things in games, the hardest thing I've taught myself to do is beat each and every "void" level straight in SMS without dying once.
